Fog
I kid you not! I truly believe I heard the girls ahead of me in line at the movies this afternoon say "Let's paint our faces black and go as black people!"!!
But only now is it occurring to me to ask why they were dressing up at all. I still feel like its Halloween. I am so disoriented!
The movie I saw was The Pursuit of Happyness: an absolute must see! Triumph in the face of adversity, inspirational courage and strength of character.
I live in a very "have" neighborhood. I'd say even more so than my hometown, which is pretty swanky. Not only do people here seem to have a lot, they seem more entitled. On occasion you'll be reminded of the have-nots. Sometimes when you walk on the beach there will be a homeless person sleeping against the cliffs.
I don't fully understand where I am or who these people are that I've landed amongst. I think its worth exploring. (Of course Waldorf people are Waldorf people; silk scarves, sensible shoes, social inaptitude.) Someone told me before I came here that the land here does not actually belong to this continent. It is a sliver of India that fused onto the Americas in pre-ancient times. It makes me want to do yoga.
Tomorrow my soul sister Shay arrives. I think we both carry around an ancient sliver of each other. I am overjoyed to have a kindred spirit to share Christmas with!
