as far as forever

on itunes: thom yorke doing neil young's "cinnamon girl"

a windy day in L.A. and blue sky and sun and it's cold for L.A. winter break is almost over and of course now i want to write. wasted all that time, as usual. so my new year's resolution is "willpower." applies to everything: losing ten pounds, writing every day, being a more organized teacher.

to celebrate the new year (a bit late, yes) with a poem, here is william stafford's poem "our story" in its entirety:

remind me again - together we
trace our strange journey, find
each other, come on laughing.
some time we'll cross where life
ends. we'll both look back
as far as forever, that first day.
i'll touch you - a new world then.
stars will move a different way.
we'll both end. we'll both begin.
remind me again.
