A Touch of Formality...


A cape will always make you feel SUPER...
and I am super warm, and ready for anything.

I've dragged myself away from the romance novels ('research') 
and am now moving in an orange box with my friend.

The first day of our third development, Fiona and I are keeping safe, 
keeping super, and re-equainting ourselves with 'art-making' and not 'admin'. 

Nothing like donning a cape to start the formal proceedings...

Red sky in the morning, sailors warning


Mother nature has a wonderful way of indicating future plans. The message was lucidly clear this morning. The old rhyme "red sky at night, sailors delight, red sky in the morning, sailors warning" is very accurate. A RED SKY AT NIGHT... means that as the sun sets in the west, if it has a red hue or color to it, then the moisture was further west of their location. Thus SAILORS DELIGHT. A beautiful sunset.RED SKY IN THE MORNING...means that as the sunlight from the rising sun passes through moisture, it too will be red. This means that with the rotation of the earth, this will bring this moisture (and possible storm) right on top of them and it is only a few hours away. SO SAILORS TAKE WARNING. 
Perhaps it's not just for the sailors. Mother nature, I do believe you are speaking to us all loud and clear. Sorry that we are often too busy to stop and notice. I'm wondering if recent floods, earthquakes and the such have been you tapping us on the shoulder?

Getting ready

As May approaches days like today make me very nervous. Today as I ran, my legs hurt and my general energy was low. Possibly my liver is still processing alcohol from friends wedding, more likely, I have encountered a plateau in my training. Better now than later I reassure myself.
My whole body feels a weight of worry, a mild underlying anxiety about the enormity of what Hiatus is. And because dwelling in worry is so awfully uncomfortable I am considering ways in which I might effectively lessen (total alleviation seems impossible) this feeling. Essentially I am asking myself, what can I do today to prepare? What does it mean to prepare? Who else might I assist to prepare? Is it possible to prepare too much?
In thinking about preparedness, I leave you with some interesting thoughts on why it is that we don't prepare as much as we might, should or could for natural disasters...

Here comes the rain, rain, rain, again.


Rain, Rain (Cher)


Why am I here if youre there
So far away its not fair
To be without you like this
I miss you more than you know
The nights are long
The days slow
Without the warmth of your kiss
Wish you were back here with me
Cause out my window
All is see is

Rain , Rain In The Sky
Everywhere I Look My Eyes See
Rain , Rain Fallin' Down
Crying As It Hits The Ground
Rain , Rain In My Heart
Every Day That Were Apart
Rain , Rain
Falling Rain

The sun is strong when youre near
But when you're gone it disappears
Behind an ocean of blue
The telephones not good enough
It cant reach out it cant touch
Me like the way you do
Wish you would knock at my door
Cause only you can stop this pouring

Rain , Rain In The Sky
Everywhere I Look My Eyes See
Rain , Rain Fallin' Down
Crying As It Hits The Ground
Rain , Rain In My Heart
Every Day That Were Apart
Rain , Rain
Falling Rain , Rain
Rain , Rain
Only Rain , Rain

Maybe Ill go outside
And walk beneath the clouds
Pretend its you thats watching over me
This isn't the only thing that comes
Between us now
Baby soon well be together

OOOO
( Everywhere I look I see rain )
( Everywhere I look I see rain )
Rain
( Everywhere I look I see rain )
Everywhere I look I see rain
( Everywhere I look I see rain )
Rain
( Everywhere I look I see rain )
Rain
( Rain , rain in the sky )
( Everywhere I look my eyes see rain )
Rain
( Rain falling down )
Down
( Crying as it hits the ground )
Dont ,
( Rain , rain in my heart everyday that were apart )
( Rain , rain )
Rain
( Falling rain, rain )
Rain
( Rain, rain )

Everywhere I look I see rain
Everywhere I look I see the rain
But I dont see you
You're not near me
I need you
Every day that we are apart.
Rain, rain
It'll never be the same
If you dont stop the rain
