glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the alienation of the artist It is 2:05 PM Monday afternoon HERE where flocks of crows gather for a time of cawing. It is 86 degrees today and it predicted to get hotter as we drift towards the end. I got up this morning around 6:15 AM. I was up early because I was having a head pounding DREAM where I could not get to where I wanted to go. I have these intense dreams where I know where I want to go but can't find a way to get there. In these dreams I wind-up going in circles and never getting to where I want to go. There is something always preventing me from arriving at the place I want to be. So I got up and found Carol up and getting ready to go for a walk before it got hot. When I get up in the morning it takes me awhile to wake-up. I like to wake-up slowly, no noise, no rushing to arrive at the next road block. When Carol got back from her walk we had devotions. After devotions I wrote in my paper diary and then read till Noontime from a book titled, 'The Wells of Salvation' by William Spurstowe. Carol was gone this morning doing errands. She is now waiting to go pick up Josie from basketball game. I have been reading/getting back into reading a book I was reading awhile back titled, 'Danube' travel writing by Claudio Magris Translated from the Italian by Patrick Creagh. Last night I read from a used book I got in the mail YESTERDAY titled, 'Serpent In Eden: H. L. Mencken and the South' a literary study/biography by Fred Hobson. I recently found used at a local Goodwill Thrift Store Fred Hobson's biography on Mencken titled, 'Mencken: A Life'. Yesterday afternoon a friend of mine stopped by for a short visit. It was nice to see my friend Tim. I suppose I will close to drift. 2:25 p.m. - 2023-07-25 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
