Coming of Age in the Aquarian

meandering through prominances

Journal Entry Date: 1 Oct 2004

Thought for the Day:
I allow myself eddies of meaning:
yield to a direction of significance
running
like a stream through the geography of my work:
you can find
in my sayings
swerves of action
like the inlet's cutting edge:
there are dunes of motion,
organizations of grass, white sandy paths of remembrance
in the overall wandering of mirroring mind:
but Overall is beyond me: is the sum of these events
I cannot draw, the ledger I cannot keep, the accounting
beyond the account:

--A.R. Ammons, Corsons Inlet
(THE SELECTED POEMS, Expanded Edition, pp.43-44)

Brought to eye/mind today:
>>A woman knitting in a public place -- always reminds me of
the quillotine (A TALE OF TWO CITIES)
>>Angular, square lines changing to curvilinear lines meandering through prominances

Thank you, Lord, for waking me in time for work today and keeping me from harm.

Journal:

• Overslept this morning, no alarm sounded but woke in time to get to work on time. Time, time, time.


• First Friday today and finally some interesting artists--the art scene has been pretty flat and barren the last few months. Especially liked Molly Quinn's work with small pasta, eggshells, mung beans and resin.


• At the International Gallery of Contemporary Art encounterd an narrow, whitewashed hallway that felt constricted. It would be a good background in a painting.


• Doreen and I went to the Museum after completing our rounds for a glass of wine. She knitted and I looked around. Linda joined us later.


• On the way home I nearly rear-ended a little white car at the roundabout.
