Terrible dreams - 4, 1 thing.
In all, I was in danger, hunted by someone wanting to do me harm. Probably from taking Ambien while in N.Y. and now our of it/no more.
So:
Shitty mood. 2017 has been so filled with negative energy - political scene, sexual assult, violence, turbulence in 29 Pieces, it's been hard to stay in equilibrium.

Right page:
I am reading the bio of Leonardo. I find a kindered soul:
He:
Loved velvet + dressing
Was a vegetarian
Loved animals
Was curious
Was kind
Hated violence
Was quirky
did not have children, yet loved to mentor.
Loved pagentry + the big show.
