Dena Dena bo-bena, ocarina ballerina...

My friend Dena finally got a blog. We don't keep in touch as much as we used to, but I still feel like she's a kindred spirit. These Alanis lyrics remind me of our friendship:

you and i we're like four year olds

we want to know why and how come about everything

we want to reveal ourselves at will and speak out minds

and never talk small and be intuitive

and question mightily

and find god

my tortured beacon we need to find like-minded companions

(Alanis Morissette, "Joining You")
