a television show that has lost all of its appeal. only watched to connect me to one who is no longer viewing. reruns upon reruns of episodes i know we've previously witnessed. but what are those others with whom i am now so overly connected drawing from this experience? i'd rather change the channel. or better yet. turn the television o.f.f. and read a book so well recommended. for hours upon hours hoping it will never end. but knowing the feeling of closing it, just to open it from the other end. to start anew. connected inside something beautiful. the unattainable. the escape. the scorn. bitterness. almost hatred presented to much of the outside world. only to encase something so elegant. artistic. beautiful. weird. laughable. loveable. you. and. i.
the yellow green leaves outside my window dance in and out of the shade provided by their brothers higher up. protecting them for seconds, moments, and hours at a time from the intensity of the celestial centerpeice of our solar system. but oh! how they miss the brightness its intensity provides. color so vivid so real. it cannot always be shaded by tinted lenses that adorn our faces, and it cannot always be blocked by those higher up. no. the world is to be experienced in full color. the most extraordinary of images, hues, textures. the beauty of our surroundings should not be limited by anything man made. like the light pollution that obscures the horizon in the bradley observatory, in our desire to escape the harsh, gruelling, and intense rays of the sun, we are left without the lovely images, right outside my window.
what? what's that you say? you say today is saturday?
so now i'm off to play.
