And now it’s February, and now there’s snow on the ground. The sky overhangs it all dome-shaped – so I intuit. It’s not a “dome” you can see, as everywhere it’s an even mantled gray, apparently thick with the potential of more snow. Or rain? But there are subtle and low frequency gradations in its […]

Meditation app hiccup, couldn’t access my account this morning. I guess it’s a lesson in dependency as it exposed how dependent I am on the app (and the routine it affords). Last night I stayed up to read a link E. had sent earlier to an article by a guy called Zunger who basically is […]

There is sufficient variegated cloud cover high in the sky this morning to cushion the sun. Consequently, it’s comfortable to sit in this room and to look out the large windows, take in the distant strip of ocean, the tree- and rooftops, and the beautiful palette of colors daubed across the vast expanse of sky. […]

What a thing this “presidency” is turning into, fast. It’s the reign of Donald FUD, Prez. On Friday he issued an Executive Order (EO), banning all refugees from seven countries, including Syria, Iran, Iraq, etc., but excluding Saudi Arabia and Pakistan – some of the worst hotbeds of radicalism. This EO – and I have […]

This morning I had to pull the shade more or less all the way down, lest my head exploded from the sun’s bore. It’s that sunny and it’s that late in the morning, too. The plus side of in effect predawn meditation followed by writing (I say “in effect” because often it wasn’t actually predawn […]

The sky this morning – fabulous. Pure sculpture – except the sun breaks through those massive forms like a chisel and strikes my head. I try to hide behind the slim shadow cast by a vertical frame on the main big window, a puny piece of wood which separates the large pane from its adjoining […]

Now when I look out my window here and the sky is cloudy, I’m glad that the sun, hidden by those clouds, can’t boil my brains. Were it sunny, I’d be moping over how I really shouldn’t, but would like to, call the awning company and have them make up something custom (and way too […]

Well, there’s no rush in getting out of the house this morning – nor will there be for at least some time to come. Yesterday, in the midst of a morning pounded by a Nor’Easter of rain (no snow, thank god), which continued through the day with more rain and apocalyptic winds, W. called shortly […]

Twas a dark and stormy …morning. Well, the wind howled and the rain lashed all night, too. Seems we’re at the receiving end of a Nor’Easter – and I’m just glad it’s not snow. I feel strangely drained. Not sure if it’s a bit of exhaustion from the weekend or what, but I feel an […]

It’s snowing. A seagull soared briefly into view, high overhead, near the upper edge of my window. Otherwise, the sky is full-empty, a nearly seamless expanse of thick snow-filled cloud cover. It wasn’t like this when I got up. It was first of all practically dark, but the sky had ridges, a kind of cloud […]
