if your heart is willing then your head can rest

great lee ann womack lyrics!

did you know that the human eye, scientifically speaking, cannot recognize what it has never seen before--i mean, things which have never been experienced? so we think we are seeing something we can imagine or understand, we literally think it is something else, until we can begin to approach the thing which we recognize firstly, we havent known, and second, that we are in the presence of change, and so change. and can begin to see.

anyway, that's how i live. thats what juliet was telling me today, and about her spending time at calarts where i went to school back a hundred years ago, and the great hall, where all the gallery openings were held, and she saw places i had seen, we ate sour cream and onion chips and whoppers and told stories.

a storm came on late in the afternoon and laid down some rain. we went for a walk in it, and carried our own umbrellas, hers pink, mine clear lined around with red. i got it a couple years ago at a little shop in the upper west of manhattan, back when i still believed in certain things.

its not that ive stopped believing. only now i am seeing the changes that have happened, and can start to see, but differently. and actually, i dont mind at all.

then again, james asked me: who do you write these blogs for? whom are you addressing? and i thought it was a good question, so i told him, im talking to the human condition, i am speaking of human beingness. which sounds really stupid writing it, and probably sounded pompous when i said it, but actually, its true.
