101

I'm on a couch, and it's hard to think, because I'm really sleepy.  My friend just told me to talk about her, and her boyfriend, and this couch that I'm on.  It's a lovely couch.  There are comfortable cushions, and sheets, and blankets, and pillows.  One of the sheets has all the colors of the rainbow, and the other is like a velvet purple.  I have a San Francisco Giants blanket, and an Indians blanket.  According to my host this will even out the National League and the American League.  I am too sleepy to think of an interesting topic because I woke up earlier than usual this morning in order to move out of my September sublet in Oakland.  I am on a couch in a very nice neighborhood in San Francisco for the next two nights, as I still have to teach through Thursday.

What else... I ate sushi tonight.  I'm not a huge fan of sushi, but the restaurant was called "Umi," and it reminded me of this song I like and used at the beginning of a piece I wrote months ago about "shining your light" on the world.  Also, "Umi" is like saying "you me," or, "you are me."  Tat tvam asi.  As in, the world is one.  Or something like that.  I know I'm tired, but many intelligent people have said it before and will say it again.  Anyway, the sushi was oishi.

I am fortunate that I have friends who live in San Francisco and host me on such a colorful and thematic couch.  I wish they moved here earlier than a month ago.  I think they'll like it here.  I did... sometimes.  It's not San Francisco's fault that I'm leaving.  It's just the journey I'm on.  I feel lucky that I've been able to make this place a part of the journey, which makes sense because Journey is from here.  I also feel incredibly lucky that this couch is so comfortable and... enough.  Sleep.  Sweet dreams.
