This song is so awesome: Joan Armatrading Love And Affection lyrics I am not in love But I’m open to persuasion East or West Where’s the best For romancing ‘With a friend I can smile But with a lover I could hold my head back I could really laugh Really laugh Thank you You took me dancing ‘Cross the floor Cheek to cheek But with a lover I could really move Really move I could…
Yesterday was the festivity for slaughtering goats and all the Turks were out in their fineries – even the belly dancers – as we gathered to eat kebabs – dance – and celebrate. I’ve been adopted by these people and feel so at one with them. B & F were on their way to Amsterdam this morning, and the pull to throw care to the wind and join them was immense. They head to Istanbul…
Headed to a Turkish party tonight to eat delicious food, dance with my hands in the air, and see lovely people.
Loca is moving her lips across the bottom of the big windows trying to catch the rain drops.
The sky opened up early morning in New Orleans and the deluge began – bringing with it cats and dogs, memories that make your blood run cold, thoughts that make the blood steam up, longings, regret, hunger, satiety, remorse, wisdom, pain and joy. Proust had a madeline – I have rain but can’t get in bed and write the stream like he did so I settle for short blog entries – call it a new world.
My reformer partner cancelled at the last minute and so I decided on this amazingly beautiful day to take Loca out for a long walk through City Park instead. We ran through the grass, we kicked up the leaves, we jogged and walked and strolled and strutted and finally when we got home, I opened the door and she dashed in and jumped on Arlene’s head.For the dog that never sleeps, there must be some…
I have so many interesting and loving people in my life – not just now but through the ages – people who I should not have come to know so intimately given why we know each other – take my accountant – in a conversation over taxes and whatnot – he writes me this: < on the flip side, some people go thru life as a dependant not a provider. these people are the “baby-sitted”…and become…
Had a heart to heart with a good friend last night who has been involved with a married man, one who has three kids. He tells her he wants to leave his wife but he is not doing it. I shared with her a story about a man and a woman who were so deeply in love the sun shone on them and them alone, as bright as a fiery planet or universe or galaxy,…
Headed to Swirl last night much to my stomach’s chagrin but wanted to catch up with F and B before they left for Turkey and D who was headed back to El Lay and see G who I hadn’t seen in a while, but of course, the first person I do see coming out of the store is the one person I’m in high avoidance of and of course, there’s the every time I think…
I was in Terranova’s the other day and standing by the vegetable bin and a delivery guy was walking out the door and he said, “Yeah you right boo, have a good one.” And I smiled.Today in an impossibly busy day I hear the vegetable truck going down the street – the guy shouting through his megaphone “I got mirltons, I got squash, I got tomatoes, I got lettuce.”Sounds of home – ain’t nothing like…
