"we've all been pushed too far"

[omnia_mutantur]

it's a fantastic life. and i say that without an iota of sarcasm.

beltane was amazing, i love watching light's connection with the ocean. it's very different than mine, but just as deep. and the maypole was fun, and i'm always charmed when people notice that i'm freaking out, because i'm so used to having it either not noticed, or not considered noteworthy. Mean Girls was hysterical if too happily ever after and just thinking "danny devito, i love your work" cracks me up still.

i pretty much end up more in love with light every day. which i guess is supercorny to say, but it's not like it gets bigger, more that it gets more detailed. like carving, or sculpting. (probably telling that i choose arts so violent to their mediums, when it is seems not so much violent as inevitable, the deepening of glacial potholes, or the transformation of rock to sand)

lyric and panache send amazing emails, and i had a good time bordering on the absurd last night at haymarket with someone i don't know well enough to give a real usename, so i'll cheat and call him cbb, since the only other usenames i can currently think of are either someone else's for me (aware) or sound unkind out of context (trapped). (if you read this and take offense, i'll be happy to explain). but it seemed he understood everything i said, and actually thought about the questions i asked, and even if the topics weren't necessarily the most cheerful, there's something exhilarating about the interplay of minds similar enough to talk and different enough to challenge. and there's always the nearly carnivorous glee of "you know things i don't, teach me" and he's wicked good at it.

i'll see history tonight, and celebrate the anniversary of his being-in-the-world-ness and how cool that is.

light moves in soonsoon.

i'm loving the book i'm reading, though it's terribly far from my normal choice of reading material.

all in all, i'm very happy. mostly, though, right now i'm just very sleepy.

Ah, yes. My new friend deadwinter is saying something rather similar. There was a breakup, and his life was really sucking, and he was obsessing, then a few days later his birthday happened, and his lover and I proved that not all situations with sharing have to involve jealousy and insecurity. His response, when someone saw the both of us cuddled up to him and said, "Life is good, huh?" was, "It does not suck."
Yep. Quite true.
Sounds like you're in a similar place. This is good.

How do you see my connection to the ocean? Compare and contrast with your own.

For extra credit, cite three examples.

(You don't really have to, it just seemed appropriate after saying "compare and contrast")
