Online journal capturing the moment and the memory of moments. A meadow meditation. |
It is best to say that I accomplished much this last week and accomplished nothing new. LAST WEEK: read, write, edit, see friends, communicate with friends, eat, wash the dishes, shower, take pills, check blood pressure. NEXT WEEK: read, write, edit, see friends, communicate with friends, eat, wash the dishes, shower, take pills, check blood pressure. As long as I do this I have worked on objectives that lead to goals. My life doesn't divide itself into 5 work days, a party day, a day of "rest". I realize that this is a common Christian-Western-European-American thing. That isn't me. I have two parts of my life: A. Home. B. Travel. The above is what I do when I am home. I "rest" and slog through my life's chores. When I travel: 1. Where am I? 2. Were am I going? 3. Take pictures of everything. 4. Meet people everywhere. 5. Don't miss the plane/train/bus... And of course, try to remember to write and take my pills every day. Sometimes I do. sometimes I don't. I go home to rest. My town in Montana, of course, has its own rhythm: Season of Smoke, Season of Grey Skies, Student Season; Ghost Season; Play Season. Cold Season; Hot Season. They overlap. The Pleasant Season for me personally? March through June and September-October. May is my favorite month. Just about everywhere. So what does this have to do with a simple question about accomplishments? I could answer but it would be a boring answer. And you would learn nothing about me. ACCOMPLISHMENTS: I got to market. I went to the library and continued working on my journal. I finished Acorna 7. I cooked up the chicken and made biscuits. IMAGES: Walking along the river: smell of hard juniper berries; indigo vinca; new red leaves; soft green fronds; last autumn's shriveled berries; scurrying prairies dogs; wet dog fountain; crunch of gravel; lavender shooting-stars; yellowbells; withered grass; blue plastic trash; yellow biscuit root; sound of traffic on the bridge; semi-grey-cloudy day; shadows; last year's dead brown pine needles (long, rough); white phlox; emergent furry arrowleaf balsamroot; worn-out buttercups; dandelion clumps; smell of crushed sage; horn of train; waxy scaly arborvitae; screech of a child; cool breeze off the river. NEW BLOGVILLE: Kwills joined us and I found MCPhedran's in-and-out. I continue to comment as much as I can. POEM? I'll post one later... maybe. 101.527 |
