Week 1
Cruising around last year of thoughts- bring forward what is ”sticky”.
Walt Whitman on What Makes Life Worth Living
“But as his body healed, the experience had permanently imprinted his mind with a new consciousness. Like all of our unexpected brushes with mortality, the stroke had thrust into his lap a ledger and demanded that he account for his life — for who he is, what he stands for, what he has done for the world and how he wishes to be remembered by it.“
Walt Whitman on What Makes Life Worth Living

- Vessels- Rebecca west on story telling
Words are not my first language so I use others words to say what would like to say in a better way.
I would like to find my voice .
“Art is not a plaything, but a necessity, and its essence, form, is not a decorative adjustment, but a cup into which life can be poured and lifted to the lips and be tasted.”
Rebecca west is speaking from a narrow realm.
Encapsulates My credo
”taste life twice” anias Nim from phoebe wallinger bridge, conversation with Patrick about prostitution and pornography re breakfast at Tiffany’s moon river was a record given to me by my grandmother when I was little. I can see the sitting room in my memory. I have the record still.
All women in a mens world ”today is so much better than then.”
