Ten.Two Thousand, One Hundred & Twenty

1. Not ready yet.

2. Someone is already making coffee. I cut up the strawberries and fill my bowl with fruit. I stare out at the gray misty skies and wonder if we will be blessed by sunshine again.

3. Feelings that I can’t describe.

4. I try to make the words come, but they don’t. It’s okay. The words coming from their mouths are more important anyway.

5. A love/hate relationship with Highway 1.

6. I keep taking pictures even though I know there is no way I will be able to capture what my eye sees: the color of the water, the way the fog hugs the bluffs, the pelicans, the seaweed churning.

7. A warm ham and cheese sandwich, greens, tomato soup - the best meal of the weekend.

8. We keep walking.

9. He says it will only take 10 minutes. I do not believe him.

10. She lights candles and brings them to the table. We eat our chips and salsa and tacos, drink our Joel Gott Sauvignon Blanc by candlelight.

11. I just want to be soft.
