Life is asparagus - long and the tip is the best part. This time no desert or doggies but still got ginchy when the arrived call came. //cue the Flashdance tape. Caregive and caretake are as opposite as the arts and drama masks but part of the aspirations that were never misplaced. Maybe a little misanthropic but never quite in the category of "Things to be Found". It's like that James Baldwin quote about "finding yourself" and what you find is the "same you". The big difference now is getting that I'm not the only person with whom I'll spend my entire lifetime. 26 years ago today a brilliant life was horribly changed. 20 years ago asparagus found me and her. // cue the love theme.
