And now for some verse…

Petrichor

The skies are black over the city today.

The smell of rain, that sweet perfume.

I’ve never been good at names for things.

But I know what it is to be rained on,

to have the sky open and the city close,

to have the petrichor rise up and embrace your face:

like motorboating Mother Nature.

And so much for all that. Today is for serious book work…not for windy walks in the rain. The time has come to kick ass! In fact, it’s long overdue. I am behind schedule, and that means that there are asses in desperate need of kicking walking around unkicked. So I’m gonna get back to it.

I’ll leave you with this note from Fitzgerald:

“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late, or in my case, too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you have never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find you are not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.” ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald

Indeed.
