Goodbye, house

I'M MOVING. Expect pictures starting Monday or Tuesday. I'm only moving next door, its not a huge deal, but I am very excited anyway.

Block

Writers block has gotten at me again. All I've written in the past 30 days is one crappy unfinished poem and reviews on the books I've been reading. Can't tell if this block, lock, wall (imagine a wall constructed of books in foreign languages surrounding you and high enough so that you cannot see out) is from the stress associated with moving, or because of cabin fever...or both.

On another note, Saturday I saw Iron Maiden! And Mastodon, and a ton of other excellent and glimmering metal bands at the first ever Montreal Heavy MTL festival. Really, it was magical.

Love,
Willow~

Under the Sign of Saturn

Under the Sign of Saturn: Essays by Susan Sontag

My review

Susan Sontag's collection of appreciations inspires me to read more, and to write better. I love the way she is able to say interesting and un-cliche things about authors that seem "untouchable" to regular people like myself. I'd recommend the title essay "Under the Sign of Saturn" first, as it is the most accessible.

June

June is an important month in the yearly cycle.

It is the halfway point in the calendar.

It is the beginning of Summer.

The Summer solstice and my favorite Sabbot is the 21st (Litha).

Irises and roses are beginning and about to POP open.

Thunder and Lightning Storms...
