I am in my happy place with Richard, which is a great relief. He is cooking a ham slice. I arranged my set up here. I always come with devices and supplies.
Today was a stressful day, so I am enjoying being here.
I have some photos from the cooking.
Pre Cooking HamSomewhat Instructions
Prompt: Make real-life your creative practice, like a show and tell from kindergarten. Be you because you are the best.
Finished Ham
Thankfulness: Alex got more of his homesteading done. Richard called and said I could visit when I wanted. It took me a long time, but I made it here. I dropped the books that were racking up fees at the library dropbox. I got all of the ten loads of laundry I did yesterday sorted.

I want to know you, I need to trace the lines, truth, You Speak to my heart Those things which without you would Detonate, exploding life. In your eyes, time, Space, With gentleness reflect Your forbearance for everything. The syllables said Reverberate Like snares, tones, Escorting me to locales Wherein I belong. Lightning sparkles in Assurances you choose, share, Attempting to Arouse A sense of caring in ones Who approach living without Being fully engaged In Creativity, imagination, love. Whose lives divorce emotion From the force Of all the richness Contained In brief moments, that carry Strange variables fit to alter each Experience, changing the game.
If you only change the color of The blankets worn without Reforming the creature Beneath, your actions are Futile.

I stand watching, Tears in my eyes. I cannot, No, cannot, Tell you goodbye.

The child becomes The one who Believes enough To keep the parents Forever real.

When people ask difficult Questions, I imagine them marooned Without clothes on, In a swamp.

I need enough to Bring me back to life, survive, Living on my own.

Prompt What is it getting under your skin or upside you? Create something that expresses the dissonance of the time. Let your imagination fill in the blanks that you cannot maintain rationally.
Making Gratitude My Way (I am producing these gratitude lists to keep me mindful of the wondrous things in life, even amid daily setbacks and sufferings.) Alex made it safely back to his new home. I finished Silence by Don Dellio. Alex found his cat, Gobi, both times she was lost. My creativity seems to have multiplied. I edit, read, write in ways that enlighten me.

What if the promise Is not real, just another Raw deal, a failure? Waking up is complicated – Because things get smashed, broken, But when it is done There comes a welcome clarity; Reject what does not Serve, let compassion step up, Guide us each into what is.
Prompt When one writes short, many things can be covered independently. Try your hand at haiku, which are counted syllable poems of three lines with counts of 5 – 7 – 5. If you care to, do some tanka as well, the syllable counts are 5 – 7 – 5 – 7 – 7. These short forms are good exercises to prepare the voice for more extensive verse.
Gratitude Now Listening to my favorites, The Rolling Stones, in live shows streamed from YouTube. Spending time with Richard when I did not wish to be alone. Catching a nap. Coming home so I can Rock. My ice-maker.

Understanding is Difficult when all you feel Is magnified pain; Welcome to the fierce party Where the fight is to be real, heal. Put it all away The problem and scalding tears No illustration Is necessary because Everyone has scrabbled in The concoction made When one forgets to close those Cabinet doors written of In proper legend, The lore of continued Battles in ongoing war. No one becomes the victor, Only adept at disguise. Screams of despair Rise, rise into pallid skies Pain never fades, stops, But does not lie; it destroys Equally all of the time.
Prompt: Create something quickly, which seems you took considerable time. Try to engage all your creativity in limited moments.
Gratitude Today I was up to see Alex off. I finished up the magazine pages with the others. I took a nap. Alex made it to Jacksonville safely. I think I will complete this post in time.
