whirlwind in a teapot

i have been chastised for not blogging in a month... my life is so facinating everyone wants the vicarious thrill of being in my aura ~even if its only online!

i gave a reading from eating god at busters in culver city last monday night. it was great. my short films were playing in the garden as people arrived. between two and ten minutes each, the films were a good expression of my artwork and people loved them. the actress ingez rameau and i alternated reading poems from my book. she was perfect and i was very lucky to work with her. there was flute music, handmade chocolate, wine, and much conversation ~everyone staying later than expected. my hostess tina was wonderful and i will definitely stage a performance there again.

the pottery show in pasadena was last weekend and it was grueling. the pack-in was a nightmare because of parking problems extrordinaire and i considered not doing the show again. i hadnt slept much for a few days (did you get an email from me at 4am?) and doing even the easiest show would tire someone fresh. but i sold some decent pots and visited with some friends. and signed up for next year.

tomorrow i will go to palm springs for the day. bob and i are going to the modernism show opening in the evening then driving back. before the opening, i will sell some pots to a shop there and look around for deals and wonderful things... but every dealer will have been through the town for the last couple days so im not sure there will be much. nevertheless its always a nice but long day.

the last month has been a busy hectic whirlwind of art, friends and guests, spiritual healing, feng shui, travel... and ocassionally sleep... i separated from the blessings center and in this time of an over-full schedule, i am grateful for the extra quiet and easiness. there was interest in my house but the buyers had some bad advice and i have no interest in being involved in that karma. i will be in the bay area next week to teach the feng shui workshop i am teaching twice this weekend in la. after that, i go to dallas.

i will try to be better about documenting my life for you. wait til i update you on the handmade book!
