August 2::Monday
Posted on | August 2, 2010 | 8 Comments
Today: crushing on Leonard. (Really, it’s a forever crush.) Makes me want to re-read Cities of the Interior. For some reason the two always go together in my head.
Today: a storm came crashing through; rain so hard the sills were wet in seconds. Thunder above the maples; sky the color of whipped wet ash. I always feel giddy in storms: equal parts anxious and delighted. After, the air was cool and the sky such a beautiful blue. Already evening comes sooner. Summer’s ending.
Today: my very dearest friend in the whole world just booked a flight out to see me. This week. I am over the moon.
Today in no particular order: the best piece of writing on the web right now; the sweetest peach of summer; these photos; and this quote (from here):
Z is for Zoometry: Originally a term from zoology (pronounced zo-ology, in case you were curious), zoometry is the science of instigating and learning from change. This is the revolution of our time, the biggest one in history, and it’s not just about silly videos on Youtube. One by one, industry by industry, the world is being remade again and again, and the agents of change are the winners.

Kristine, that is SUCH a huge complement! And Meg, yes, Sarah Gilbert is an astounding writer. Her husband recently was deployed…

Slightly off topic, but every single time I eat a peach (every single time) I think of you. It’s because you had a recipe on here for a peach grunt that we made at my mother’s house, and I loved it. Simple and delicious. And now every time I eat a peach I remember that peach grunt and think about how I should take the time to make it again when the peaches are getting old.

Oh! Thank you so much for the Leonard link. I am listening to it as I type…
He was my nightly lullaby when I was pregnant with our son Jac….the BEST voice to drift off to sleep to.
More recently, I was curled up in my favourite chair reading his ‘Book of Longing’ poems whilst listening to ‘Dear Heather’…..a Leonard synergy :~)
He just makes me feel that anything is possible. I have no idea how he does that, but I am grateful. Blessed be.

Hi Marlon Roucoulet here. Have you ever thought about creating an ebook or guest authoring on other sites? I have a blog based on the same information you discuss at http://www.mytopography.com/2010/08/02/august-2monday and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my subscribers would appreciate your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e mail.
