Life is running in technicolor these days. Doesn't seem to matter what channel or day or time as all is more vivid - the blues bluer the days longer... imagination becoming reality on a daily basis. While there is still no sign of Xola, i know for sure he is gone. I think of him every time i consider leaving something out on the counter top and realize sadly that it will be "safe" because no one is there to lick the butter, steal Shaloob sausages out of the frying pan, or run off w/a chicken leg leftover. He is now a predator in another world and i hope the biggest bad-ass that no other creature would even consider snacking on him; that He is hunting coyotes and not the other way around. And life goes on. I've started commuting to work. A nice 10.5 miles round trip on my 21 year old Coral Pink Lotus Esprit 600 Triathalon Series road bike now turned Franken-cycle that my father bought me. Pimped with kevlar-lined hybrid tires, new grocery panniers, and a Down Low Glow neon amber bike light (yet to arrive). The best thing about the ride would be the treking through Goleta Beach and then the wild bunnies which live on the other side of "bone-cracker" bridge. Riding to-and-fro work these past two weeks i now recgonize the other commuters and walkers and runners... almost all of them smiling. I myself cannot stop grinning while riding my coral pink contraption. If all of that doesn't convince you that indeed i am living in a techicolor parallel universe, then this time-lapse video taken on my backyard deck of the Kangaroo Paw plant and it's guest emerging should; it's amazing. |
