Snippet

Been reading more of Yourgrau, lately, namely, "The Sadness of Sex". Its slightly more contrived than "Wearing Dad's Head," but has its moments.

One story in particular is about a woman's disembodied sex which, having run away from home and gone violent, must be subdued and coaxed back through digital and oral ministrations. Indeed.

Other news: just got back from a weekend up north (namely, Cottonwood) with M. We'd gone up to visit Mom and help with a few things around the house.

On the drive up the sky had that surreal look which makes you question,slightly, the fabric of reality. The sky just looked too... perfect, as if it had been put there for our amusement or distraction.

M made reference to Maya and the veil. Some such.

On the way back, we stopped at Arcosanti, a side trip we'd been threatening to make for a while.

I'd recently re-read Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" and gotten turned on to Frank Lloyd Wright (again) so it seemed perfectly appropriate to add Paolo Soleri to the mix.
