September 13, 2010 the spiral jetty…
I went to The Spiral Jetty yesterday afternoon and had a good time, save for the part where I locked my keys in my car and had to break the back seat window in order to get my car unlocked so we could get out of there… Timing is everything sometimes… had it just been a little earlier in the day I might have had some help, but as it was it was the end of the day and I was the only one out there…

If you are in the Salt Lake area definitely go and check it out. There is a surreal aspect to the landscape and the art work itself. The salt crystals and the pink water were a trip. There were springs bubbling up out through the salt flats making large pools of water with giant salt crystals in them.
Now, I have bandages on my hands from getting cut by the glass and I have to repair a window and clean my car…

September 5, 2010 sunday morning…
It is Sunday morning and I should be outside in the warm sun. It will not be out for much longer around here apparently… It is one of those days where all my thoughts are racing and I am too slow to write any of them done or deal with them in any sort of practical manner. I feel useless, handicapped and utterly tired right now and it is only 9:30 in the morning… on a Sunday where I don’t have to work. Perhaps that is why. Having finally gotten a moment to sit and think about everything it has just overwhelmed me in a huge rush of a wave, smacking me in the face and washing me all the way up the valley behind me to the mountains on the east, tumbling and scrapping my hands and face all the way, just to be deposited high on the top of some lonely and desolate peak… dripping, cold and confused.
I have been making progress with my work space. I have all of my art supplies unpacked – they just need to be properly put away and organized so I actually have some room to work.
I am working on my second book. The first one is at the publishers, more on that soon…
