I'd like to wish everyone a happy "Anniversery of the Purchase of Alaska" Day! The day that we decided that there was gold to be got in that great frozen gorgeous land and promptly purchased it from the Russians.
It is also "Corinne jumps full on back into yoga day", and I keep wobbling and tripping into people's way, because I feel like jelly all over! Man, all of that driving back and forth between Santa Fe and Austin and the Grand Canyon and West Texas and whowhatsit to wheredoneit, plus some other life factors, has really janked my body up all weird. So today I got up after a whopping five hours of restless sleep and went to heated power yoga...not the easiest reentry point to the practise, but boy did it feel wonderfully intense! In a few hours I'm off to a meditation and breathing workshop for a little more centreing, then it's music with two of my favourite lovely ladies out at the farm. Gonna play the cello for the donkeys. Afterwards I will stumble, delirious in the bliss of it all, to an Irish session at my friend's home. What a lovely way to end a day chock full of all the things my soul and my body love!
But in this hour pause before any of that stuff, I am attempting to put in my writing time for the day. Poems about shyness and measuring people by brightness, and a few sentences added to tht torturous conversation between Adam and Simon. This is going to take a little slogging through, this scene. But onward and upward! The family dinner with Jocelyn, Beatrice, Simon, and Adam continues! Just to toss out a little more information for the sake of context, Jocelyn=one of the protagonists, and is Adam's sister. Beatrice is Adam and Jocelyn's mother, and Simon the father. Zoom in on typical Victorian family dinner setting, brace of pheasant and all, spiced up with a not-so-typical conversation involving alchemy, the clergy, the East India Company, and some dubious magicians.
