Now that I’m feeling better, a miscellany
Currently listening to SomaFM: Mission Control. Very soothing and abstract. This morning I hit the snooze so many times that it finally resulted in a portion of a dream in which I was trying to organize some clothes into a wardrobe in my dorm room, while also wondering why the hell its previous occupant had… Continue reading Now that I’m feeling better, a miscellany
The New Year
I am suddenly so sad today. It's that vague but crushing sadness of the New Year; a Sunday sadness that knows your real name and pulls without words, but remorselessly, and with a precision that feels like Love.

It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes… Continue reading Happiness and Doing

Those balmy 53ºf days? Gone.
Sneak peeks of the latest drypoint print on the rack, "A Winter find" December has reclaimed winter– what November seemed ill-inclined to do, with its many mild days. So the latest work of engraving in plastic arrives in time to herald the coming of snow. When dried and pressed flat, these will be finished off… Continue reading Those balmy 53ºf days? Gone.
