I went to see an opera about the jazz age and then, while biking back home, stopped dead to listen to some performers at a street fair sing "Dust in the Wind"---at least, before they lurched into a laughing "Happy Birthday" at the crowd's request. I pedaled the rest of the way home singing to myself, so actually, everything in the world is wonderful and good. I can't believe my brain repeatedly tricks me into thinking otherwise.

#you know how I wrote that post about the pit of despair?#what that post doesn't explore is how giddy and joyful you feel once you're out of the pit.#once you're in the sunshine listening to someone play the electric violin it's the highest high you can imagine #it's better than drugs. it's better than sex. I am only just keeping myself from weeping out of sheer abject joy.#I got drinks with old handsome boss; I met with a former coworker for breakfast #I went to museums. I went to the opera. I cleaned my apartment. I even did work!#(also I finally got a drink at the schlitz tied house! that's been on my bucket list for a while now)#to live in the world and occasionally be reminded of how much there is in it is......well. it's all and everything.#celestial emporium of benevolent knowledge
