Beginning November with April 1st

The April 1st Project continues, and I've really been enjoying cataloging the things that enter my life. While it's not a perfect snapshot, I am able to jot down quotes, lists of things to explore, URLs, etc. And while I try to add a post as frequently as possible, I find that I can get behind. Here's a catch up:

A quote by Jorge Luis Borges, from The Threatened One
"Being with you and not being with you is the only way I have to measure time."

Joaquin Torres Garcia - No longer living, but very relevant. The Menil has an impressive sampling of his work. More here. While I always enjoy discovering new artists, I wish I would have found him earlier.

Georgeanne Brennan puts on 'Provence in California' culinary weekends all year round.

From watching an Oprah podcast with Sarah Ban Breathnach - I must be the only person to have not read Simple Abundance - I jotted down three things worth remembering, although I suspect there are more gems with further study:

1. Gratitude is grace
2. The authentic self is the soul made visible
3. Regret is the only wound from which we don't recover

A few books to consider:

• I Love Your Voice by Selim Nassib
• Blue Window by Craig Lucas
• An Anatomy of Drama by Martin Esslin

And if you love theatre and/or opera, then I suggest you see the Alley's production of Gruesome Playground Injuries and HGO's Elixir of Love and Lohengrin. Time is running out and all three are worth it.

Below are a few of the journal pages:
