Twin Peaks San Francisco, CA
View from the top of Twin Peaks showing the tight bend on the road up- with a few people walking on the road. The skyscrapers of downtown San Francisco are visible in the distance - but the hills beyond are obscured by smog. Above is a clear blue sky.

And in this long season of machines and mechanical will there have been small human acts of compassion, acts of care, work flowerlike in selfless loveliness. Leaving hope to the dark and to a better day, receive these beauties freely given, and give thanks. Wendell Berry

in lieu of a gift link, i'm offering a bare-bones version of my story Artemis, which originally appeared in Exacting Clam. just go to ulricahume.com/story-time/ and enter the password "readme"
She was a cleaner at the sperm bank. She wore a nametag that said Diana (the name of her predecessor), and a spiffy, peach-colored uniform, which drew attention to her cornflower eyes. She was uncommonly common...

A color photo of a beautiful autumn sunset. The sky is pale blue with peach colored clouds. The trees are silhouetted and dark against the sky. It's quite chilly outside. Photo by me.

There is in the word, in the logos, something sacred which forbids us to gamble with it. To handle a language skilfuly is to practice a kind of evocative sorcery. Baudelaire; tr. Théophile Gautier

your task is to serve this great enterprise, which takes place in the midheaven of the midheaven, everywhere at all times. the way we touch each other and change in the starbright darkness transforms and heals. the vision of a rabbit hopping across a road is symbolic of innocence leading the way.

To stay with that shakiness, to stay with a broken heart, with a rumbling stomach, with feeling hopelessness…that’s the path of the awakening. Sticking with that uncertainty, getting the knack of relaxing in the midst of chaos, learning not to panic — this is the spiritual path. ~ Pema Chodron
