Tuesday: fly to Cleveland. Eat dinner, prep for class, sleep.
Wednesday: Run training class. Eat dinner, catch up on e-mail, meet old friend for a drink, sleep.
Thursday: Run training class. Get on plane, sit on tarmac for two hours with weather delay, get home, drive home, watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force, sleep.
Friday: Take Anne to hospital for tests, which went fine (still waiting for biopsy results, but not worried as the gastroscopy ruled out anything major — biopsy was just a formality). Ship guitar to Erie, PA.
Saturday: Depressed all day. Went to anselm23‘s birthday party. Read poem. Got hugged. Went home. Will sleep now.

I have something really profound to say here about the nature of poetry and its relationship to sound, based on recent reading and thinking; but I can’t recall what it is.
This is the story of my life. When I was about 16, I had a really profound insight into the nature of existence, based on staring at moonlight on ceiling tiles in my room; I fell asleep and lost it forever.
Half of life, I think, is attempted recovery of the forgotten things we once thought profound. The other half is attempted release of bullshit thoughts that aren’t at all profound; somewhere in there is the attempt to sort among the bullshit for the profound thoughts.
Doesn’t leave much time for sex. Or happiness, for that matter.

Yes. I understand this sentiment. Part of me wants to give up and go hide in Utah.
I keep fighting. I hope you will too.

Re: You have such a knack
The number of times I’ve shifted a set list is already astronomical. I barely bother to make them anymore…going with that Grateful Dead vibe, ya know.
Thank you, again.

You have such a knack
for putting into words the formless thoughts that batter around in my head. I’m so grateful for that.
Didn’t do “Political Art” at Tuesday’s feature, btw. It was a quiet little crowd, and I opted instead for a quiet little page piece of mine about returning to Kalamazoo and struggling with the memories of my first marriage. I think it was the right choice for the mood, both mine and the listeners.

Re: Sound
Yup. Good stuff.
Current meditation is based on a couple of essays (on Japanese poetry and on the transition from oral to written forms) in Jane Hirshfield’s “Nine Gates.”
