lunch on tuesday

one month of relative quiet
set aside for enjoying
everything that the
stones are
saying

Trying to represent an
entire universe in
only twenty
minutes.

(Crossing the Line, 28 09 09)

I remember the Lee Hall tea dance
in which you convinced me that
it is surprisingly not impossible
for mere mortals (like
me) to execute
the Viennese
waltz.

(27 09 09 – All the best in Australia!)

Knocking at doors attached to
windows from whence warm,
indoor light spills
into the
darkness.

(26 09 09)

Even the straightest line
is the brainchild
of organic
imagination.

(25 09 09)

Talk
to me
about literary journals.

(24 09 09)

An entire day hijacked by
a pair of keys
left at home,
out of
mind.

(23 09 09)

How have you transformed
this space with
your voodoo
eye?

(22 09 09)

What could the world have
been like before we
expected that everything
could be
caught?

“It
was a
thousand pities I’d
no likeness of her,”
said Wakem about his wife.

- The Mill on the Floss (Eliot)

Thank goodness that we can always
count upon the National Trust
for cream teas, dahlias,
and vaguely inscrutable
yet well-behaved
eccentricities.

Happy Birthday (observed)
