I've been working hard (well, hard for me) in the studio, and on my web-page. I'm really struggling with my poverty though, and to add extra pressure, got wait-listed for the Baltimore ACC Show, which is usually my main money maker of the year, so.....<br />

I think more than that, I've had to deal with the fact that I'm struggling with motivation when it comes to physical activity. Ever since I had Lyme's Disease, I've felt tired and so I've gotten out of shape.

I'm trying to mainly come to turns with being poor, which is really hard. I have to depend on a lot of people, which I've never had to do before, and I HATE IT!!

More tests it seems. But Sky and I had a wonderful time at Universal Studios, I just wish that I had a camera to record my pale window, my boy on our adventures.<br />

But there it is. I've had a few sad days.<br />
<br />
My daughter's stillborn day.<br />
The day I had to tell Sky about his father's death.<br />
My own father's death.<br />
<br />
But I have to interject something here, maybe off the point, because my mind is just rambling now. I remember a few years, this same daughter called, on her way to the Emergency Room, could I meet her there? I don't remember what was wrong, a miscarriage, I think, but it could have been something else. I don't think I want to remember. But I was also in a black-out drunk. Because that was what I did in those days. I don't remember much, but I know I made a drunken scene in the ER, I do know I was of no help whatsoever to Kathy. <br />
So, I should be grateful (small mercies) that I could be there for her this time. Hold her hand through the whole birth, knowing what was coming, but not knowing yet the look of anguish only a mother can have for her lost child.<br />
<br />
I hope I never know that. It's been my biggest worry with this child for the past 10 (12?) years. <br />
<br />

My darling daughter's baby died, just a few days ago. We still don't know why she died. There is a photograph, now, of my own daughter, looking very much like the young woman in the previous photo, holding her baby, with that same struck look on her face......<br />
<br />
I never hope to see that look again.<br />

(true?) life. I was living in a dry, hot place, with swept pine floors, the color of dark amber. On the mantel were shards - of glass, of clay; the shards of glass reflecting colors to the ceiling. The walls were hung with memento mori......of whom I don't know, children and old ladies. The curtains were woven of cobwebs and black bombazine. I wore my long hair up in a pile held together with barkless twigs. Outside the dusty windows was my garden. I grew only tumbleweeds.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05311445160669353519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890851164110257085.post-76447237116414112922010-11-18T19:07:00.001-08:002010-11-18T19:07:51.191-08:00Interview<a href="http://www.chestertownspy.com/spy-profile-faith-wilson/">http://www.chestertownspy.com/spy-profile-faith-wilson/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05311445160669353519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890851164110257085.post-19293362478342504402010-11-01T14:08:00.000-07:002010-11-01T14:08:47.472-07:00Duffman!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGLXDk-eFrT-1cTdCY7giT1t8pfBEpXjJBEUddkJzaUpqhzN_3tuMfjvxkzXDo6AxRKFofsI7C2ekXkclGSdANt_YG8ABUzkr9QZwqJq5xCVCQbsWEgYG4k8IQQ1-m68kpMTMbGRe6Tkbs/s1600/wduffman2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGLXDk-eFrT-1cTdCY7giT1t8pfBEpXjJBEUddkJzaUpqhzN_3tuMfjvxkzXDo6AxRKFofsI7C2ekXkclGSdANt_YG8ABUzkr9QZwqJq5xCVCQbsWEgYG4k8IQQ1-m68kpMTMbGRe6Tkbs/s320/wduffman2.jpg" width="149" /></a>Happy Halloween!!</div><br />

