Back to writing, reading and editing ... Menstrual fluids?

I'm working on my wrings from November 2011 letters, found in a new folder: "This and Every November (prose letters) " .

I have 8 done and 33 more to go. We shall see ... some are a bit touchy, but so far so good.

me:

Last night for "Wild Mercies", a program of the Environmental Studies writing program, Melissa Wardlow presented a short piece on using menstrual fluids for fertilizer. I was stunned. Well-written and thought out. Needs a bit of editing, but I think it's publishable in a gardening magazine ...and told her so ...and told her professor as well. When did she write it? The day before! Double stunned. So much talent ...

I'm reading "Phantom" by Jo Nesbø and the Selected Poems of Langston Hughes. Nesbø's intro is shattering. Whether one continues reading or not ...it'll stick with you. I've read Langston Hughes before, but gawd ...talent. The poems for children are charming and some of the political poems are still relevant today.

At Empathy Group: "I mentioned ... that I'm conflicted. Montana and Costa Rica both provide for some of my needs, but not all. Kansas is still 'home' in a way but doesn't satisfy me totally either. I haven't found the 'special' place." [on page 3292 of my journal]

So, yesterday was a good day. And so far today is too.
