I just got back from a long walk. It's in the fifties and sunny and I walked around the park in a tanktop. I just talked to a Bay Area friend (her name will not be used to protect her privacy).
She and I discussed The Ballad of the Sad Cafe.
I think it's true. There are two ways with love. To love and to be loved. I like having both go on with myself. I don't think it's better to love or to be loved. I think it's good to find a way to have both.
She said she would rather love.
I need a new book to read. I think I may stick with the McCullers theme and read The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter.
I found out that the youth I used to work with in the Bay Area still love me. It's good to have a fan club.
(Now, I will stop protecting the privacy of my beloveds:)
Also, I came up with one more reason why I should move to Key West:
I won't have any friends there (which Riva thinks is bad) but that will provide isolation so I can begin working on my writing without distraction.
And, today's music preference is: "Peaceable Kingdom" by Patti Smith. I dedicate my listening to it over and over to Ellen because eight years ago, she taught me the beauty of playing a song on repeat until your mind is cleared of everything but that music for weeks.
And Miles has a blog! I am thrilled.
