“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions.” –Rilke

A house in the South Wedge, Rochester, NY
A solitary child on a swing in the playground across the street; 46 degrees F, even on a sunny afternoon, seems to've stunted the population there. I find myself in need of some creative (personal) project; wishing I'd thought in time to begin a calendar for 2012– the armageddon calendar. I've given thought to a… Continue reading
Airy. empty, open
Reading poems from Sweden on the train the in early dark. My umbrella on the seat beside me– orphaned at the transfer.

Now to… Continue reading Airy. empty, open
Mid-way in darkness
Today is time to reach 25k in the word count– midway through the month of November. It's dark inside today; the darkness of winter has fallen.

My word count stands, currently, at 1,899-- a whopping 232… Continue reading National Novel Writing Month has begun!
The irresistible tide of dreams
It is time to obtain a coffee-maker equipped with the ingenious ability to be set up and programmed before sleep, as, with the arrival of autumn, dreams have returned, en masse. Little matter what time I go to bed (nor how much or little I may read before actually going to sleep)– in the morning,… Continue reading The irresistible tide of dreams

The bear-old urge to hibernate returns with the autumnal equinox
The problem with having a comfortable bed with cozy bedclothes and a good pillow, tucked away in a nook that gets only residual light from the front room, is that even when you go to sleep early, leaving plenty of time for a full eight hours– you still want hit snooze and go back to… Continue reading The bear-old urge to hibernate returns with the autumnal equinox
