the female gaze

Look with your eyes, not with your hands.


Such a minute fraction of this life do we live: so much is sleep, tooth-brushing, waiting for mail, for metamorphosis, for those sudden moments of incandescence: unexpected, but once one knows them, one can live life in the light of their past and the hope of their future.

Summer thunder storms

So my day "alone" spent catching up with John - hashing out my time away and his time in the city - of course tangentially talking about the future with great ambivalence, how much we fear being terminally alone - or even worse, dependent. Work, grad school, and an article in the NY Times about "interns of privilege." A nice time really, sitting at the kitchen table (where I am convinced the best conversations happen) while the summer thunder boomed outside in a theatrical way. But it was nice - and a connection I needed to mend before jumping back into the city head first.

Think I am going to sit and spend some time with my journal and a good pen, listening to the new counting crows (but very excited about the new Bruce Springsteen this week) and enjoy the rest of my Sunday.
