today, i walked from here to there and back again. i shared a pas de deux with the wind. i danced with a butterfly. i obeyed traffic laws. i passed by the junction of the structured and the free. i laughed at the busy streets with some delightful little sparrows. i discussed the tedium of life with a world-weary squirrel. i understood puns. i tried to converse with a bunny, but the little rabbit had somewhere to be. i missed austin. i drank in the stories of a million flowers. i had a glass of the best mango iced tea in the world. i cracked jokes to myself. i laughed. i let it all pass through me, as i passed through it. i ate blue animal crackers. i was happy.
