"Salutations! That's my fancy way of saying hello."
Couldn't sleep last night. It's a good thing. Sometimes, late at night/early in the morning, I have sudden explosive bouts of inspiration. On this occasion, however, before I could get a chance to process my feelings, Charlotte's Web popped up on HBO. Haven't seen that since...I couldn't even begin to remember. It moved me. "It's rare that you find a good friend or a good writer. Charlotte was both."
I'm still a child in the whole of things. I don't think I'll ever out-grow it. A memory of chance meetings, original endings, spiral staircases and open-ended conversation provides a spectrum of unusual happenstance and just past the clicking of keys, the sneezing of rats, the smell of freshly roasted coffee when a minuscule chunk of immortality sweeping in on the morning air is where I'll live for a while exposed and content.
