cover your eyes, and walk with me
Me and my movies. I watched sweet hereafter the other day. It's a movie by the Canadian movie maker Atom Agoyan. It's mesmerizing. It just pulls you in and holds you captive. There is a serene quietness to the sceneries and the location which has such a contrast to the severity of the tragedy that has happened there. The acting are flawless and the subject matter of the balance in the world and how we invite tragedies to our live in the way we live, is so very close to me. Probably one of the most quietly harrowing movies I've ever seen.
There's a need in me that doesn't get satisfied by my every day living. I live a good life, much more than I ever asked for and could dream of. Most of you know that. But I need inspirations, I need jolts and directions, I need to be awakened and brought to life, I need to dream, so I can write, so I learn, remember and find a new way of saying it within my own experiences and crooked words. Movies do that to me, new introductions, new experiences do that to me, the colorful horizon at sunset and the magic of simple living in the land I've never been depicted in scatter pictures do that to me, love does that to me...................
I am back to editing my book and have started to enjoy the work more, by changing some of the texts and adding to the story within each chapter, and the process of addition makes my juices going, so you see it's finding the way that is the solution. I eat strawberries in the morning these days, and a lot more fruits. My body likes that, my body is becoming aware of the limitations of aging and it is trying to find a way to get around it. I love Autumn, its the transition that I enjoy and the layers of clothing. Summers are sometimes too bare and vulgar to me, but hey that's me, and as usually everything is exaggerated, and illuminated. So cover your eyes and walk with me.

I guess that is why you live in CT and me in CA. Fall and cold weather I do NOT like. It is not comfortable or healthy to walk naked in cold.
