Missed you.. but now I'm going out out out to party with a friend. I got my rejection letter yesterday. My first, so I need consolation. You all must be sweet to me, and feed me and pour me wine, and tell me that that agent will live to rue the day she didn't recognize my genius. But right now, I am leaving to see Titanic- the musical, not the movie. Do you think it will be like a Disney special effects show? Will the seats rock, and spray blow in our faces? Woulnd't that be cool?

<The sight of the trees will stun you.> When I was in Muir Forest, I almost think it was the light...the temperature...and the lack of sound... that stunned me. The forest was illuminated with a golden-green filtered light that made the bark of the trees seem like a soft, rich, brown velvet... The temperature was cool and the air was fresh....smell of wood, bark, ...rich forest humus... And then there was the sound, or more accurately, the "lack of sound" when you entered the forest. You can barely hear your own words when you speak... the sound absorption is remarkable. When you walk towards a group of people, you see their mouths moving, but you don't hear them until the last moment before you reach them... the trees dominate sight, sound, smell, light... There's a big tree laying on its side there... stretching far up a slope. You can stand beside its great trunk and feel diminished... look into its rings and "touch" the many centuries that have passed. The sign beside it tells you about the day that the tree fell... The "cracking" before it fell went on for... I think it was 3 hours... and when it fell, the sound could be heard for miles... Glad you made me remember the forest...
