Thanks for all of your wise counsel in the post below and via e-mail and chat today. I think I made the incident sound a little more dramtic than it was (or else sleeping on things (not literally) really does make them clearer) and this morning, I felt better about it. I also neglected to mention that the party involved was someone whom I'm pretty close to and really care about -- and work with constantly -- so after taking her metaphorical temperature for several hours today, I decided she didn't seem like she was dwelling on it and I shouldn't either. There's nothing else to say, so I'm going to drop it. Possibly a first-ever for me, so we'll see how that goes.
Assisting me with the dropping is a bit of karmic payback that came today in a form I will not even get into at all, but let's just say that I feel like the score has been evened by someone wronging me in a distinctly not-right way. But that also requires no action, and indeed might be worsened by any action on my part, so I am also dropping that. Like it is, as they say, hot.
Thanks, universe! It's funny how I actually am superstitious enough to kind of believe that there is some sort of cosmic scorecard. One of the stories in the Wonder Spot (even better as an audiobook than it is in print, I give it five thumbs up) talks about having a fairy godgod, instead of a fairy godmother, and I am not sure if that's relevant here, but I like it.
Off to Amherst early tomorrow morning and back on Friday night. Hopefully there will be a chance to take some nice photos of something beautiful and show them to you.

You can make a beautiful picture of absolutely anything. The trick is to make it look beautiful through the camera (and your own artistic choices regarding lens length, exposure, luck, etc) instead of waiting for it to grab you with its beauty and merely allow you to record it. Have fun! Woot! Road trip!
