Swimming started this week--oh, how wonderful! That, too, makes summer seem here to stay...though it doesn't stay, and already I am aware how swiftly it will go by. I lap swim early, wash the chlorine out of my hair, and walk to work. Sometimes at work, during our 15-minute breaks, we take walks around town. Friday, we walked to the university library and saw a ceramics display, 100 pieces based on poems. I love my life.
In it, this lucky life, I am balancing my sorrow. And some ongoing stress. I am grateful I can do so. And glad that these clematis blooms opened on the fence, despite the weeks of drought. Some vines did not even produce buds. But seeds I planted at the re-mounted little free library did come up. More to be glad of and grateful for!Here is a link to Milner Library's ceramic exhibit!

Hi got here from Via Negativa..Glad to read your post. The ceramics exhibition based on poems sounds very interesting. Do you have a link to more information about it- would love to know how they were connected and displayed. Thanks so much!
Here is the link, Rajani, and I will try to edit my post to add it there, too!

Oh Wow! I have had Joshua Mostow's translation of Hyakunin isshu for a few years now and absolutely love it. Wish this exhibit would travel to India sometime. Brilliant idea. Thanks so much, Kathleen.
