Hot air balloon rides over San Diego? That makes me very jealous. I love the sensation of flying, and the silence (actually, the sibilant hissing of the flame that gives the balloon its lift) must be amazing. That's something I want to do, and soon.

I didn't know the 10th is Emily Dickenson's birthday! Actually I never took to her halting rhythms, they always seemed rather awkward to me.

I studied poetry in Spanish while in college, and because I know you'll understand this in the language it was written, I'll share a poem by one of my favorite poets: the Argentinian surrealist Julio Cortazar.

Ceremonia recurrente

El animal totémico con sus uñas de luz,
los objetos que junta la oscuridad debajo de la cama,
el ritmo misterioso de tu respiración, la sombra
que tu sudor dibuja en el olfato, el día ya inminentemente.
Entonces me enderezo, todavía batido por las aguas del sueño,
Vuelvo de un continente a medias ciego
donde también estabas tú pero eras otra,
y cuando te consulto con la boca y los dedos, recorro el horizonte de tus flancos
(dulcemente te enojas, quieres seguir durmiendo, me dices bruto y tonto,
te debates riendo, no te dejas tomar pero ya es tarde, un fuego
de piel y de azabache, las figuras del sueño)
el animal totémico a los pies de la hoguera
con sus uñas de luz y sus alas de almizcle.

Y después despertamos y es domingo y febrero.
