Poems, Minuet, Fox Fire
I wrote/revised poems, learned a Finnish minuet on fiddle,
and, in a fury of needing to be with the day-long Finnish
sunset, I painted a series of color studies while looking out
the window. I took notes as well for the artist residency I
direct, Orein Arts (orein.org), to see what good things to take
back there. Also cooked a lot and saw the light you can hear.
