full moon.

mnemonic
looking at the photo,
i can only tell you that
these two walls painted
these two colors had the
most unexpected shock
of loveliness and it is
very difficult to explain;
it created (on that hot
muggy day) the most
vibrant, alluring elegy
to these women of the
bauhaus. i wish you
could see it in person.
(there's no
forgetting)

sic transit
the more i think about it,
the more i am sure that
getting anywhere needs
to be more than half the fun

I've begun to realize that most of the people I admire
beyond all possibility of explanation are, or have been
at some time, teachers. There's really no way to completely
comprehend how much the influence of one good teacher
can change a single life (yours?). The truly great teachers
might do this hundreds (thousands?) of times. And
changing just one life is really a pretty big deal, isn't it?
How can anyone fully explain the amount of admiration this merits?
Teach?

corners of heaven
while travelling, it occurred to me that we
make our roadmap of heaven here on earth.
what we choose to do. how we live it.
above, a photo that looks to me to be
a corner of a heaven: valéry lorenzo's studio.
there are other corners of heaven that seem
to have been showing up. perhaps it helps to notice them.
in our tiny slice of california, it is hot and beautiful.
i note that certainly (though it is in need of
a little tlc and a lot of water) one corner happens, thankfully,
to be right in our backyard.
good to be home.

when you're a Thing-Finder, you don't have a minute to spare
a moment to congratulate david john
(who is a true delight and has one of
the most brilliant blogs around) for his
very cool news. pure joy to see this
blog meet blog story; it sends a sweet
shot of happiness through the interwebs.
