so cold. so rainy. so bone-damp. coughing. snuffling. and yet.
i am grateful for…
1) rain out there, warm in here
2) jennifer, for this:
ra ma da sa for haiti from jennifer mazzucco on Vimeo.
3) tissues
4) this, from “a year with rilke,” for january 15 (which i thought was today, but is not): “as you unfold as an artist, just keep on, quietly and earnestly, growing through all that happens to you. you cannot disrupt this process more violently than by looking outside yourself for answers that may only be found by attending to your innermost feeling.” (“letters to a young poet,” paris, feb. 17, 1903)
5) sweetness
6) re-discovering park slope yoga
7) the idea of skiing
8) healing touch
9) raisins
10) the line in better off dead: “but it’s got raisins. you love raisins.”
11) laughing, hard
