Tonight I saw another owl

and i was reminded of the last owl I encountered, o elusive one. That happened on the Friday night of the first annual Flatland Film Festival at the close of the box office and confession stand aspect of the evening. o wait i meant cincession no concession (stand) this was not the same owl as usual and not in the same part of town. The usual one, a barn owl, - she flies over my house every so often. anyway, the owl at the film festival was fairly dark and had significantly larger, but as silent, wings.

owls intrigue me. and have since I can remember. This one, as the others have done previously, seemed to pause a few beats to, I could almost say, acknowledge me.

yeah, I know, delusions of acknowledgement issues. But I digress..........

it is kinda cool actually to see this...and it especially affected me that night, as owls symbolize a knowing. I had just completed thinking a thought, as I watched the lightning streak against the night sky, ( a storm was moving in) - we’d all just finished smoking cigarettes, leaning against the !metal! railing. (brilliant action in an electrical storm!)

Just then, through the street lights just facing us, I suddenly saw a form that appeared to 'pause' in the soft blare of the lights. anyhow. and right as I saw the owl, my thought had formed a yes, and the owl just seemed to concur. in a crazy kinda totem animal way.

o and I had this thought too....earlier that day.....I must continue mith my creative outlet through appreciation. how cool is that? Appreciators of the world, Let Us Unite! anyway.........that's it for tonight, you, and just fyi I feel like I could rip open my chest and hand out an organ. but I'll just say thanks for reading. and letting me ramble.
