I love Fridays!

Who doesn't love Fridays? Yes, I know, it's a Saturday, but I figured that Fridays are so awesome that I can pay homage to them any day of the week. Has anyone seen Eat Pray Love starring Julia Roberts? That was the movie of the hour last night, and I enjoyed it. Although I was a bit disappointed by it, it did raise many good questions and cause me to think.

Moving on. I think what I love most about writing is the organization it provides. I can be overwhelmed by a thousand million different thoughts chaotically bouncing around in my head, yet once I begin writing, the tangled mess suddenly becomes an unwinding spool of thread that has a beginning and slides smoothly to the next thought, and then the story or paper or blog post takes over and writes itself, and all I must do is let my fingers move over the keys. It is a fantastic feeling.

Just wanted to post a quick little verse I constructed out of my homesickness when I first got to school:

I miss black on gold-brown and flaxen on red-gold

I miss a narrow stripe and a white star

I miss pricked black ears and pinned red ones

I miss soft brown eyes and wide copper ones

I miss quiet breathing and loud snorts

I miss gentle muzzles and swishing tails

I miss the crunch of carrots and the smell of hay

I miss manes that catch tears and comforting nuzzles.

Have a fabulous weekend, everyone!
