Not strange uncanny, mysterious uncanny, eerie uncanny, Remarkable Uncanny!! That is the one!!
Each day is remarkable, some days with sprinkles.
Lucy(the Lab) and I have been waiting and watching for rain, it seems, for days. The temp has been August high, and I know that rain is near. Each day we wait, and nothing. I think there is flooding in the hills of West Virginia, so I don't want that kind of rain, just to wet the earth some. Fires out west, they need some rain, much more than I, but I can still wish. Seems like we humans are always wishing for something else.
I sit at this computer, with pain in my right eye, not sure why, go to the doctor tomorrow. I just had cataract removal six weeks ago, so I hope that is all OK. This ageing stuff is testing me, and I have never been a good text taker! I will work myself into thinking of the worse, and hopefully it will be dry eyes! but by tomorrow I will have researched Braille, looked up optic brain tumor, and shake my head like Little Stevie Wonder!(that is what we use to call him) ( you have to laugh)
So I type....to occupy this brilliant mind of mind..remember that Nash man at Princeton.......so close!!
Currently am reading Big Magic, Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert it is just so..glorious. I love her, and her writing style. Below are some of her words.
1. After a certain age, (like now in my life) ( the parenthesis is me talking) no matter how you've been spending your time, you have very likely earned a doctorate in living.( amen! )
2. Maybe you grew up in an environment where people just sat around watching TV and
waiting for stuff to happen to them. ( TV was new and popular back in the day)
3. I also want to live the most vividly decorated temporary life that I can. I don't just mean
physically; I mean emotionally, spiritually, intellectually. ( I love that she recognizes that we
are all here on a temporary visa! but to live it vividly decorated!!awesomeness!!)
I can not wait to go finish it, so I will leave you with just those little parts of her story. ( every page, I have highlighted nearly every word!!! I think she is writing directly to me, but it could be you also.
June is almost finished, with July on her skirt tails, it just is so uncanny how fast time goes, you know the
remarkable uncanny!!
