"Oh the dragons are gonna' fly tonight
They're circling low and inside tonight
It's another round in the loosing fight
All along the great divide tonight"
Emmylou Harris "The Pearl"

I was clicking around and saw that it had been 66 weeks since I last updated. Wow. I don't know what this journal was for. I kinda' thought it was a way to chronicle my life, but that didn't work out so well. Then I thought it might be a creative outlet. I don't know about that one yet. I feel obligated. The simple act of posting makes me feel as though I owe something to this unreal online entity. That it somehow requires that I pay homage to it every so often and I was so uninspired when I stopped last time. Life not worth narrating I guess.

So why now? I have no idea.

In the silent moments before bed there's a certain quietness about the house. There's no street noise and I think that maybe I was internalizing and felt the need to have an out for whatever. Not that commenting on my lack of digital participation is really anything of substance. Mmm. Just a thought.

So on the verge of sleep, here I sit. Full from my supper, listening to Emmylou Harris. Next a song or two from Natalie Merchant, then bed. A comfortable silence as the roommates are out of town. Southbound. The house I think has even settled in for a good night's sleep.

Sweet dreams LiveJournal. Count your digital sheep, let the sweet and permeating light of the dream world fill your mind until you awake to a new sun.

Emmylou is over. I better switch to Natalie while I shut down and then I too will venture beyond the light into the dream world.