</div>It's funny where your thoughts take you when you don't even know you're going anywhere.<br />
<br />
Last night I woke up to a crash of thunder so loud the whole house shook. I sat up in bed expecting the sky to turn red with a nuclear flash, and felt a strong twinge in my heart for the little boy in the room next to mine who would never see the rest of the world....<br />
"Its only thunder", said my friend, lying in his own satori next to me.<br />
<br />
Later, walking down my road, i saw the sun reflected in the storm-made ponds in the field, and there were gulls around the the puddles, and their sound made me stop and breathe in, and I could almost smell the ocean (small oceans in the corn field) which took me back to so many places......<br />
yesterday I had three (count 'em, three) messages from the past. A man who I'd travelled with in my youth, another old friend whose wife had died suddenly last week, and a cousin I haven't seen for years. These voices all gave me pause to think about where I am, and where I've been. A man who hasn't seen me for over 30 years......what do we look like to each other? A man who's wife was here one day and gone the very next, and she was my same age. A cousin who has travelled a parallel life to mine, probably the same inside but very different on the outside. What are we, floating bits of atomic matter, made up of circumstance more than anything else?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05311445160669353519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890851164110257085.post-57046315805855483792009-10-16T21:02:00.000-07:002009-10-16T21:03:33.295-07:00Cold and RainyIts been a cold and rainy week.

My car is still broken, which is so sad because I'm not sure how much longer my dear old pick-up truck is going to last.<br />
<br />
Sky is fine. He is so cute and funny. I'm really lucky.<br />
<br />
I've been working on getting the studio ready for winter, because I've got a lot of work to do......tomorrow I'll pick up a pellet stove, so it will be nice and cozy. Last winter was too cold.<br />
<br />
So this weekend is the opening at Adkins Arboretum. And Jamie's birthday party which is an extremely BIG deal. There will be 1000 balloons. I hope Sky doesn't fly away.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05311445160669353519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890851164110257085.post-48994866987186288172009-10-09T08:34:00.000-07:002009-10-09T08:34:17.286-07:00Long Weekend and Pride<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL3vX-wCTZqZgmbhiomMzWYTYxSjrqEWU0QPzg1LWy31UNMM9G_5nWURdJZzFryqaFj3SGGu3KAQq82l4-s0rKykgwSdw5HEjaIvWv7QXApIiR3c6UFk3wWJPhyphenhyphenrvhyAKBkVl_fCtQPkoY/s1600-h/julian-schnabel's-house.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL3vX-wCTZqZgmbhiomMzWYTYxSjrqEWU0QPzg1LWy31UNMM9G_5nWURdJZzFryqaFj3SGGu3KAQq82l4-s0rKykgwSdw5HEjaIvWv7QXApIiR3c6UFk3wWJPhyphenhyphenrvhyAKBkVl_fCtQPkoY/s320/julian-schnabel's-house.jpg" /></a><br />

<br />
Today I'm feeling proud of being an American. Its so cool that President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. And he hasn't done anything yet, but try to be a good guy, and everybody (well, excepting a lot of Americans) all over the world Love him and think he's good.<br />
<br />
What a difference!<br />

So I'm in my usual pre-show frenzy. Regretting all the time I wish I'd spend doing this and that. Oh well, I've got a lot of work already, it's just become a habit to pull a few all day/nighters pre-show. I'm not even sure why I'm bothering except that I've already paid the fees. I don't anticipate a high turn out. I'll be glad when it's over, just so I can get some work done on the house and garden. I can't wait for Spring!!</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1InT5z155-g9b0WepQ9UiNcbmZ8q-IH2mZ-TsBzGr8dlVo8-U2JWm_ldnaUy0NfhYKMyt1LkwYTM3hBi2r6sQEMjrPPMKihAimw4uyxlXEQ4xdWFxsOWdmQ_AEJXUc9pi2lF73H82ZwqD/s1600-h/emilys+house.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1InT5z155-g9b0WepQ9UiNcbmZ8q-IH2mZ-TsBzGr8dlVo8-U2JWm_ldnaUy0NfhYKMyt1LkwYTM3hBi2r6sQEMjrPPMKihAimw4uyxlXEQ4xdWFxsOWdmQ_AEJXUc9pi2lF73H82ZwqD/s320/emilys+house.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305666456808503858" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05311445160669353519noreply@blogger.com0
