Cold outside, but warm inside with fire roaring in the wood burning stove, dry split maple from the trees we watched grow but which towered over the house and had to come down. Tea steeping in the kitchen in a big mug. I’ll add honey and cream. Tomorrow, filming parades inside with Boomtown Hoops, whom I met first at the Maryland Faerie Festival in May - such good people and wonderful hoopers.

I have not even been on Twitter much, only Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/yenra
Yet I still plan to come back and fill in the gaps in my journal - so many notebooks to transcribe.

Preparing my next Bookshare scan: Bitter Lemons by Lawrence Durrell - an impressionistic study of the moods and atmospheres of Cyprus from 1953 to 1954. Durrell is a residence writer who paints intense word portraits and landscapes. First words of this book: “Journeys, like artists, are born and not made. A thousand differing circumstances contribute to them, few of them willed or determined by the will–whatever we may think. They flower spontaneously out of the demands of our natures–and the best of them will lead us not only outwards in space, but inwards as as well. Travel can be one of the most rewarding forms of introspection. These thoughts belong to Venice at dawn, seen from the deck of the ship which is to carry me down through the islands to Cyprus.”
