The office corner in my studio apartment. A few of you have had lunch at my desk. It's where I spend most of my time these days. I like keeping the blinds up past dusk in the winter. A couple of flickering votive candles make it cozy at that time of day. I need to get an amaryllis for a bit of green. The cat likes to flop in the middle of everything. My laptop is his arch-nemesis. *** Do you ever take on too many things? I have two creative projects wanting time and attention. You know about one. The other is a delicious secret that may never see the light of day. Creating with little distraction is all I need now. So I made a decision. Over the coming months, 'today' will be sporadic. I'll check in if I have stuff to say. *** I finished reading Orwell's Roses by Rebecca Solnit. If you have a smart reader on your holiday gift list, it's a delight. It speaks to the troubles in our world in surprising and reassuring ways. The essay "As the Rose-Hip to the Rose" is gorgeous. *** If you want to see something that will have you thinking (and chuckling), go see, The Banshees of Inisherin. It is rich. There's so much in it. I could talk your feckin' ear off about it for an hour. *** When Eric Burton says, "the acoustics," he shares our wonder at the sound of his voice alive in a gorgeous space. 2022Comments are closed.
