I am grateful for him today, have been grateful for him these past months- for the way he sings me to sleep and his honest expressions. I am grateful that he holds me tight and lets me go when I want to play, and that he calls me back with strong arms. and I am grateful that I am not afraid of him. I wonder how long this will last.
the Menil Collection "brings together, under one roof, idiosyncratic and disjunctive bodies of material not usually found together in either a single exhibition or collection."

I have been depending on other people's art and writings, finding myself underlining sentences, paragraphs, scribbling names, dates and mediums- I hope this period of unproductivity passes me by soon, in some time I think- I'll be ready to produce some more.

Prospective identification or as Walter would say, I am post-"insert" or pre-"insert". then again, there is something vital in being in one's present.
