"I am trying to hold in one steady glance / all the parts of my life." — Adrienne Rich, from the poem "Toward the Solstice"

Rainy Friday

July 18, 2008

Here’s the video for the song “Rain” by Patty Griffin. It’s the opening track on her album A Thousand Kisses, and it’s incredible and simply beautiful.

It was cloudy as we were driving to work this morning, and within ten minutes after Jeff dropped me off, the rain had started. It’s not too bad, but might have thunderstorms later today.

I was awake for well over an hour during the night, and started a new book, Six Walks in the Fictional Woods by Umberto Eco. I read the first chapter. Needless to say, I’m tired this morning. But, thank God it’s Friday.
