It became in that instant a palace.
Now, all I'm doing is going to buy some cigarettes, but suddenly it's all very magical and beautiful and I'm wearing a giant smile on my face. I no longer feel the rain or the wind blowing. And, of course, there's a story somewhere in amongst all this magic.  |
heh. once someone was describing me to someone else and said "she hasn't lost her sense of wonder".
i'm not sure whether this was intended as a compliment or not but that's how i take it. i love to be amazed at little details i see when i'm out in the city that other people might not notice. i used to say that i don't need to take drugs ; i already experience everything with so much intesity.
