Flirting with Summer
I know it has been quiet here, the summer extending over our lives, full of long hours, day lights, humidity,heat, and mostly fun. It would have been better, if we only could let go of the twenty four hours News Channels, and went on News Fasting. Life is cruel out there in the world, people are killed and blown up unxpectedly while moving within daily destinations, evil rules, and idealogs are still dictating their misguided will on the rest of us.
I have swam a bit more in our pool, and spent a day on the water with people who love me and care for me, I have watched my kids and their cousins, fleshing out within their frames, changing, growing, Kiana still amases me with the depth of her knowing, and the exuberant promise of her young life. Amin cradles me in his innocence and his wide eyed reaction to everything that is happening within his peubesnt thoughts and bones. Marjan kisses me more these days, and sustains me more with her love, and her amazing ability of navigating our lives to safer harbors. My hair is longer now, I look like an unkempt bed, scaruffy, and aloof. as I stand in my station and observe all I can, taking it in, within the reality of my days and the ever present emergence of my day dreams. Summer is so boundless in its vast extention of its hours and offers such unknown expectations to me. It is easier for me to curl within the solitary allowance of Fall or hybernation of winter, but I know in time I will find my summers and bask in its warmth and expectations with my lovelies.
The book is going in full blast, Dr, B's encouragement has made me feel more confident in my flights of fancy. My characters still surprise me with the lives they live and dictate to me as I pry further within their realm. It is funny, how they have become parts of my life and how I do feel so very much for them. But the writing has been so fulfilling for me, that I already have in my mind the next projects after this one finishes( Dr B thinks that is the sign of a true writer). I am so taken by Malcolm's innocence, Sophie's defiance, Brians zest for life and Sara's dominance within the story, all damaged , all trying to make sense of the lives they have been offered and its allowances.
I have enjoyed movies this summer, Batman is a wonderfully well made movie, I laughed my heart out at Wedding Crashers, and enjoyed the chemistry of the leads in Mr, and Mrs Smith. The whimzical exuberant of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, and the heights it aspires to in style and acting.
The beer has been good, and the tinge of Vodke sek, still takes me, The liqoures, always tasty, and the food I have been offered at Akram, Farnaz or Julie's house or their boat, heavenly. I am enjoying my little sandwiches of Bread, cheese, tomatoes and Basils. Amin still gives me the best hugs and kisses me on my lips, Kiana takes me with her new choreographies and the ease of her movements when she dances, and going to sleep next to my love Marjan with her face the last image of the day, and again the first every morning, her elegance, her sensebilities, and how she takes care of us all sustains me.
I am so proud of the poem I wrote-- RAPING LONDON--, although I did not get any comments on it by me emotionally impotent readers. But it is written, it is good of the subjets it covers and I do like it very much.
Watching the girls in summer dresses has always been good to me, the bare mid riffs, and bare arms, thighs and legs, beautifull faces,all and all, and as I am aging it becomes more a very important source of many aspirations and day dreams. I am flirting with life as much as I can do and living my life in another summer. LIFE IS GOOD.
