SUNDAY AT HOME

Dreamed I broke my glasses. I hadn't.

Metaphors come to mind.

Morning

Looking East

A whole bag of Avocado went South.
Brown before their time.
Last time I buy non-organic, though I said that last time.

Afternoon

Looking Up

"Tens of thousands of people, some covered in Israeli flags and others singing Hebrew songs, poured into Lower Manhattan on Sunday in a show of solidarity for New York’s Jewish community in the wake of a spate of anti-Semitic attacks in the region in the last month."

A Modern Declaration
by Edna St. Vincent Millay
(shamelessly deleted format)

"I, having loved ever since I was a child a few things, never having wavered In these affections; never through shyness in the houses of the rich or in the presence of clergymen having denied these loves; Never when worked upon by cynics like chiropractors having grunted or clicked a vertebra to the discredit of these loves; Never when anxious to land a job having diminished them by a conniving smile; or when befuddled by drink Jeered at them through heartache or lazily fondled the fingers of their alert enemies; declare That I shall love you always. No matter what party is in power; No matter what temporarily expedient combination of allied interests wins the war; Shall love you always."

QUITTING and NOT

Blogging and Posting

This morning I wondered why. The screen's an empty canvas, a lump of clay, a bolt of cloth, a blank page--a creative outlet. And though I'm thinking about possible readers or viewers, I'm doing it for myself essentially, doing it because something wants to manifest. It's the same with photography - Sometimes the picture leads, sometimes the thought leads to a picture, and one thing leads to another so I'm not quitting yet. I'm still entertaining myself.

International, National and Local News

A trio guaranteed to bring you down even when the sun shines, so I'm retiring from the 'need-to-know' syndrome and quitting my daily plunge into the abyss.

However, I don't believe "we get what we deserve" - we get what we get for reasons we can only speculate about...blame the roads taken and chance. As to the current political moment; no one deserves it,
not even 'Godzilla'

GOING ON
"Exercise is good for people, as everyone knows. But scientists have surprisingly little understanding of its cellular impacts and how those might vary by activity and the age of the exerciser."

OCCUPY

MIND

I thought I was dreaming. But it was only news of the day rattling around in my semi-conscious trying to make sense of current chaos.
It woke me.

BODY

Occupied with coming and going,
going nowhere doing something.

PLACE
The round table I occupy - where I work, eat, write and play with art supplies

"OCCUPY"
by Appalachia Rising
"Soon I will be done with the troubles (repeat, the repeated as harmony) Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world, with the troubles of the world, the troubles of the world. Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world... Gonna occupy my mind, No more weeping and a-wailing, no more seeking salvation, no more weeping and a-wailing... Gonna occupy my mind. No more weeping and a-wailing, no more big bank bailing, no more weeping and a-wailing... Gonna occupy my mind. Occupy Appalachia and occupy the bayou, Occupy your sound waves cos we will not be lied to, Occupy your bank account and occupy your healthcare, Occupy your garden cos oh my dear you best beware, Occupy your mother tongue and occupy your neighborhood, Occupy reality, delivered up the best you could, Occupy your homelands, occupy your public schools, Occupy the pen and ink, occupy the law and rule Occupy Wall Street, occupy your corner store, Occupy the sound waves, occupy your front door, Occupy Wall Street, occupy your basic rights, Occupy the front lines and when it's time step up to fight, Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world, with the troubles of the world, the troubles of the world. Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world... Gonna occupy my mind, No more weeping and a-wailing, no more seeking salvation, no more weeping and a-wailing... Gonna occupy my mind. No more weeping and a-wailing, no more big bank bailing, no more weeping and a-wailing. Gonna occupy my mind. Soon I will be done with the troubles."
