10 days, 19 hours, 41 minutes
since my last cigarette. The cravings are more manageable, although I could really use a smoke right now. Will run twice as hard tonight and remind my lungs why I quit.

Folding Chair - Regina Spektor

Folding Chair
Regina Spektor

♬ Maybe one day you’ll understand that I want nothing from you but to sweetly hold your hand. ‘Till that day just please don’t be so down, don’t make frowns, you silly clown. Just come and open up your folding chair next to me. My feet are buried in the sand and there’s a breeze. There’s a shadow, you can’t see my eyes. And the waves are just a frothier version of the skies. ♬

It’s a Far kind of day. This is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums of all time.

Can't Go Back Now - The Weepies

Can’t Go Back Now
The Weepies

♬ I can’t really say why everybody wishes they were somewhere else, but in the end the only steps that matter are the ones you take all by yourself. And you and me walk on ‘cause you can’t go back now. ♬

Words

There are certain words I have visceral reactions to, words that when spoken or read, call out to me and grab me, words that my body just instinctively responds to, like solace, desolate, melancholy, nostalgia, forget, fumbling (specifically the present participle form, nothing else), languid, shiver, soothe, infinite, fragile.  I’d include free cameras but who doesn’t respond to that. I also respond strongly to the words cigarette and bunnies, preferably not in the same sentence and even though I can’t have any more of either. I’m sure there’s more but I can’t remember right now. Do you have any? What are yours?

(Loving the replies to this! Thanks, guys. Fall and ache make my list, too. Mango and quantum eraser tickled quite a bit.)

♬ I do believe in all the things you say. What comes is better than what came before. And you’d better run, run, run, run to me. ♬

I climbed a massive dead coral formation (i.e. very sharp rocks) in jeans and flip-flops for this view. I took this quick iPhone photo for myself, shot my entire last set within the 10 minutes of glorious, glorious light, then just stood there, in awe, wishing I was there on my own time. Must go back soon.
