to be Curious

so,  i've carried all those thoughts from yesterday and have really Enjoyed them.   And the Enjoying them has made me happy.   That's enough for now.  What comes of those thoughts will come,  but for the time being,  it's just that i Allowed them.  Allowed the initial thought and then let it Go…..as in, Continue… of its own accord.  I think really,  what all that meant yesterday is that i'd like to THINK like a writer of fiction.  I'd like to let the Ordinary flower out….Why Not?  And most of all i'd like to be Curious about Everything.  Everything.  Thinking that feels very good.

The Returning is in place and the threads of Mother Night are finished.  A few more stars to go.

My son's daughter,  Giana Lily Alluvial Fan and the Fischer Price Keyboard i sent her.  He called this morning and said whenever he picks it up,  she yells NO!   "that's MY Song!"   not referring to the sounds played on it,  but to the keyboard itself.  Song is the name she has given it.   It is an entity to her whose name is Song.   This is the mind i would like to cultivate.  She's two years old.

    I love how they just get right down to the heart of it! So sweet. I’m so glad you were able to give her music Grace.

    i feel often that life is fictions, or very close to it, a story is that in a way, because it gets removed from the reality. spaces to fill.

    i think i haven’t been able to think of it that way, being
    so committed to Real, but this is good, i just don’t know
    exactly what i’m thinking

    If I’m stuck in fact . . . in fact I’m stuck. I like to float on fiction now and then.

    so what my thing really IS, about fiction, is that i become a compulsive reader. If it’s a good story, one that takes me in, I am TOTALLY taken in. It becomes MY life. All i want to do is READ. Nothing else. I don’t want to cook. I don’t want to do the things that need doing because i don’t live in my own life, i live in the lives of the people in the book. I am THERE, not here. And that’s wonderful, but it’s not too. Because for as many days as it takes me to read the book, i am NOT present in my own life. And i don’t like that. I wish i could read ….some…and then go off from it. Go back, read some, go off. But that’s not the way for me. For two or three days, i not here, but There.

    That is how it is for me too. A good fiction book takes me under and I am gone. Once finished, the reverberations of my alternate existence shimmer through my real life for days. The longer the after-effect, the better the book.

    MEANING and i love that so much, but also, my Real Life here requires so much participation, with Attention, so i am
    ambivilent. I guess it’s the gift of it and then the ummmm,
    beautyFull burden of it?????
    but how just so so great that someone’s WRITING can affect us so completely. Like for our LifeTime……

    I must admit to being a binge reader. I dive into a book and live in that world but then I come out . . . I tend not to read books one after the other because if I did I would become entirely anti-social.
