Right now, I'm not at work. The sterile cardboard cubicle is not closing in on me. The steely-cold glare of the flourescent light is not a spotlight on my disappointment and failure.
Right now, I'm outside on a sunny day, enveloped in cool breezes, looking at the water.
I'm barefoot in a hammock, wrapped in my white kaftan and letting wind-borne drops of water kiss my face, my neck, my feet.
I have a pen in my hand and a small leather book pressed against my thighs, propped up by my bent knees.
I'm not here.
(There.)
Lucky you...

ReplyDeletemmmmmmm and the faint clack, clack of palm trees overhead, and a soft shhshhhshhh of the ocean on a Togo beach, a breeze, the grainy sand under feet-a French children's book--that's my place...
