i was just taking a bath with one of those perfume bubbles that dissolve in the water. you can note how pathetic i am because watching them dissipate is one of my favorite things to do. i just really enjoy looking at them slowly start to fall apart, call me a cynic if you must. i was moving around, trying to get comfortable and creating waves for the bubble to float atop. then i started thinking about what creates a wave...what if we lived in a world that had created these wonderful perfume bubbles, but had no idea how waves were made. At first i smiled because the thought seemed a little ludicris, but then the smile faded...we do live in that kind of a world. we've painted the mona lisa, built buildings that jet out into the sky, hell some of us even claim to have mastered love. but a germ, a tiny invisible particle can kill us. We can make the pretty but we can't explain the basic. we don't really know what the root of the matter is so we create distractions.

i don't know. i'm rambling.
