some art:

some tunes: here

some notes:
~ i want to live on a cliff too. and have a wooden gate made out of twigs.
~ i have more papercuts now than i’ve had since i was a kid. the hurt lingers more than i remember, especially on the palm.
~ my ever-patient capacity for feeling sorry for myself far outstrips what anyone could feel for me in that regard. sometimes i think that’s horrible, other times i’m just relieved.
~ brian wilson was right about rooms.
~ music and showers are the only things that always cheer me up.
~ i have a new-found love for foxes. real ones, not cartoon ones.
~ i told my three-year-old nephew the other day that that this year is going to be the year he learns to share. he shouted back “no!” – i feel the same way about my lesson for the year, which is consistency – not in the arts sense so much as a day-to-day regularity, time management, longterm plans fulfillment, etc.

off to vacuum and blast music in an attempt to not pace or space out.

I love foxes, too. Maybe it’s because I love the book Le Petit Prince, who knows, but it always upsets me when I hear of fox hunting.

Thanks for sharing with us the hermit art (I love it!) and the Duran Duran. I’ll say a prayer for you tomorrow— :)

But until then, I’ve put a link on my blog today (dedicated to you!) and I hope it cheers you up as you vacuum away, perhaps while doing a Kitty Kat Dance of your own—

sigh. Save a Prayer. ahh the memories. I was such a Duranie when I was younger :)

Hey! I got your wonderful calendar/card and it really made my week. It’s beautiful.

Like Francesca, I think of the Little Prince when I think of foxes:

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

hey, i’m sorry things are grey. sending you supportive mojo and hugs.

i find it really hard to “get things done” when i’m not feeling good about life or myself. feeling sorry for youself is probably a sign that things aren’t quite right at the moment rather than any deficit in who you are and how you feel. maybe it’s time for a little quiet treat of an outing, where you can be alone with yourself to organize what’s bothering you? be hard on what’s happening, not on yourself, ok?

(did you meet a fox?!)

love, MG

Thanks for the Duran Duran! I needed that today.
