i went for a walk this evening through the orange grove. i stopped, at one point, and looked closely at a small section of an orange tree. i saw a gnat, a small spider and a lady bug. i blew on the gnat and it disapeared. the spider ran under a leaf upon the realization i was looking at him and the lady bug, who was in hiding in a curled up leaf, just stayed put.

today was hard. the questions i am adressing in my head are heavy ones and the dreams at night last long into the day.

today is your birthday. i drew this for you... i wanted to mail it, but i didnt. happy birthday...
