Sorry, Kid, I thought you were in England? Why did I think that? And what the hell is the Poet Laureate of PsychoBabble doing in effin' Florida?
I understand the Texas thing, right now I doubt I will ever go back there. I wish our girl were still there in Austin, but she ain't, and I hope those feelings of loss start healing. She was a good friend...
Rothko at the Tate Modern? Cool. Yeah, I sat there, mesmerized, looking at the walls of the chapel. You start looking at paint as PAINT. You see surfaces you never knew were there, nuances of light and shadow, caused only by a certain way that he held the brush or the particular hue he created. Gets my vote...
Off to the local cooperative market to do my stint as a worker... gets me 15% off my groceries...
a hug to you,
xxxoooWendy
