I would like to thank Mina for sharing her majical hearts texture.
sent to a friend who was having minor surgery today.
I so love this quote...
and
thanks everyone for your thoughts regarding the missing rooster...
and he's alive - but barely so...
we have a tall heavy carboard-like can on the front porch that we keep the wild bird seed in. the lid doesn't clamp down just sits on top.
apparently he was trying to get to the windowsil to roost - which he's not supposed to be roosting there.
he must of got up on that lid - and the lid gave way and he went down inside, the lid went back into place on the container.
I have no idea why didn't he make any noises the next day ... or two... or three...
six days in the can. (sounds like a country song)
when I first saw him - I assumed he was dead and got a rag towel and threw him into the yard, thinking - I've got to dig a grave.
and then he moved... !!!
he's very rough looking.
I put a pan of water in front of him and he drank non stop for a long time.
still a question as to whether or not he'll make it.
I'm not celebrating yet...
I put him in a big wire cage with hay and water - I had him in the sun to help with the shivering, definately in shock - drinking and eating thank goodness.
he is spending the night on the (closed in) back porch, covered up in his cage.
so send a little chicken love his way please...
PLEASE - no glittery seizure-like graphics, or multi invites, thx

The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.
~Anaïs Nin
A storm rages on the page, emotions pour out like gasoline on fire. Up up it burns, ablaze with a fervor unparalled.
I take the page and crumple it into a ball. No one shall be privy to this deluge. I'm far too shy and too awkward to share this cascade of mine.
A seed goes unsown.

Anais Nin.
I'm going to another funeral tomorrow, the second (and hopefully last) one this year.
My best friend Vicky's aunt died last Saturday, they were very close and I'm just hoping she'll be ok. She's had a tough couple of years and it's so unfair because she is the kindest, most thoughtful and generous person I've ever met, yet all this horrible stuff keeps happening to her!?
On a lighter note she's getting married next year and I just can't wait to see her on her big day and be her maid of honour!!
So this is for Auntie Hilda and Vicky xx

This is a thank you note from the translator of the book above, House of Incest by Anaïs Nin. I helped with proof reading and LOTS of opinions on interpretations. You may not know this about me, but I've read Anaïs Nin's work continuously since I was 16. That means I can't even tell you how many times I've read her books, because I've read them every year during half of my life, and more than once a year. I've read her diaries like pious people read the Bible, they've been on my night stand permanently. I wrote my Bachelor thesis about her diaries, and it took me ages to finish it, because I was just too.. star struck by her, perhaps.
So, when an acquaintance decided to translate House of Incest into Swedish (which hasn't been translated before) she asked me to offer opinions and read it through. They couldn't pay me for it, because it's a very small publishing house and they will probably not sell many copies, but to me it was definitely a matter of the heart, not the money.
The note says "a thousand, literally a thousand, thanks for all your help with the translation", that a LOT of things happened to the text from my reading and notes, and she wants me to know I have a big part in the final outcome, and hope it will show and that it will be, well, true perhaps, to Anaïs Nin. I hope so too!
It was a nice gift and it made me happy all day. I think we all did a pretty good job with it.
(If you'd like to read something by Anaïs Nin, I highly recommend the diary, volume 1, 1931-1934. It's not so much a "diary" as it is a kind of poetry of the subconscious, but it's still quite accessible.)

The quote is just to remind myself that while change and doing things differently can be painful, lethargy and ennui can hurt just as much.
Took a trip to Crosswinds Marsh with Carol this Sunday because I felt the need to get out and shoot something and so I could say I didn't spend the entire day being a sloth. It's a lovely place but so many mosquitos.
