My first real night living in Sitges |
Sun down, work over
the dogs and I walk
barepaw on the beach
and watch
the half moon
rise
And from somewhere
out at sea
we hear the sound
of cosmic chillout music
carried on the wind
Rhythm section provided
by pounding surf
and the white noise drone
of waves
caressing the shore
Over which
sirens
are singing
Softly
Odysseus unbound
I listen to their song
and walk home
to write this
for Penelope
I think I'm going to like living in Sitges. Yeah, I have
technically been here for some time, but I really haven't
had the ability until tonight to really Be Here. I've had
to balance the moving to a new country and a new lifestyle
and...well...a new life with 60-70 hour workweeks. I'm
still living out of suitcases and boxes. Suffice it to
say that this is not my usual way of moving to a new
place. I'm an occultist -- whenever I move to a new place,
and a new life, I usually have my new house impeccable,
in a Castandean sense, within a week or so.
But nooooooo. Not here. Work intervened. So here I sit
tonight in a lovely apartment with a lovely garden,
chilling out as the sirens urged me to do, but within
an apartment decorated in a style once described aptly
by Architectural Digest as Early Cardboard Box.
But tonight my long, grueling tech writing project is
put to bed, and (so far) sleeping peacefully. I can relax.
And so, I am. I took a long, ambling walk with my friend's
dogs down the beach. And with each step my smile widened,
and my step lightened, and more of my inner slumbering
selves woke up.
It's a nice place, here. If you can Be Here. And Be Here
Now, that is.
I think I'm going to like living in Sitges.
