Today—
. loving the brief visit
of rain
. wearing flannel
. gathering madonnas—by
Perugino, Botticelli, and Piero della Francesca
. coming across a
recipe for muscat grape tart
. baking sheep
Amaretto cookies
. learning that
centaur in the constellation Sagittarius, hunter with an artist's soul, was
either a friend of Gilgamesh or son of Pan, raised with Muses
. placing meditation
cushions in my story and behind my back this afternoon, while meditating on the
Oliveira painting of sun rays, and then a Japanese maple
. giving my
character Moroccan fried eggs for his breakfast, remembering the little place
around the corner from us on Columbus in New York
. rereading The Professor's House, remembering how
much I love Willa Cather
. learning about
cooking with lemon leaves, apparently common in Italy
. counting my
blessings
