Above the Clowds
The sun is imprisoned
above a leaden sky.
The creek is swollen
like an aching wound.
warm coffee is my solace
from the cold autumn wind.
I am wishing right now that I didn't live in a tent. It's cold and rainy. The highway noise makes sleeping difficult. But when the sun comes out, it is the most free, wonderful feeling in the world to be alive, and outside, and in love. I am living right now in the moment, but with eager anticipation for future moments invollving warmth. I am at peace despite some discomfort. It isnt' the first time we've been rained on during the course of our trip, but after so many rains you just start to feel sick of it. OK, enough of that train of thought.
The Sunshine Coast is a wonderful place. i want to raise a family here.I want to help Mike build our home, far from the highway, on a dirt track that winds and turns up the mountain to a wonderful view and enough land to allow us to live approximately self-sustaining.
Mike and i talked about our wedding last night. So a few details have become clear. Our wedding colours will be red, black and white. we will be gatting married in Kelowna, on the July long weekend (Canada Day long) outside, under a pavillion. We are both looking most forward to the reception, where we will have KARAOKE!! We want to serve the foods we both love, so the menu is looking like this;
little sandwiches cut into triangles, lots of different types of crackers and dips (spinach dip, hummus, cream cheese, etc.) I would like to roast a salmon, and have some roasted potatoes, and maybe some soup. Mmmm, barbeque.
I need to start looking for a caterer and a DJ. I am not too worried about a florist, I want to handle my own decor. I do need to find an actual place to stage our ceremony and a place for the reception afterwards. I need to find a kelowna phone book and start phoning DJ's. The dj is the most crucial element of the whole shebang. I want a wide enough selection to please myself and mike, out friends and our families, witch is a difficult thing. I want to mosh in my dress at least once. I would love to crowd surf. I want a tiara. I want all sorts of stuff that is difficult to arrange from out of town... Oi. i am overwhelming myself.
Ok off i go...
