October 8, 2013 at 2:34pm Best Seat In The House Sitting here at the kitchen table this morning drinking the blackest of coffee letting the most amazing cool breeze envelope me through the back window I forget for a moment that I am still in the city which for me is a love/ hate relationship. Sun streaming through the screen wondering if this should be my writing spot from now on........ As I let my senses wander, a flock of geese fly by not seeing them... only hearing the sounds I let my mind take over such a calmness it is new to me. The cat trying to decide if she would rather lay on my keyboard or jump over me to the window sill for a game of let me THINK I can catch the birds,yet she is to confined AS AM I Why do the geese fly south for the winter why do they run from the breeze as I run into it letting me feel like there’s a chance. I have so much to do and so little time yet I let it get away getting distracted so easily even the sound of the street cleaner out front has me jumping up to go see while I’m in the middle of writing. So many sounds... the stir of a spoon from across the alley someone else is hammering on the wall two doors down. Trains tooting their horns while the birds chirp frantically fighting over a crumb... the wind chimes from the front porch make their musical appearance right in the mist of the black cloud coming from a speeding tractor trailer, today the best seat in the house is the kitchen table where I draw my inspiration so I can actually hear the words that I write in turn helping me to FEEL just that much more.
