today.

Posted By on July 11, 2010 in Performance, Thoughts and Feelings | 8 comments

Today was spent in the business of pilates and baking and peanut butter tasting.

It was waking up from a dream that involved large prehistoric birds, tigers in tree-cages, and a good friend who dropped me off; I felt alone and scared, but upon a closer look I noticed that I was actually home and there was no sign of the birds or the tigers anymore.

Today was fingers all stained from colored pencils cause I’m making a picture again.

It was filling my thirsty car up once again while quietly observing a drug deal to my left. I tried to pretend like I didn’t notice, just in case they minded.

Today was painting my toenails a pretty minty blue and subsequently planning on wearing flip-flops tomorrow so that the world can see this fete on my feet. Ha.

It was running to meet someone in the rain and, sure, being glad that the earth was finally getting watered, but also not minding the fact that I had a reason to wear my yellow rain boots.

Today was playing a show with Shane; singing songs that mean something so good, I think; passing the time but not wasting a second of it, because yes, it’s that precious. It was seeing my family–every one of the original Latshaws and then some–listening to us from among the crowd. And then my brother Josh, telling me that he’s gonna have to remix our rap, cause he’s gotta put someĀ ke$ha all over it.

It was getting home late, heart full and happy and needing to bake just a little more because there’s another party tomorrow. But first there’s church, which leads me to now–this business of sleeping so that I can then get up and get to church.

Because today is now tomorrow.

    The thought of you wearing your yellow boots made me smile. Glad you got to see all them Latshaws and then some.
