Weekend snapshots
Posted on | May 18, 2008 |
(Bean took this one.)
The world has turned green. Less than a month left of school. The morning sun is waking me up, and I’ve been heading out to run more. Still not feeling totally in harmony with myself yet: still too much on my plate. But more days and more moments where the the orbit of things aligns with my own twirling self.
(Btw: The Cure was a wild, loud adventure that included getting lost when leaving Montreal–4o miles east, before we realized we were supposed to be going south. Oy. And the next day was a blur of tiredness.)
I am hoping to update here every day this week. I have a thing with perfection. I don’t like writing here unless I have long moments to spend, delving into the deeper fabric of my thoughts. But I miss the daily practice. The flawed jotting of notes, of small moments, of daily life. When I first wrote here, I wrote all the time… but somehow I seem to have upped the standard on myself, and now I’m dragging my feet, feeling like if I can’t post a brilliant post, I should’nt post anything at all. What is with that?

You look gorgeous.
I hate posting and writing unless it feels perfect too. I have been trying to write a book proper, for ages. But I keep thinking about whether it would sell if ever published. So it continues to remain unwritten. I guess I have a thing with perfection too.

Twelve student contact days, once this one is over. And a half day for staff. And camping up north right after. And an MFA beginning in the autumn. Not that I’m anxious or anything.
I look forward to reading every day. Enjoy the green, the impending summer!

Spring has sprung! Your corner of the world looks similar to mine at the moment. And I understand a bit too well about perfection…but keep the posts coming!

Dude, I think on your WORST day, your posts are still awesome. Besides, writing practice makes your writing better. : D

I don’t know what is with that, but MAN, can I ever relate!

I enjoy reading your posts regardless of their content! I get so excited when something new comes up when I click your link in my “favorites” folder.

Yeah, I was going through that, too, and it SUCKS. Doing a photo a day thing helped a great bit. It made me take out the camera for something else besides cute baby shots.
Hooray! I shall look forward to daily stuff from you, yumminess indeed.
