It’s hot (for me…), which comes as a relief despite my love of winter, or at least the clothing of winter.

I’ve been enjoying the frisson my job teaching at the university brings me. Deadlines, a reason for being a mentor and watching the students flourish and grow under the same scrutiny and pressure I did as the academic year closes.

Today as I write I’ve been missing my love, Kaveh, who is writing on a retreat with cows and bucolic such and such. I know when its love, the itching fades to a lull-an ache that says, I leave you now in this moment… just so I can come back to you again.

I’m back in my studio working, nursing the high tinnitus sound that screeches and only softens when I make work again, so I’m human again. Home, in equanimity.
