Gone Fishing

Dear Faithful Blog Reader,

I’m terribly sorry that I haven’t updated since I moved to Prague. You see, it’s like this:

I want a simple life. And one of the biggest reasons I moved here is the strong determination I’ve adopted to map out a life for myself that isn’t lived behind this computer screen. So when I can avoid it, I do. Thus a lack of posting. Don’t feel that I don’t want to keep in touch, but I’d much rather communicate with my readers more directly at this phase instead of just sending my words out into the void. So find me on facebook, email me or call. And keep an eye out for postcards!

I’m not saying I’ll never post again (yet), but don’t bother checking for a while… ’cause I’m taking an extended vacation.

Sincerely, your loving wanderer,

CAT

‘The Song Continues Sweet’

Written on February 15, 2010 – 10:03 am | by Cat |
Lifted above all these things,
She peers down: small cities, conquered in a glance
and in minutes, passed over, forgotten.

An excitement, a fear. Life in her throat,
refusing to be swallowed. The taste is so sweet.

Minutes become hours, tomorrow the world anew.
Changing trains, and a deep breath inflating sobbing lungs.
The air is cold but it’s free.

Doubtless. Onward. But alone.
She’s a life lived once. And weightless.
