Lately, my life has been about rhythm. And that’s from something as simple as walking to the beat on my iPod for miles and hours at a time. Or something as complex as listening to the thrum of my heart at odd hours of the day.

I heard something the other day, someone describing music as not the notes played, but the silence between those notes. And that’s been careening around my mind for awhile. How a rhythym is made up of a repetition of silence and noise, silence and noise. Rest and work. Peace and tumult.

That’s all I have to offer on this. No conclusions or application. Just a thought in a moment of peace before the tumult.

What was the best thing that happened today?

For me, it was seeing friends that care about me, who miss me, and who want to make plans with me.

Yeah, that’s pretty much all I have to say about it. Had it this morning at a neighborhood diner, Single Tree Cafe, in Healdsburg, CA. It rocked. A lot.

Well, maybe I do have more to say about it. I guess I’m just pleasantly surprised that I have so quickly and happily have shifted my palate to plant-based foods. I got more excited about a fresh pluot the other day than I would for even a Vosges Barcelona Bar.
