Sitting on the front porch on a misty LA November morning.
This is my new church.

I have worship to perform.
I have a quarter dozen freewrites to catch up on and

Plenty of ambition
My new church is the church of my own creativity.

The way I look at the world around me and turn it into
Expressions

Written words, faces I make, behaviors, choices all of my
Expressions.

This morning I woke up early. I made coffee, offered food to
The dog, who eats less enthusiastically than he once did.

I don't want to undersell the case. I don't want to oversell it either. He's not who he once was. He hasn't leapt over a baby gate in ages. He hasn't leaped onto a lap in ages. We aren't who we once were. We don't sit for hours at a time with a laptop propped on a pile of pillows, sitting close so that the dog can lay across both of our laps for hours at a time for hours at a time.

I don't want to oversell the case. I don't want to undersell the case. The love is all there. From him to us and you to me and back again in the circle. But we don't have the time anymore.

I don't want to sell the case at all. We do have the time. We don't have the time together anymore.

I blame work.

No. I blame... money? Choices? Money.

We worked together once upon a time. But we need and we want more money now, and only working apart can...

It's long since time that I was finished with this.
