Shall We Discuss Virginia Woolf?

Oh, Virginia. I tried to love you, back in my younger days. I read something of yours that someone suggested and I didn’t get it and I moved away, like you were some strange spicy curry that my thoughts weren’t ready to taste and enjoy. But today, today you have filled my whole soul up

Satisfaction

I’m going to tell you this thing that’s true right now, but isn’t always. But right now it’s true (like I may have mentioned) and so I will share it, because it’s good to be true. I am satisfied. I like my life. I enjoy the people with whom I share my days and nights,

Reading

Here in the Independent Study Class of Fabulousness, I’m reading Romantics. Poets, novelists, essayists. And I just finished my assignment from Mary Wollstonecraft, “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” which was written in six weeks.

How to Get it to Rain

(A Drought-Year User’s Guide) 1. Stare at wilting plants and withering grasses for a month. 2. Gasp in shock, every day, when you somehow forget what 90+ degrees feels like in your yard. 3. Sleep with the AC on, even though you live in the high mountain desert, and everyone knows it gets very cold
