there are none.
--Miles Davis
i have offended folks with my blog. its palpable. and it isnt even because folks who read it are prudish or noncussin types--just very sensitive. and i think i am fairly soft most of the time. so it must seem a big change up. i can say it is all meant in the same, exact loving way as anything else i ever say. i think it is even considered.
today, i saw a dead frog on the side of the highway when i was walking to teach my last class before leaving. it was early and dark, but the unmistakable little legs in their froglike posture... and then this evening coming back from rehearsal, there was a mother deer who had just delivered a baby and was about to deliver a second, awkwardly trying to get some distance between herself and the car. the new calf, or whatever you call a baby deer, was loping after her on such new legs. how amazing to come in to life and immediately have to run. and the mother, trying to lead the little thing to safety while giving birth again, and having her own sense of survival i am sure!
i have nothing to complain about. although i do. and nothing to be cussing about really, but i do. mostly, things matter, and i find waste and disregard and thoughtlessness and greed unforgivable and against goodness. it makes me cuss, as my mom used to say when i was a kid-cuss. ;) she's from ft worth. too.
ps a friend handed me a cd today of the american folk blues festival 1981 with louisianna red singing everything i do gonna be funky. oh yeah
