Listened to the same terrasonic mix on iTunes. So good! So glad I listened to it again.

Almost did not leave the house this morning. I would not have known to regret it if I had not.

!!!

A few highlights. A motley dappled hawk, ragamuffin brown and white, swooped in from a tree in the cemetery. Then a formation of barn swallows making parabola around the tree. The parabola fills me with a kind of joyful feeling following the hawk. I think of Thomas Pynchon's penchant for parabolas. I have never read Pynchon, but am influenced nonetheless, via my brother Matthew who is the one who pointed out Pynchon's parabolas.

The hawk is chasing the barn swallows. He is a bit ungainly but sure in his magisterial swoop. The swallows are quick and elusive.

I would have missed that had I stayed in bed. And these pictures.

I love the placement of this Santa on the back window of this mausoleum. Trippy and unexpected. Love this shot all around.


I was feeley ragusa, mon.

sad clown face of time

Morning Dance at Candlewood lake. Past a few joggers and it occurs to me that everybody is listening to music, but very few people are moving to the music. I can hardly help but move to the music. Is it fear that keeps people from moving to the music when they run? Because I can't believe that they are not feeling the music. Jumped in the lake afterward. Stand there and look at my reflection in the rippling gem of the water. Then dive in, fully alive. I open my eyes underwater and see opaque green. painted bridge painting set out for trash trolling! nice shape mail fish ?? good find

Today I went to Mt. Zion Cemetery. I noticed on the map it was tucked back behind the cemetery I usually go to, Calvary. And I wanted to go to a Jewish Queens cemetery anyway because I told my friend Jacques Delaguerre that I would look for his grandfather's gravestone, which is apparently somewhere in Queens. An impossible task, but one which I was happy to begin. First of all, it was not easy to get into this cemetery. It is closed off from Calvary and you have to take a side street and enter in between the Sanitation dept. and a police station. The cemetery itself is overrun with weeds and flowers. The gravestones are very close together, almost haphazardly laid out. And mostly of a darker hue than the gravestones at Calvary. It is very different from neatly kept and organized Calvary cemetery. I couldn't help think about the chequered history of the Jews while I was here, especially those still alive during WWII. Cats were running around. And in one section I saw an aband...

Difficult start this morning, probably because I was up so late last night, writing, looking for work. This morning started with Disclosure on Spotify, a recommendation of NPR. I used to be cool, but now I get my recommendations from NPR! The music was okay but I don't much care for the modern Beats. I mean the click track sound. Got about halfway through the album and switched to the new Daft Punk, but the same problem. A little bit of a dance this morning but hardly qualifies really. Mostly qualifies because of the effort made. Because I know that effort to continue will bring the right dance tomorrow. LAWLESS (the dance remix) DISCO ANGEL I often notice this graffiti as I dance. Russian?
