today
when heading outside to have breakfast on the patio, I discovered the first fallen leaf--green veined with splotches of yellow. A turning leaf, the first sign.
I'm seeing lots of signs these days--double numbers on the clock (11:11, 2:22, etc), my boat sailing away on a calm blue ocean, and last night, after talking with Joe about star tattoos (he's convinced that if I get one, it should be on my belly so I can be like the star-belly sneetches!), we see a girl on her bike, pedalling away from us with a big blue star tattoo on the back of each calf.
It's all good.

I always loved that story. I used it once when I was an aide in the Assoc Youth Activities in Germany as a learning activity about differences and prejudice and equality. It went over pretty well I thought.
Would you get it around your bellybutton or off to the side then?

Nahh...I'm not getting one, but if I did get a second tattoo it would be a little star...and some place where people could see it. I have a celtic knot tattoo on my right hip but no one ever sees it.
