LINES OF THE DAY

". . . But the past does not exist independently from the present. Indeed, the past is only past because there is a present, just as I can point to something over there only because I am here. But nothing is inherently over there or here. In that sense, the past has no content. The past -- or more accurately, pastness -- is a position. Thus, in no way can we identify the past as past." p. 15

". . . But we may want to keep in mind that deeds and words are not as distinguishable as often we presume. History does not belong only to its narrators, professional or amateur. While some of us debate what history is or was, others take it into their own hands." p. 153

Rain periodically.  Perfume scented steam bath.  The vegetation riots.  Brunch at Satsuma's.

Walking back from the studio to the house after the thunderboomers yesterday, in that balmy soft New Orleans in July Sunday afternoon air, the folks piled up around Markey's (either to re-watch Spain beat the Netherlands, or to celebrate the win -- not sure which) -- I thought, "I want to live here forever."

Erk.

Love, C.

The place really gets under your skin, doesn't it?
