I have to admit I'm struggling a tad with the loneliness of not knowing anyone here. As much as I like time on my own, and am quite independent some days I have to admit it is a bit of a struggle. So I plan to hatch a plan to improve my situation, starting with a mug of tea and a gooey piece of cake! I will let you know how I get on. I came across this poem by Robert Creeley last week and fell in love with it.
Love comes quietly,
finally, drops
about me, on me,
in the old ways.
What did I know
thinking myself
able to go alone
all the way.
How was your weekend? Ours was good and bad. To be honest yesterday was just one of those days where everything went wrong and no-one seemed to be able to see the funny side of things. You know those days where you're just pleased it's over when you crawl into bed at night....? We did manage to wander through the Rose Gardens and meandered on through Washington Park which was really nice - a wee bit of calm in between the snarkiness.
Lookee here - there's an iPhone app that lets you turn your photos into polaroids! Love it big time!
Do you ever see an abandoned house and wonder what happened? Why did they leave - what stories must lie within the ruins? Ruin by Brian Vanden Brink captures these abandoned structures and provides a permanence before they disappear forever.
