My journal is becoming more like a workbook, a sculpture, I’m trying to fill in the blanks. I’m trying to find my lines. I know I am filling and finding and growing. This summer will be good, but not in the way I expected.

Today, instead of doing anything I had planned to do, I went and sat on the floor of a record shop for a couple hours. New records is such a good feeling. I got: Otis Redding - Lonely and Blue Johnny Mathis and Deniece Williams - That’s What Friends Are For Air Supply - The One That You Love Lawrence Welk - Yellow Bird H2O - All That Glitters (Rusts In Time) Single Earth, Wind and Fire - The...

My refrigerator sings me to sleep, there is peace here. It is quiet and it is hidden. There’s nothing original I can say about this sense of “becoming” I feel. Maybe that’s okay. I’ll settle into my unoriginality and say,
Life is beautiful. Being 21 is quite the fucking experience, and no one really warns you about it. I think that’s okay too. Not having...

Spring night,
I had a half-asleep dream of you, a quarter of a continent away, drifting away further from me into a dream-filled ocean, your bed a giant wooden apple crate. I’m drifting there too. Lets meet in the middle.

All I want to know is why do Canadians wear things with the confederate flag on them?
I mean,
Canada wasn’t even a country when the Civil War ended.
And this is Canada.

Today,
8 more hours of packing cans of beer into boxes, thinking about how the human body doesn’t make a very good machine.
Breathe in, Mid-May chilled like late-October. Shea body butter, fresh grapes for lunch, the rest of the week to read and plan and reflect and hope.
Today will be a good day.

a name sung quietly from somewhere
behind you....”

Quiet day,
cold day. It freezing rained on me on my fresh air clear my head walk to the corner store.
Waiting to build a finish line. To interweave months with markers. To not float through any more days.

My dashboard is not going to be the same without Col. Chris Hadfield’s photography. What an amazing thing to help get people excited about space again.

Everything blooming bright in the cold windy rain
I’m inexpressibly excited for being alive today. Sometimes breaking open grey clouds seem to be searching. I got through an interview today with Public Outreach, and am 1/3 of the way to having what sounds like the most amazing summer job.
Today is cafes and morning glory muffins and sleepiness from a night texting with B till 4. This isn’t...
