ali's Corner. [A Day Away To Discover And Play]

the majority of the time
i feel like i get so much
out of so little.

today i played the leading
female role in a film.
half way through i realized
that i could never
be an actor.
and this makes me strangely,
very happy.
it's comforting to know
that i simply don't know how
to even pretend to be someone i'm not.
bloopers were more present than not.
but the laughs that were shared were completely
genuine.
my character is always ali.
it's impossible not to be.
how wonderful to know.

catching up with an old friend.
someone i've known since i was in 3rd grade.
geeky glasses and nerdy striped sweaters.
i remember learning long division with this guy.
we have a history that when brought up in converstion;
won't die down for hours.
how comforting to share a night like that
with someone of your past.
how wonderful to hear.

finding the coolest christmas lights
on a house to stop and look at.
nearly drooling on my steering wheel.
in absolute awe.
completely comforted at the fact
of an elderly man loving christmas so much
that this is how he shares his spirit with everyone else.
how wonderful to see.

a hot shower after a wonderful day.
as the hot water runs off my
hair and down my naked back
i hug my knees to my chest
so incredibly
comforted
by the warmth
embracing me.
how wonderful to feel.

what a wonderful day.
