let it snow

Listening to Ella Fitzgerald singing "Let it Snow". sitting at Buzz cafe watching it snow. appreciate it now as everything is supposed to melt away by tomorrow. this morning i swept over six inches off the car and walked in the drifts around the car and front steps. it was so grand to be out, and for a few moments the scenery and timeless aspect of a new snow trumped the small scope of my daily routine. this beauty is right here now.

last night i dreamt two friends and I were in Australia walking along a pathway leading from a country scape to a town. one friend was blind and couldn't walk. so we were describing to him, amazing red leafed trees that lined our path. we described the water and the rows of gorgeous buildings. and i noticed, in the dream, that as i was describing the richness of what was before us, my friend who couldn't see was tilting his head and listening intently, wholly absorbed. and then i knew that he was seeing perfectly well. having a whole experience. we stopped at a little stand and gave the fellow a five. and recieved half a scone. and on we went. why half? we shared it between us.

Australia is on my "always wanted to go" list. if i decided to visit as a concrete plan in a fixed future date, perhaps then the dream would have yielded a whole scone. silly to analyze a dream though.

what today can i generate to make a whole day, outside of yesterday's usual routine of work, lunch, workout, evening activity of some sort. not that cleaning a cupboard can't be illuminating.

i'm ready to look for the magic.
