this is a reminder that *yes* i *really* do want to go to the cemetery directly after work and make eerie sunset blurry photographs. i haven’t been to my own cemetery in so long. it was a halloween ritual for a while. and i will be home in time to pass candy to tricksters *and* walk the neighborhood. who cares if another cold front blew in last night? that will only make it Better! the landscape here is stunning right now though and i wish to be out with my camera every minute. the trees. migod. and even though the early darkness is very disconcerting, walking home last evening, among those trees … with the cotton candy sky peeking through. oh. my.
the weekend was fairly quiet, with ordinary things occurring. kitchen floor cleaning, artTabling, errands, the like. some outside hikes, calm ones, as my poet is still malingering. ugh. stupid flu. i hope i resist. saturday along the river. sunday to the swamp. where i decided only to take the little olympus XA camera, no digital. what a dummy. we saw a BIG black snake wadded by the path, a toddler possum pretending sleep in a tree limb, we could go close, beautiful grasses, perfect sky … wonderful things. snap snap snap goes the little camera … film not advancing at all. OH WELL.
i feel quieter than usual, with less words, because i have been working on archives, putting them all together in one place (*not* here … as i am not sure i really want them public. definitely not all of them) and i am in a state of horror at how naked and explicit i was for a couple of years. how prolific. one would think i did not have a life beyond online journalling. and that is certainly not true. anyway. that.
onward. witching day!
