Perfect Fall Day...
...cool, crisp, but not too....sunny and gently breezy...the way a day is meant to be...deeply invigorating....lovely...
No response yet to any of my questions previously posted...it would seem that common sense would answer most of them....that being said, a public blog, with any hopes of offending no one at all, will have to skate along the surface of many subjects...to strongly express opinion or critique is bound to hurt someone somewhere sometime....even if it is only a personal opinion, reflecting no others...and all my life, since my first journal when I was 15 years old, i have worked hard to write exactly what i was thinking and feeling...this is obviously not the thing to do in a public blog...ergo, thereby, a personal public blog becomes rather an ad site, a place for a "pitch", a place with a purpose: to make people happy and make them like you....to sell something. And, why not?
The world is to full of wonderful things, odd things, good and bad things, ups and downs, not to observe and enjoy and discuss them all...honest discourse...expression of thought...should everyone agree? Of course not. Do we all need to be "handled"? Hardly. The most refreshing and empowering people seem to be the ones who speak what they feel and think, directly and clearly. They are usually the ones with genuine affection intheir hearts for others, so their direct communications come out as creative and inspiring. Perhaps, at times, angry-making...but good honest anger has its place.
Enough on that, however. Enough already.
Peter and I hung a lot of art on our walls last night, finally, after being home 9 months, and it looks so good....we decided not to wait til we re-paint, which depends on when the windows are replaced, which depends on a Board decision which always seems just around the corner from being made....i trust it will be made in time, and meanwhile, we wanted to put some art on the walls...it looks so good. And there is more to hang. We have already collected so much as a couple, since we bought a lot at the yearly Virginia Highlands Festival in Abingdon, and now we are so glad we began to collect there...there is one engraver/print maker named John Furches whose work we became really hungry for, and we bought a lot: beautiful engravings of old buildings and interesting houses, old and full of character. The one he did of the Barter Theatre itself is really lovely. But we bought a lot more than that.
I feel so comfortable in this apartment of ours. Even though things are not set yet as we want them to be. It feels more and more like our home.
Tomorrow are the 2 performances of Peter's show at the NYMusical Theater Festival ...i will go to one of them....down on 45th Street.
My first Festival show ever....i'm interested, and look forward to it.
Bye for now. xxev
