If I dreamed last night, it was probably about horses. Saw the Seabiscuit movie last night. Good flick where the littlest horse wins. A great story and a well done film version. Anyway, if I dreamed, I'm sure it was about horses is some way, shape or form.

Funny incident happened as L and I watched the movie. At one point, she turned to me and rattled off a string of thoughts in Finnish. When she realized what she was doing, we both had a good laugh at what happened. I'm sure I had this puzzled look on my face as she was midstream in her statement. It was a crack up once we both realized what was going on.

L and I went to a street fair this morning. She bought, you guessed it, a painting of some horses. It was done by an artist who painted nearly photographic quality images--amazing images that really engaged to eye/brain system. He used a variety of media (watercolor, pastel, oil, etc.), but the result was really engaging images. L bought a high desert scene of four wild horses running along a ridge trail in Nevada. She bought a print (originals were well priced, but still a bit costly).

We walked the fair and stopped for breakfast at Jessie Kool's place. I had a delicious bread pudding. Jessie walked by and we exchanged hellos. Hadn't seen her in quite some time.

Turned in my final rent check for la casa de Pereyra--or so I plan. There is a temptation to hang on here because it doesn't require any effort on my part. But, I know it's time for a shift, a change, a stir of the creative pot. H & C asked how my writing was going. I had to admit not well. Not anything productive so far. Lots of emptying and words being accumulated, but not much of substance or import.

At the art fair, also saw some embroidery work that was amazingly exquisite. Scenes rendered in silken threads. Beautiful, intricate work.

Have one month to locate a new place, move and settle in, again. I know what I'm looking for at this juncture. Have made my list and am checking it twice. Feel that I need 6- to 12-months here in this area to smooth out my psycho/physical issues and establish my rhythms. Then can move on to the next venue, whatever that may be.

Have to pass on Baja for now. And concentrate on creating a supportive space for what I need to be doing, must be doing if I am to go to the next level with everything. The time is now--as it always seems to be.
