i experienced my first earthquake yesterday.
i didn't feel anything, though. i was sleeping. (though i did wake up in the middle of the night with the cat sleeping on my head.) in fact, i didn't even know an earthquake occurred until my brother emailed me from texas.
but there was one in washington and i was in washington and even though it was far away from where i live i'm sure the earth shook just a little bit underneath me. it had to have been at least a 0.1 in pullman. well, maybe it wasn't, but it is still very very scary waking up and getting an email that tells you there has been an earthquake in your state.
very scary.

about me
Just sitting here, wandering around. Peeking out from time to time. Wondering what's on the other side of the hill.
Me and my dog. Me and my running shoes.
I'll drink the drink and eat the food and rub my hands in the dirt. I'll do handstands in the snow. Laughing and dancing with a straight face.

about wording why
Wording Why is a word workstation of sorts, a space to create vivid snapshots, to tinker with sentences and sounds and pacing, to take things I've experienced (big or small, real or imagined) and paint them into something new.
In the beginning, elements of truth outweighed fiction, but that trend has reversed over the years. Although many posts still contain elements of truth, this should not be confused with a journal or personal nonfiction.

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
