a shock to the system

welp. i put jean and the fabulous anne casey on BART at high noon yesterday. they were beautiful in their delight and excitement: two of the finest people i've ever met. jean, who was slightly out of her mind with fatigue, couldn't stop grinning, and kept mumbling, "omigod, anne, we're totally going to france."

it fills some hollow place in me to see my loved ones happy. imagine water trickling in and filling an underground cavern: lovely, quiet, and a bit echo-y.
