In correspondence with a friend, I said: you can't keep lightning in a jar but you can stand in a rainstorm holding the broken wings of a blasted umbrella and ask the sky to strike you over and over.

I started this when I lived in Brooklyn and struggled for grace in a city that grants moments of beauty and ugliness breathtakingly close to one another. Now I live in a place where things are a different kind of ugly and the beauty is pedestrian. I struggle with that.

Too true. Hope all is reasonably well.
Yes, I think all is rather well. This discussion was about passion, how to locate it, how to keep burning. I was reading old correspondence last night, and I liked this phrase.
Happy spring to you! You are earlier than us, again this year, but not by much!
Yes, hooray for spring: it's supposed to be 70 today.
I think that what I meant to say yesterday was, "Yes, I do this too."
