A Journal of Days: Curtains, Energy, Entertainment

Curtains, Energy, Entertainment

1. The breeze flutters the curtains at the windows.
2. A rampage of house work. I enjoy this burst of energy and where it gets me.
3. I sit under a tree with the elderly landlady of the property next door. From our vantage point we watch the tractors bale hay on two fields as though we are watching a performance.

A RAMPAGE of housework. I like that. I'm a clean freak.

That must have been nice, sitting under the tree with the old lady watching hay being baled. What a life.

"The world is fairly studded and strewn with pennies cast broadside from a generous hand. But who gets excited by a mere penny?...It is dire poverty indeed when a man is so malnourished and fatigued that he won't stoop to pick up a penny. But if you cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity, so that finding a penny will literally make your day, then, since the world is in fact planted with pennies, you have with your poverty bought a lifetime of days. It is that simple. what you see is what you get."
