inside out at cafe ladro |
Something someone said last night really stuck
with me: How much longer can people go on just staring at
rectangles?
Oh my god, I thought, that is me! How'd I get sucked into the machine? Little
kitty never saw the vacuum cleaner coming.
Oy.
The snow was cold and felt like reality. The way it transformed everything
reminded me that change can be instant and rekindled the itch to travel.
What does happen to
a dream
deferred? In between festering and exploding, there is filing away, the
unchecked item on the to-do list: live today.
But for the time being there was no place better than sitting at a cafe table
with friends while a smiling sun melted snow to drips and the roads were
kind of quiet, a friday morning snow day in seattle. i wonder what
others
were thinking, shaken from routines, standing at their
windows. |
