honey in the sun

i found one i found one!  i went to divoká šárka, again like yesterday, and sitting on the very top of the cliff, i noticed one of my yellow fields on a hill far far ahead.  i thought, i have all day, and set off in what was approximately the right direction, since when i got down i could no longer see it.  i walked through fields and hills and streets, and just when i came out onto a road and was about to give up, i noticed a sliver of yellow to my right.  i turned into a small pathway, and came out into this giant sea of yellow.  from the center of it, i could see the hill i was sitting on when i spotted it.  one, two, three, four... despite all letdowns, i am lucky like a four leaf clover.

curiouser and curiouser!

"in a place far away from anyone or anywhere, i drifted off for a moment."  i took the tram to divoká šárka again, and climbed as high as i could this time, where i found a comfortable rock like a throne and sat quite still for i don't know how long.  then i walked the 8 km (5 miles) home through the picturesque dejvice district, with the sun behind me and listening only to the most cheerful camera obscura songs.

at five o'clock this morning, i was in letna park, wondering what kind of dimension i have entered, as the two extremely magical czechs that i was there with were pirouetting around barefoot on the grass and waving their arms in the most perfect illustration of the word "frolicking" that i have ever seen.  then one of them climbed a tree and could not get down for the longest time.  when he finally did, he grew very attached to a large metal pole and refused to let go of it, while the other was trying to convince me of the virtues of walking around barefoot on cold, wet, dewy grass;  his ancestors did it, he said, and i should too.

i finally went to explore my neighborhood, bubeneč, and found this very, very large and dismally beautiful park behind the street where i live.  there are many hidden places and twisty trees, and mysterious mansions visible on hilltops.
