Found in my garden a couple weeks ago. Such a metaphor, this ugly piece of garbage tossed into what is beautiful.

Monday Midday, April 13

April 13, 2020

1) Keeping to a schedule is very helpful for me during this coronacrisis - not that I always do - but it helps with a sense of order at the end of the day. So far, today has been pretty good.

2) An elegant little luncheon of tuna salad with dill on a bed of greens. Presentation is everything.

2a) The secret ingredient is white pepper.

3) Lots of creative ideas spinning around today, due in part of keeping scheduled, but also to the anticipated Big Weather that is supposed to be coming sometime today. Everything feels unsettled.

4) Last night I did a tarot reading about the nation and the coronavirus, which I may post about in more detail later. So many interesting symmetries, transformation from one thing to another through the prism of sorrow and, potentially, ruin.
