I read a very interesting article in a back issue of the New Yorker about Santiago Calatrava. He's an artist disguised as an architect. Some others in his profession mentioned are Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, and Zaha Hadid. I like them all. What was most interesting in the article was that it indicated that Calatrava and his wife speak to each other principally in German, his fifth language and her second. I'm clearly impressed that they have mastered German (and assuming all the other tongues) to such a degree that they can communicate complex and intimate thought.

Emailed from my friend Rita, a poem by Mary Oliver:
"Listen, are you breathing just a little,
and calling it a life?...
For how long will you continue to
listen to those dark shouters,
caution and prudence?
Fall in! Fall in!"
