Sky as female

 

Things pass into and out of the female body and women have to learn about and own this traffic as personal and continuous.  It's hard to keep pace, it's exulting, it's unknowable, we fall behind in the accounting. 

At heart, our relationship to time is a slave relationship. 

Interesting ideas from Rachel Cusk's essay about Louise Bourgeois' textile works in the Woven Child.

Two poems

"I like beautiful things that have a use."  said Louise Gluck (winner of the 2021 Nobel prize for literature) when asked why she liked ceramics.

the mothers

to create stitched artwork, the first step is wounding, piercing.  

Pragmatic

To Sleep longer

 Trying for seven hours of sleep a night. 

Time is the material

 Time independent from me.  Time going on without my intervention, even if I don’t pay attention .  Even if I don’t take a photo or make a note in my diary. 

Time is irreversible.  Time is rhythm and flux.  Time is continuous, even when things within it discontinue.  

And even with a diary, even with noticing, paying attention, yet time is passing anyway.  Time is being used up.  

Cosmic Law

 If you keep working on old ideas, new ones can’t show up.
