the plunge
Sometimes the magic that happens in my studio leaves me with the shivers.
The project was to do a self portrait of yourself swimming. This is something I am desperately missing already after a summer mostly in the lake.
Little 6 year old friend says “Can I do a handstand where just my feet and legs are showing?”
I asked her “Is that because you are trying to avoid drawing the hard parts to your body?”
She said no.
Just look.
Can’t you feel the joy of the cold and delicious water?

the two- second blink
“The notion of divorce has become one of failure again,” said Ms. Morrison, 42, a resident of Park Slope. “It used to be, ‘You’re free, rock on!’ Now it’s, ‘You couldn’t make it work, you failed.’ ” Ms. Morrison described people’s reaction as “the two-second blink” when she says something along the lines of, “Zack is with his father today.”
Apparently, the divorce rate has parked itself at 30%. I never liked it at 50% and sometimes the world around me seems dishearteningly 70% . Divorced people don’t crave more P.L.U.S (people like us) – we crave to see good and solid unions. We don’t snicker when another marriage bites the dust, we gasp as shocked if not more shocked and saddened than the marrieds.
