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.

Thoreaus life unraveling chronologically
This cover has been used before.
I like this book with its wide margins.
What journal do the persimmon and the buckeye keep, and the sharp-shinned Hawk? - Thoreau
I am now into tea business -Persimmon

Stylish home
Slipcover
At a ceremony, my friend used two teapoys and slipped red covers as them decoratively as Slipcover. They were in different bedrooms. It seems like a good idea to buy furniture such that they can be bundled for an impromptu gathering with the multiples.
She made paper booties as party favors for the baby shower, with holes and a ribbon as the shoe lace using the lower half of a paper glass.

Curlicue
When I saw this painting at a friends house, a painting from the day before found a companion. This one with its grille background blurred the painting and the hanger. The flowers look big as the grille holds back. When you zoom in on the right flower, the left seems like a hand.
Th painting I saw at a relative's house had three red flowers standing up which was a stock picture but it gained a different meaning after I had sent some time on the s hand rail with a big comma inside the lower half and a mirror on the upper half together forming a smaller s like the joint was a bundle. the fancy curls were repeated on the right margin as a scroll and the red flowers itself were on a background of white Annes lace.

Light
A white chandelier reflects in the window glass as some of it with green branches.
Safeway has this medieval chandelier without the vertical bar and the candles above their produce.
Hold a paper in your hands, sitting in the car, let the sun reflect the writing on the window glass onto your paper like a secret writing.

Magic and murder
Initially I couldnt think of anything but this book in my current reading list. The hidden world of magic, selling your soul is a great hook to the reader but the book didnt sustain the interest. The writing style is good, but the stagnant story and general slow pace of the book did it in.
I like that the author wrote this book for her child. I have not read the first book. That could be another reason why I couldnt relate to the book or characters.
Movies on magic Prestige, Now You See Me.
Like the Movie Prestige has Nikola Tesla, this book has Edison.

Charles Simic
Butcher shop and Roach perspective
Cockroach poem reminded me of D A Powell's chicken poem.
Dismantling the silence,
Victor Contoscki on the above poem about the language of the inanimate
review
Excerpt
Brooms poem
Chicken without a head
On Charles Simic at the end
Ballad of the wheel
Thesis on Simic
Exegetes
Baconian (Looking at the annotated Thoreau, I realise with my interest for new words, I am or should be an annotator), Thoreau says is not the way to go. Its through senses. The divide continues. Charles Simic refers to the Noumenon in Bric-a-brac.

A books wormhole
Last night, I was thinking about the fictional books in Fellowship of Alien detection and Lenny Cyrus. What about a character who writes his/her writing in these books.
