Annie Dillard, Meditative Author of ‘Pilgrim at Tinker Creek,’ Dies at 81 (Gift Article)
Her Thoreau-like account of journeys in the woods, published when she was 28, was the first of many ruminations on life and nature, good and evil.

🛶 Revised schedule for James, 9/1-9/27
Short book, busy month--as suggested, I've spread out the reading, and added breaks for holidays/life/etc. Pages are for the print edition (Doubleday, 2024).
Hope this will work for everybody! Looking forward to hearing what you think of this book!

The prologue of every Stephen King novel published between 1975 and 1988:
Under thy shadow by the piers I waited
Only in darkness is thy shadow clear.
The City’s fiery parcels all undone,
Already snow submerges an iron year...--Hart Crane
We've got the biggest balls of them all --AC/DC

I can't stress enough the importance of making shitty things. Shitty writing. Shitty art. Shitty paintings. Shitty films. Shitty songs. Shitty sculptures. Shitty is beautiful, because it's human. There's no glory without shitty. Get out there and shit things up.

Odysseus repeatedly tells lies about coming from Crete. Crete is a land of a past that never happened. The Cretan cover says: As you read this Odyssey, think about lying, identity, story-telling, myth, and whether the past can ever be truly recaptured.

Buy a shirt!
I put a call out for mural walls yesterday and I got a lot of VERY good walls for projects of a variety of scales. Unfortunately I have only sold enough shirts this summer to cover 2 of those walls.
This means more people need to buy shirts. Thems the breaks. More shirts more art.

So many trees are down. Chainsaws all day. The downed trees are still blocking the road with cars pinned and buckling underneath. Something about the loss of a tree is upsetting.
