Saturday night – emotional plumbing

Just spent the quietest and slowest day I can remember in some time. Diane and Gabe are up in Montreal.. still.. and I spent the day puttering around the house.. Last night, despite a huge list of work , home and social projects on my list, I decided to go to sleep at 11.. .. ..pretty early for a weekend.. Not before one stunt.. I’d been in a work conversation all day about the correlation of violent crime with rising temperatures.. a bad portent for global warming y.. We were discussing the non causal relationships between violence and things like ice cream and swimming pool usage.. that are also linked causally to warm weather.. The comment circulated that eating ice cream in a swimming pool on a full moon certainly signified danger… couldn’t help taking this picture.. (can’t see the pool.. but I’m standing in it.. be glad you can’t see to deep 🙂 )

Diane was up in Canada.. and I was missing her.. so our bed looked big and empty.. I chose instead to sleep in the tower.. despite the hard floor I slept 9 hours !!!!!!! (!!!!!!!!!) .. about twice a normal night for me.

i woke to beautiful sunshine and birds singing..

I felt a great weight coming from m.. this has been such an emotional couple of weeks for me.. first Janet’s passing then Eiljah’s death.. It was like a flood breaking in me.. I did a fair bit of quiet thinking.. some crying and by the end of the day i felt cleansed and at peace…. my emotional plumbing was clear again

I spent the first part of the day workign in the yeard. one job was to remove a tarp that Diane suspected was harboring a nest of snakes… she was right !

Mid afternoon I went over to hellp my freind Chris move soem of his art to his new studio in Burlington.. It’s a big change for him.. and I wish him so much luck.. It was fun moving these crazy pieces.. When I got there , Kim and I were talking about Elijah.. the ripples of his death keep moving through the town.. She told me that the power went out in the entire town due to Elijah’s accident.. I hadn’t made the connection… so powerfulll

the ripples…

Chris and I organized to move some of his pieces.. He’s and kinm had already loaded the truck when I got there Here’s a steam punk sekeleton he built which I really love..
