LA PUISSANCE de MAI

i can't believe how great this just past month of May was. i'm so sad to see it recede into history. 
pretty much every single day was so great and sunny and joyful. so many bright hot new york days to work in; and afterward, so many warm fuzzy-sunset brooklyn evenings to hang out and drink wine with everybody in.  so many funny lunches with fellow scenics, out on strange locations, like a flock of birds landing en masse wherever, lolling exhausted & overworked on yonkers sidewalks, spring beaches or young grass.  so many blue-green algae shots from 3 Roots and so much of the 'joy molecule' that is increased by it. such a good time and such a great road trip, down to baltimore from brooklyn with beth, to read my writing at red emma. so stoked to recline on the lawn whilst back in PA on weekends, just zoning out and staring up at the sky. so many hours spent without shoes on my feet.
and so many end-of-season good vibes & good byes in brooklyn and manhattan....

and then on the second last day of May, during our sweet party on the lawn in stony run, to commemorate the month and hang out with my Knick season 2 scenics one last time, we went up the hill to see the sun trade places with its lover the moon over the Pinnacle, Pulpit Rock, Sharp's Ridge and Little Roundtop, the sacre geographie of PA landscape.
that was the perfect capper to such a majestic month.
(oh and the month started off in correct style on may's eve with that film May Morning on fandor.)
man,  the whole month of May, almost zero rain or clouds, just good vibes and good times with such good people. 
i felt almost crazy and powered up with joy every day.
every day i was thinking of writing poems again, and constantly day dreaming... 
 i want every month to feel like May. because maybe after this, perhaps for me and me alone, May '15 is the new Mai '68.
i'm so bummed out to see May go, but i'm so glad to begin June Eternal as well. 

life is the only thing worth living for
    (i know its got its ups and downs)...
