Elevator Music?

Our most profound joy is often experienced during ordinary moments. What was one of your most joyful ordinary moments this year?

Rules and I have a deceptive relationship in that I acknowledge it’s existence superficially but will be sooner or later bound to break them when prompted. So, my most joyful ordinary moments this year (as I begin scratching at the mines of nostalgia) is arriving at the school’s back door with Jess, only to find them locked. And because we’re young, carefree and extremely lazy, walking to the main gates was not an option. However, gauging the fall to the other side, the effort it would take to mount the gate, evaluating whether we would drop into some person’s yard and be caught as trespassers was by far easier than walking.

We dropped out bags over, giggled as we clamoured over the wooden fence. By the time both of us were over the other side, there was this small bubble of joy that can only be brought around by rebellion.

That’s right, we conquered the fence bitch and didn’t get caught by the dog.
