today is tomorrow

“There are two kinds of light – the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.”

—James Thurber

let's say, all is quiet on the eastern front. it is quiet outside. the windows are closed though. perhaps not as quiet as i think. the eastern front, as i now call our neighborhood, is loud and brassy. dogs bark, insects peep, cars rumble and trees sway. but right now, i hear the overhead fan spinning. i hear skeeter sighing every once in awhile which makes me smile. and yet, i don't want the quiet and i do. 

i think tomorrow it will be the same. yes and no. back and forth. let's just say, all is quiet until it's not.
