Early a.m. thoughts:

1) We agreed that if I die first, you'll tell me I'm dead, and if you die first I'll tell you you're dead. Likely we'll be meeting at the local FoodMart several times a day so that the news won't shock either of us.

2) The little girl is much older than her mother.

3) His brain's being fed a mixture of pure air and Serendipity.

4) Two thousand stolen lightweight plastic pink flamingoes unite the front yards in Hampton Roads.

5) Two lace-tiny spiders in my sink cause me to wash my face and hands very gently, using very little water, and directing it to only one side of the sink.

6) Fifteen people with the same expectation will bring exactly the right food to a potluck supper.

7) The real look of love is appreciation, and maybe chemistry.

8) A car dealership that displays huge humanoid windsocks and brings nice piles of beach sand and beach pails and shovels for children will get my business. Plus I like the manager's gentle surprising jokes.

9) When the temperature and humidity index meet at 95 degrees, and it is a full moon that same night, your secrets will be revealed to you.

10) The forty-year-old woman, very healthy, wrote her memoirs without telling a single incident in her life.

11) If I decorate my kitchen counter with nothing whatsoever, I will notice that I have no food.

12) Rumi who may have no peer, wrote hundreds of years ago that he is a blackened kabob.

13) Your joke opened her heart even though she will never tell you.

14) A catflap is not like the automatic door at the supermarket.

15) You can go only one way through an automatic door, but, wonderfully, the door will open only when you are ready, so do not panic.

16) My car engine reminds me that I forgot to display my I Contribute to the Local Police Fund decal on the windshield.

17) Cosmic Birther of All Radiance and Vibration plays with my computer, the telephone lines, and even now the radio.

18) Therefore I know that even machines are alive with Creative Power.

19) When a zoo lion looks relaxed, I wish it was not just because she was well fed.

20) In some climates summer is a test, but in climates where both summer and winter are tests, it's best to relocate even if you like your neighbors and have a good job.
