Spent some time lying on the side of the levee, watching the meteor shower, wet grass, summer nighttime sounds, me & the sky.

Not ideal viewing conditions by any means, hazy, Northampton's always over lit sky washed out, full of noise, especially at the horizon. Still gave me a chance to make a wide variety of secret & not-so-secret wishes. Usual variety of overwhelming emotional states, you'd think they'd die down, not so much. Cried for a while, half drifted off, visions of warmth & kindness.

Such straightforward warm feelings, can't get used to them, usually of at least two minds about most everything.

I'm so happy you're alive, not really any way to overstate it. Wish you were.

Walked home feeling sticky, alert, white farmhouse by a streetlight, distant shouting.
