Late yesterday afternoon, I suddenly got it and moved around some pieces and it all came together. What a relief. Now, of course, comes the rest of the puzzle, which still has a lot of those off-white pieces and a complicated butterfly design.
I will forge ahead.
We watched the last episode of Pretend It’s A City last night. Fran Lebowitz has over 10,000 books – another reason I admire her. She talks about that in an earlier episode when she references looking for a new apartment and needing something large enough for her books. But in this last episode, she talks about books and reading. Throughout this series, Don kept turning to me and saying “You’re like that!” I am, even down to the same quirky sense of humor.
We’re going to watch the whole thing again because Lebowitz speaks quickly and we sometimes missed what she was saying. I also love how delighted Scorsese is with her, often laughing heartily.
One other thing to point you toward: Don shared Jeff Bridges’ website with me today. It’s extraordinary. Besides being an Oscar-winning actor, he’s an artist, a photographer, and a musician. He draws and hand writes his posts. The entire site is so imaginative, so creative. In case you don’t know it, Bridges is fighting cancer right now. Yet, he still shares his wisdom and music and passions. I’ve always admired him; he’s a good person. A loving soul. Here’s the link.
Thanks, Don, for sharing this with me.
We’re counting the days until the 20th. It seems endless on one hand, but it’s only five days. Hearing Biden’s proposals yesterday was a breath of fresh air. Smart, compassionate, honest. He’s already been more of a leader in the past few weeks than OM was in four years.
I’m hearing a bird sing right now. I’m always rather shocked when I hear a bird sing in the dead of winter, but most days, I do. It seems like a special message just meant for me. That may seem silly, but that’s how I feel. I always thank the birds for sharing their song with me.
Looks like another gray day. This morning was very, very foggy. Don and I were saying that we’d love an entire day surrounded by fog. Sitting here in our cozy cottage, with the rest of the world muted would be lovely. Just for one day.
Hang in there, everyone.
Stay safe.
Happy Friday.
