i love prarie smoke bushes and

i love my friend don.

i had an interraction with a strange girl in ypsi.

in a crystal shop (i know a crazies fave hang out).

she sidled up beside me and demanded to know if i was okay.

my first reaction was 'she knows i have cancer! i must look horrible!'

i answered her that i was okay.

i already 

felt 

like 

i was 

revealing 

too much.

then she asked if she could shake my hand.

i extended mine.

i think she witched me. (only half laughing).

i gleaned two things:

be aware when i am blunt when speaking to others (yeah i know) how it might be received.

we dont have to answer peoples questions when they are asked!

feel your belly.

and to be more in the moment in interactions so i can consider my responses 

and not have them come on auto.

i did not want to shake her hand, i so did not.

i felt like it would be rude to politely decline.

at the cost of what?

yuck yuck yuck.

next time i WILL politely decline.

i smudged myself when i got home.

tonight is game night.

ps. if you are driving south on 23 and exit at willis road
there are like a million prarie smoke bushes in full glorious bloom on both the ramp.
peach to cherry to wine to blood to fushha magic.
its worth just the drive for reals.

xo.
