zita- <speaking of writers, dusty says ..... "always write with a hard on".> tanks for the compliment, but it's a tom robbins quote (paraphrased) Get yourself in that intense state of being next to madness. Keep yourself in, not necessarily a frenzied state, but in a state of great intensity. The kind of state you would be in before going to bed with your partner. That heightened state when you’re in a carnal embrace: time stops and nothing else matters. You should always write with an erection. Even if you’re a woman. ~Tom Robbins i think it's almost as important for lovemaking as writing. <VBG> -lep86

Yesterday as the sun disappeared and the storm moved in it was pretty. I have several huge spruce in my front yard: 100 feet tall?, at the far edge of my property along the street. My house is built at the back of the property and cannot be seen from the street. I cut the trees around the house for sunshine and to allow air flow around the house. It is pretty. Then I have a large pond between my house and the street (with a family of ducks). I love it here and will miss it when I sell next year. When a storm moves in the trees sway. I have a covered (with clear plastic) front porch on the second floor (facing south) and when I stand out on it look out, my front yard is wild and pretty. I did put in a large lawn with some rose bushes around a large tree stump to provide some civilization to contrast with my wild forest. But mostly I left it wild. My old friend Dick (he wrote the book "The Island Within) used to talk about how at times when a storm moved in they would open all the doors and windows and let the storm move through the house. He went to an island off the coast of Sitka and lived there trying to mold himself into the nature, sort of like Thoreau did at Walden pond. When my daughter was a Berkeley she was assigned his book. It was a big deal for her as she grew up with him in the house all the time.
