About Me



Layout by CoolChaser Change is comin. Ask me about the persimmon seed. These thoughts started out as a diatribe. But joy de vivre prevailed and its just a bit of a manifesto of the last month with insights of autumninal bliss to come. I replay the shock of witnessing the falconeers in my front yard. East and west it flew, on an invisible tightrope. And yes, they let me slip on a heavy leather glove and feel the majesty of him land on my arm. The next morning I searched for my favorite sweater to shield me from the first cool morning, a mini version of the coat of many colors, cotton hand knitted squares. I reached inside the sweater, worn thin on the elbows and found a movie stub of a dvd I now own, and a grocery receipt of Kraft caramels and green apples. And I’m trying to be a juggernaut with the cookie dough company. I found a mangled ink pen in the dough last week, after I’d eaten some raw and one cooked. But I will fold, and probably except a coupon for 6 months of replacement dough, still hoping ink is not poisonous. And I laugh to myself at the 2 am fiasco in front of George Jones’ mans. A 30 lb. goobler hit our windshield flipped into the backseat, nearly ripping my friend’s earring out. A friend I’d had since kindergarten. And I’m ashamed I’ve left ‘Summer Laboratory’ hanging (my screenplay) it’s odd every word is in my head, so it will come. Because it’s worthy, it will come. Then there's the studio work scheduled for the 29th and 30! Explanation point! This week I will allow myself the customary 3 mistakes, hopefully none being fatal. And will treasure what is really important in life, the human touch, the voice, the journey. And I will let go of everything else, and will let go with abandon. Call me. Hug me. Love me. Did I tell you what I found in the picture frame from the flea market? And then there's that issue of insomnia...damnit.I'M LISTENING 2: JOANNA NEWSOM, THE ANNUALS, THE JOMPSON BROS, ROGER MILLER, THE DECEMBERISTS, MARTHA WAINWRIGHT, KINGS OF LEON, MIRANDA LAMBERT, JULIANNE HOUGH, PEGGY LEE...YEA-AHHHH!
