Well the last blog had a bit of a insane rambling mood to it. I had a choice of taking it down, unsure of how I felt letting sit there…an afternoon of inspiration gone array? But then again, sensor the blog and you end up losing the point of it.

I had the girls together today. A day of being totally lackadaisical. A good day. Sitting on the bed, stretched out on the African red blanket, the four of us mulling over the meaning of life and which one of us is the most argumentative.

We have all heard each other’s stories before, but yet we listen each time like it’s our first. Laughing and recalling it as if it was your own memory. My soul mate made a comment today, that my studio floor inspired her the day before. As she lay there, writing sweet nothings to her twin. Bean asked my soul mate if she could see auras? Does she have a sixth sense? My soul mate replied, “No I just like lying on the floor, stoned”. She had spent the day writing such beautiful things picked out of nowhere, talks of pirate ships and feeling like a towel under apple pie….. I think it was hearing this that inspired me to write in a more…artsy description. I laugh when I read it, not sure if its my style. But you have to try it all.

A beautiful end to the day, the sun setting as we are sitting around the secret secret spot.

There is quite a steep little hill to walk down to get to the waterfall. It's filled with fallen rock and very loose gravel. As Bean and I were taking our time, finding stationary rocks to help us, we heard, "You just have to know where to put your feet!". This was spoken by my heterosexual life partner, giving us her wisdom with a bit of sass.

All I see next is her running down the hill. I'm thinking to myself, "how impressive". But the bottom came, she did not stop. Then the trees came, still not stopping. Then the hill leading towards sharp rocks and water, she finally did stop, almost in the water and on her ass. I don't think I have laughed (after she gave us the thumbs up) so hard in quite a while.

I feel lucky to have friends that you can share a day like this with. Doing nothing but wanting to be nowhere else in this world but with them.

If I'd have been wearing runners instead of flip flops, I totally would have been able to stop on my feet... and not over the next hill!!
