Do you ever feel like you missed your chance at something? Well I do. I know that I really have no one to blame but myself. But recently, I let something slip thru my fingers so to speak. Not that it is a big deal but it would have been nice. I guess I just dont really care anymore. Does that make me apathetic or just pathetic? Ha. I guess at some point I may regret it but right now I am just indifferent.
anyway.
Well I leave tomorrow for the coast and I have every intent to sit in the mist and drink hot green tea! Among other things I suppose, but there is something cleansing about the rain, hot tea and a cigarette. At least for the brain. Maybe the spirit too. Weird, how it feels like I am going home. I am even a little nervous. Not about the trip, that is always ok, but about how it will feel to be there and experience where I was and what I left 10 years ago: again. I know it will be different yet somehow the same. Still, I know I can never really return. But it is in my head and it will "feel" right. Perhaps I am just rambling but, the smell is the thing I miss the most. The dampness of the earth. The delicate tendrils of mist on the hills. mmh. Good for the brain... Anyway, so I may be posting I may not I guess it really depends on how I feel and if I am not to busy relaxing. Back soon.
