Reading the elaborate descriptions of past happenings, I wondered how this book was written. In chapter 5 Gabrielle reveals that she 'wrote endlessly in her journals'.
What you are the main cook at a camp, and a camper's father is Mark Bittman? Bite that.

Powder to stop spreading
A swirl of the

A blemishless dot
on an infants

In India mothers put kohl on babies eyes to ward off blindness.

Blue
In the dream
I saw a blue bird
with a long tail split
in two
the tail feathers had designs
like a silk cloth, maroon, gold
Another sticky animal
like in the 'gods must be crazy'
blue
I was warned not to have
anything to do with it.
We were close, I shoved
a camera into its mouth
Outside the office door
a blue- green beetle
lies dead on its back

Book news
Recently my friend saw the Dorian gray movie and asked me if I read it. I read it in college, so long ago, that I could use another read. But time only permits flipping The picture of Dorian Gray.
Trees, a photo book with different kinds of rees. let me add a rescent observation at Crowne Plaza in Tempe. There was a row of what seemed like salt cedars with reall broad trunks. They have been sawed of allover. Logs stick ing out vertically. It was an antithesis of a tree with a canopy arrested to nothing.

A Jane Austen Education
Jane Austen;s fans now and then come up with books. As I kept reading about he author finding Austen's characters boring, he got his own book to such a slow pace that the car halted for ever.

The joy of understanding
Understanding something, an equation is like finding sight. Once you are done, you see new things.
Which is the happy moment, planning for how it would be?
A soldier's hat is stronger than his flesh. - In Libya, 2011.

God breaketh Not all men's hearts alike
Must be the first poem 'Nightingale' about the birds, last night I dreamt that when I opened a sheaf of folded papers a small bird slid down. Then I returned the paper purse back to the person who gave it to me.
