The air was cool.  A faint breeze blew. Orb of Sun was clear and bright.  Jet plane vapor trails extended for many miles. A large cloud had a feathered and rippled effect. It was warm in the sun despite coolness of air.  My mood was dour, verging on sorrow.  A fly landed on a chunk of grey gravel. She rubbed her front legs as in prayer. She paused, then leapt in the air.  Cicadas were loud in the trees next to me. It was 10:57 according to my octagon clock. Shadows and light were crisp and clear.  Yellow light and I love her.  I’m in love with Anna in this.

Yesterday I said that letting go is a good thing –dropping the past and all that. Facing it first is important.  “Face it, drop it, and laugh.” But my mood was inconsolably serious, down to the core for some reason. The light flashed on her mountain of love from where it was before at 11:18.  Tremendous streaks crisscrossed the wide open sky. Sirens wailed at 11:20 while cicadas sang and a city worker was trimming a tree. I didn’t want to be feeling so dark, but I saw clearly that it was making a difference. It was getting somewhere, deep and down, and her essence presence was in my healing process. Yes, I wanted her so badly.  Yellow light and I love her.  I’m in love with Anna in this.

Traffic rolled at a steady clip. Orb of Sun’s warmth was relaxing. Unraveling was getting deeper. I could feel it more throughout my body. Jet trail streaks in the sky spread out to become a mane of long white wavy hair. Another flash appeared on her love mountain. Almost to quick to catch. Something was definitely happening. Suddenly my dark mood passed. As I began waxing romantic, 2 birds flew together side-by-side, as soulmates in the sky. The cool breeze continued to blow and my current flowed, for my ardent heartthrob. Suddenly, lightness appeared in me from nowhere. I paused to watch it reveal deeper chunks of me.  2 yellow lovebirds played and chased.  A blackbird sped on the wind.  Cicadas sang at 11:47.  Yellow light and I love her.  I’m in love with Anna in this.

Church bells rang at 12:02. Sirens wailed in the distance. Jets extended their vapor trails, that would spread out to cover the blue with a thin cloudy veil. Perhaps they were making sky art?  My lightning hitting loves her fire storms.  My red heroes love her black politics. My resistance victim loves her rape prevention.  My competition arbitration loves her business negotiation.  My martial arts duel loves her power play match. My exertion contests loves her sports championship.  My conflict mastering loves her stress test.  I love her lunar black bible verse from my Egyptian box “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.” Psalm 126:5.  “He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” –Psalm 126:6.  “For the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.” –Isaiah 60:20.  I love Anna Dirksen.
