The flat
In the documentary The Flat, a coin with two opposing sides when whirred round, wakes you and takes you back to the moment where the journey began in the narrator's grandparents flat.
While going through the things, the family members find unprocessed furs. Thoreau writes that Penobscot Indians wore the furs with legs and tails dangling.
I am usually not comfortable with works on Holocaust but the general theme that we all have a past and the generational identities or the lack of it was clearly shown. The genealogy tree's significance is seen too. And strong bond sof friendship can travel up and down the blood line and lead to insights of the past.
When I look at literary magazines asking for work on themes of family secrets, I always wonder what could be in the past. This movie is a great answer to that. The narrator and his mother form a good explorer pair into his and their past.

The journey that he took was coveted by many. He had to make sure there were no stowaways after stopping at his son's school.
During the travles his 'ream of paper' drifted to cover the whole place.

Wendell Berry on William Carlos Williams
Like always, I could see the cover better digital.
Rutherford like Thoreau's Concord
Rutherford, NJ has a Baby parade.
Handwritten sometime after 2007
By having a topic to write, do we just limit ourselves to that or whatever is lurking inside will make a connection to it.
Wheat tortillas taste better than plain flour tortillas. They have a texture. They make you stop and chew while you keep having the flour tortillas without a break and are left bickering for taste. Is the taste in what lets you pause and reflect what is in it? For writing, it seems like I have to sit in a place and think. peripatetic writing seems so difficult.
Counting food is a pause too for controlling appetite.
Going to a new place, with directions is like solving a puzzle. As you keep reaching your turn points, its another tick mark on your sheet.
Houses next to a hill.
On the I-10 Warner exit, very small broken pieces of red and yellow lights were like broken glass bangles. Our mind is so resourceful. sometimes if it finds a solution, sometimes it prods us int he direction of a question.
Damselfly. Shoals. Food carts in canal.
We cannot stick to a routine.

Vermont nature
Imagine the immense frog with a porkpie hat and cigar and fishing for the author.
Mentioning Keats vale of tears, the author uses unKeatsian. It seems to be a more common word than I thought. Writers keep the thoughts of other writers alive including them in their own writing. Like sour bread incorporating yesterday's dough.
