Early morning: Crack eyelids, catch streaks of luminous pink across the sky.
Morning warming: Mist rising off the ridge of deep green pines.
Glass table strewn with papers.
Concrete floor strewn with papers.
Coffee table scattered with books.
Gathering. Sifting. Collecting. Organizing.
I’m assembling a script. Writing bits of it. Mostly rearranging.
Envisioning characters, direction, design, audience participation.
What Alice Found There
Stretching from Rose Garden to Windmill in Golden Gate Park in April and May 2020
Here, Montalvo.
Precious. Space. Quiet. Time.
Synthesize. Prepare.
Afternoon: Snacks, stretching, sit on a cushion, clamber in the forest.
Afternoon: Work. Computer screen. Shift the books and pages about.
Evening: Descend the hill. Set the table. Break bread together.
Be daily ever more honored, surprised, delighted, moved, inspired by the company we keep here.
A privilege.
A gift.
