Reminisce

some moment i just sit and reminisce, i realize that life flashes before our eyes. our souls drift here and there in the continuum of life. there are these moments in which i think upon little roots of happiness i have placed within the depths of my heart and mind. the little moments i slipped away dressed to the nines to have a cocktail with a dear friend downtown, how i crave an evening in which i find myself in a pretty number, put on a kickin pair of heels and saunter about young - free & bold.

the bike rides in the sunlight, breezing through historic neighborhoods and fancfully wishing for old houses to be mine. feeling the sun filter through my hair, the warm embrace the universe offered: with my littles in her bike seat, exclaiming in delight and concern "careful mama - not to fast, mama"..

taking a walk through the neighborhood to our favorite icecream shop - for good old 'Thrifties' icecream. chocolate malted crunch and mint chocolate chip for my darling.

the late nights when i turned on the old 64' magnavox record table, as we swung our hips to old jazz until we collapsed on the floor, heaps of giggles... how those tunes lulled my angel to sleep as i sipped a glass of wine after a dinner party.. lights swaying in the breeze on the little porch.

the flamenco night at the Clarendon when we amazed at the passion of dancers - squeezed lime into our soda water..then swapped into our swimmies and soaked in the jacuzzi..

i know these are small things, beautiful memories intrenched in my mind. i understand the universe unfolds as it may, and we are finding our way in a new time and place. somehow i know it will all come about in due time. im counting myself lucky: but sometimes these bones ache for the familiar..and so i slip into revelry.
