So it takes a lot of work to find the
Internet in
Portland at 730 on a
Saturday night. I lugged my
over sized laptop to the only coffee shop on the east end i could find, right as i handed the girl 3$ for a cup of tea that was supposed to be my ticket to sit down and use their
Internet. "we are closing in five minutes, sorry!" long story short, after a walk back to my car and then a
hectic time finding parking I have found my corner in
Starbucks with the cost of another 3$ for the cost of
Internet.
I guess
I'm desperate since I
haven't been home in almost a week. I have been
house sitting for a friend with Josh and her
apartment is
Internet free! which is
totally fine until i start wondering how big my inbox is.
anyway I really enjoy living on the Eastern Promenade. Its just wonderful.. really. I can lay in bed at night and fall asleep to the sound of boat horns and seagulls in the distance. I walk EVERYWHERE (with the
exception of tonight because my laptop left a mark on my shoulder from the last walk this afternoon)
Today was one of those sparkling days. the water sparkles, the pavement sparkles, and so does all the people walking by when they smile and say, "hello! beautiful day!!" the View down at the Promenade is so vast and open it almost
doesn't seem real. the fort sitting in the middle between the port and the islands looks awkward and dated but its one of the only things that gives
Portland its beauty and character. I like places
Rich with history like Italy, and Portland Maine has... not nearly enough history but at least it has some beautiful scenery.
I didn't go with josh up to
Orono and i kind of wish i had. I can say i love being alone with plump (the cat) she likes me now, she lets me pet her! you just have to get to know how she likes being treated (like any woman does of course! ) I love hanging out with myself. its never lonely. i realized that josh or no josh
I'm never alone. even if i were in a deep forest all by myself, there would be the trees. i know this sounds
sooo utterly crunchy but in the past 2 days i have had a super
hippy revelation.
peace love and joy
may everyone find the most magnificent beauty that they hold in themselves.
