flow writing #143: full moon horoscope

Consistency for creativity – yes – I definitely need to do this – similar to D – I have been drawn to clusters of leaves – I drew a very quick leaf the other day and it was fun. I feel like the less time you spend on trying to accurately draw a leaf – the more leafy it looks.

leaf lettuce – red and green – sharp, crisp salads in summer – salads in wraps – fresh bites of tastiness…okay, where is the story…

My partner talks about his Naanii’s raspberry garden a lot…so I bought a raspberry plant last year – it has grown up about two-feet tall and has just started producing berries – I LOVE raspberries – we live in a townhouse and I check on my plant a few times a day to make sure my neighbours don’t sneak them through the gap in the “privacy glass” separating our balconies.

It’s kind of funny – his name is Oscar and he’s always scowling around and smoking weed – so smells like trash, and her name is Joy and I always hear her giggling – plus she has jumpy curly hair that looks like it gets up to good mischief.

Oh mischief – at what age did I stop getting up to mischief – like REAL, GOOD, ADRENALINE-pumping mischief.

Hmm… in Toronto we would hop the fence and break into outdoor pools after midnight for a quick cool down… or did I ever even do that? We talked about doing that a lot and I had swarms of circles of acquaintances and their friends who would tell the mischievous stories of those nights… shit! Did I just hear those stories so often that I inserted myself as a mischief bystander – cutting my leg on the fence… rolling an ankle and playing it cool as to not ruin the fun… dipping and splashing and cooling off… hearing a security guard or rent-a-cop and making a quick dash for the towel, flip flops and swiftly clambering onto our bikes.
