'Cause I've kissed a girl and I liked it too

- worried about your book?

- oh, there's my book, the war, the laundry, things i said 15 years ago, the environment, my double chin, unanswered mail, what an ass i am, what a dirty house we have -- and i've had "goodbye yellow brick road" playing in my head for *days*. . . what about *you*?

- oh, for me it's tornadoes, family, all the wood i still need to cut, and then there's a kind of k-tel collection of my 25 greatest screw-ups of all time. i replay that one a lot.

- man, i *know*! i'm still cringing about stuff i said when i was *nine*.

- walking *does* make me feel better

- movement is key.

- i wonder why?

"I'm confessing that I don't know if I'm ready for this."

"What is 'this'?"

Being open. Being hurt. Liking. Not being liked. Seeing the flicker on. Seeing the flicker off. Leaping. Falling. Crashing.

Scattered leaves don't lie
Aw' now baby, baby, quit your cryin'
Like everything that ever mattered, scit-scat scattered
Like every love word you heard
But that's just the way when you walk your days
In the beauty of this world

during the 1930s–50s, [asthma] was even known as one of the 'holy seven' psychosomatic illnesses.
