a periodic purge of relentlessly tedious routines
designed to refresh the spirit / restore humor / and relieve the boredom of automatic choices
no more twirling with the New York Times / a quick boogie with the Rude Pundit instead
no more fox-trotting with the thigh rubbing gasbag pundits on the televison cable networks
indeed, if it were not for Jon Stewart (The Daily Show) and Giada DeLaurentiis (Everyday Italian) i wd cancel the satellite)
Democracy Now (Amy Goodman) on KZMU is okay
unsubscribe from everything (newsletters, political magazines, non-profits, activist groups)
(er um / except for a couple of cooking mags)
(and it's okay to continue to be sustaining member of the Marijuana Policy Project working for legalization of medical marijuana and states' rights involved thereto)
set up an impenetrable barricade to prevent Any Catalogue from entering the sacred domain
the Last Cat will definitely be the last cat / it will be okay to donate to the Moab Humane Society but dont bring home anything warm and furry that needs to be fed and cuddled / sigh)
ALL books even those i havent read will be packed into boxes and put in the backroom pantry where they will be accessible but not take up so much room
(i never owned so many books ! i was always a library person but when i came to live in Moab and despite the really wonderful library here i began to accumulate books especially collections of old favorites like Italo Calvino / i worried that something might happen to the library and then what would i do ? smile)
book shelf space will be filled with yarns and fleeces that have been hiding out of sight out of mind in baskets in the closet / my Knitting Body yearns to see what she has to work with especially since the Glass Fusing Body has been making such nifty buttons
in fact, Knitting Body wishes just to knit button bands and buttonhold bands ! and maybe she will
~~~~~~~~~~~
okay this is a start
ongoing considerations re Dreams That Havent Come True Yet and whether they have a chance or not / stay tuned in
ps / it's okay to make as many glass doo dads as you want even before you stick them on the bracelets / like spinning fleece into many skeins of yarn you cant have too many possibilitease in either yarn or glass
love, skaterina

Dreams that haven't come true yet?
When I was in Moab I hoping we could talk about dreams not coming true and how to go on when we realize that everyday there are fewer opportunities to realize the dream. Shall we stop dreaming? Are we ever too old to fall in love. If we've had one real love in our life is that enough?
These are my questions. My question to you is where can I go for the answers?
Moab was a good place to be for awhile. I spent some time back in the seventies walking around the Canyolands searching for the meaning of life.
