December 5
Wednesday
It’s
difficult to keep track of time here. Soft
and pink blue streaks begin the day. I
wake at 3 pm have very vivid dream about doing research in British art for
gallery; I think it was Lindsay Shen? It
takes an hour to get organized. More
than that…it is 90 minutes this morning.
Now the dawn is here in earnest; it is 6:30 AM. The minute hand of the clock keeps sweeping
away. Listening to KUSC from dawn to dusk.
Looked at
Harpers. Found essay by Chas Bernstein
on Jews, and they have a new one by writer at Princeton, on Christmas. I can subscribe and have on line access…for
$15.00 I still have not sorted out New
Yorker and NYT subscriptions…?? Digital
is a lot of work! Set up Macedonia
chapter and read through two notebooks; found some sequences. Only worked for an hour.
Trumpet
solo is favorite of Chas Bukowski Did
my yoga, and it was beneficial this morning. Felt good. Collected firewood. Hung the wash. Walked up and down the mesa. Keeping company
with a hawk, which rose about five feet from me on the walk up the hill this
morning…beautiful golden color and lovely gliding motion in the air.
Listening
to “ Three Botticelli pictures” by
Respighi?
“Having one
or two or three people in love with you is money in the bank”. Jenny Holzer. I went through 2005 Journal. Saw Josie for her birthday luncheon on April
3; Goeff’s birthday was March 14. “The more you know, the less you
need – but that is not true at all for
thirst, water or rain.” For Joseph Brodsky. Saw at the Met ,“Matisse and Textiles”, a
wonderful exhibition.
Filed
complaint again, about the shooters, and their automatic weapons and non stop shooting. The sheriff finally came and talked to Jill. She offered
them a cabin so they could see how much the guns bothered the resident artists; fortunately
they got an example while they were here. They visited the shooters and stopped
them…let’s hope for a good outcome.
Took my
walk up the hill; uneventful. Grasses are fading. Light is fading. Took walk downhill. Have to keep going….
Returned. Bunnies came. Fell
asleep and woke at 2:00 AM. Common occurrence.
Had had
delicious salmon, couscous Asian sweet potato, and chard for dinner…with 2
glasses of St. Michelle Sauvignon. As Mariel Hemingway says,
Food enhances life; do not substitute food or drink for what you are missing…enjoy it
for its health benefits, pleasures and good taste in itself. Think about how you feel about your food as
you eat. Enjoy it. Be nourished by it.
