POEM for anxiety - The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry
When despair grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting for their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
Wendell Berry

MEALS Josephine - Home cooked meals in the East Bay
I remember when I was little and hanging out in Taiwan with my grandpa, he took me to play tennis. We played, and I tired out with side cramps pretty quickly. After that, he drove me on his motor scooter and we stopped at someone's apartment. It was someone's kitchen, and everyone was familiar. We ate rice noodles and it was a nice place, like a friend's house. My grandpa paid and we left.
On Friday, I'll be doing the same thing, but in the present day through this Josephine website. I don't know why it's a person's name, but what ever. I'm looking forward to having a special meal that I didn't cook, and for once not eating grad school food truck caffeine food. While supporting my friend and my stomach soul of course.

COLLAGE of childhood and cities
Did this set for class with my parallel studio partner for // actions x // places in reference to schools, cities, learning, and play. Looking back, I'm grateful to have had all of that and I still do, thanks to good parents and good fortune.

BOOK East of Eden by John Steinbeck (1952)
Reluctantly, I came to the last page of the book this morning. It seems as though it's taken just about 55 years to read, in a good way. There are too many good quotes to quote, so I won't because I don't have to. Is that the point?
