I went to California and Idaho and loved it but felt sick and a bit off the entire time, unable to tap in. It was sunny almost always, cool, flowers everywhere. Idaho ended with snow tossing about sun, literal sparkling/glistening, until we drove away. The cloud stayed deep, then parted for the plane to come and take us home. Four flights, three time zones and sixteen hours later: I landed over cherry blossoms just finally willing to sleep, caught the red-eye sunrise.
I kept pulling the Lovers card in California with Amy. She is my older and only sister. She can be fickle and stuck-up, delightful, goofy, healing, a very best friend. I am pretty certain we extracted exact opposite matter and lineage while hanging in the womb. She thinks I’m dramatically selfish. I think she’s cunningly selfish. Every time I take a deep breath I start crying. She wades past that gully entirely, entirely—until now, ever? We go on to just love, to try to gather a state of grace, not always bottling up, letting go. We’re out to find our Lovers this year. Seems noble, even beautiful.
