the Obsession Chronicles

this is my life

i think it's all about attitude * you get out what you put in & all that * my life is the white-crowned sparrow in the fern outside my window catching my eye as i sneak a couple hours between tasks on a Monday morning to catch up on my real work of keeping the creative juices flowing * life is ol' Blue Eyes singing about his way right after a Flaming Lips song about how we were never meant to make it -- both of them comforting to me in their own way, the old ways always connecting to the new -- followed by a heartswell of percussion called The Other Parade, a song that speaks without words of getting lost in a good moment *

life is the habit ever since i started writing myself in stories of calling myself Em because i love the letter M & because i always type em instead of me ... then being left for a girl named Emma -- & being able to appreciate the humour in it, of course, that's vital * a little thing like that -- a secret name that i slip & type so often but have never shared -- reminds me of 2 other lives connected to the present, keeping the breadcrumbs scattered on the path behind me * one memory takes me to Portland, to the time when i started writing my life as it might be, as it was in some parallel universe of emotion dream echo possibility * in a way it was the true story of that time * the other reminder that i'm no better than any other, a reminder to see & appreciate every bit of it, including the irony of those laughing fates * i smile at it all *
