rivervoxI walked at Leverett this morning listening to Sandman. I park in the middle now, and do a sort of figure 8 so that I'm never too far from the car. Violet has all day rehearsal and a party tonight. Then a party tomorrow in the afternoon. And lots of homework. But she's in good spirits. I'm looking at a long day and night of waiting. Need to keep busy. We've got show week ahead, so that will be chaotic. And Hallowe'en! But just one breath at a time. Maintaining the teenage dream.
Yesterday, I did painting with a group from work. Very challenging and stressful. I will either finish it and then throw it out or just throw it out. I tried! I think it was just hard trying to keep up and not understanding what I was doing with tools or materials. I think I could do some art at my own speed, but that was not relaxing. Still, I'm glad I tried it.
Quite a week, actually, with my trip to the office, birthday and flu shot. Time surges on.
“I like the stars. It's the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they're always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend...I can pretend that things last. I can pretend that lives last longer than moments. Gods come, and gods go. Mortals flicker and flash and fade. Worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. But I can pretend...” Destruction, Brief Lives, Sandman
