Transcription
my animals.
We went to La Aurora last Saturday.
Miles of aisles and rooms of art
making art... paintings, sculpture, pottery. Is that what I want?
Is this effort that I started
12 years ago worth fighting for?
Have I been too wounded by one
Is this big work of 29 pieces
worth the continued energy it takes? It may be.
I wish I were home right now.
Thursday, Feb. 9, 2017.
Didn't sleep till 2:00 a.m.
or so. Up at 10:00 a.m.
And short of breath - just
going from toilet to counter.
