Notes from the Office, 2:59pm, Friday
The radio phone dings every time the lightening gets close to the receiver, but I no longer jump up to see who's calling.
The cats have given up playing with the hole in the screen and are napping on the ledge, safe from any stray raindrops the dark cloud lets fall.
A red pen rests on a printed version of a new piece beside Annie Dillard's book, "The Writing Life."
There is a purple fan and iced tea with lemon and bare feet and a quote by Toni Morrison and silence except for the keys.
Last night I watched "Avatar" for the first time and cried, cried for the symbolism, for the blue skin and big feet and yellow eyes and the seed pods that floated like jellyfish... and injustice.
Kris Kristofferson tickets are pinned to the bulletin board, like a hook from Jan 2013, pulling me through the final months of the year.

Mr. Kristofferson is one of the absolute Greats in my book. You know he supposedly met Hemingway? You know he idolizes William Blake? You know he allegedly rented a helicopter to land at Johnny Cash's house so he could pitch his songs to the Man in Black?
The less I say about Avatar, the better, although I will concede that the 3D was pretty revolutionary.
You write the quiet, important moments so well.

Went to find a small QUIET fan in Wal-mart, and purple was the only color left.

I love the quiet of this. One particularly effective part was the inclusion of bare feet--the only hint that the room was actually occupied.

Love the quiet of this. And that your fan is purple...;-)

Love it. Avatar got me, too, and Kristofferson is way cool. The last painting I did, I listened to a double CD of his greatest.

A David Sedaris ticket for October 28 is doing the same for me... supposedly one T Cortez is going to occupy the seat next to me...
Thank you for this peek at your writing room...
