be the ocean…

Desk-dancing to this one today, as I power through my end-of-the-semester to-do-list:

Oh, I beg you, can I follow?
Oh, I ask you, wanna always
Be the ocean, where I unravel
Be my only, be the water where I’m wading
You’re my river running high, run deep, run wild

Jana and CatBonny through the Window., originally uploaded by mind on fire.

Last night we got the rare change to hear hip-hop violinist Emily Wells playing in an OC venue (at Muldoon’s in Fashion Island, following the NB Film Festival). Even as much as I ridicule living in Orange County, the opportunities that result from living so close to LA are unrivaled–from art galleries, to musicians, to the gorgeous beaches.

Though Emily’s cover of B.I.G’s “Juicy” is probably her most popular piece, my favorite of the evening was “Mercy”:


Note: if you want, skip to about 1.5 mins in where she starts singing. Haunting, IMO…

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
