I love the clothes!

I don't go out much, so I do the same thing! Hand wash a few things, but wear same thing too! Less wash, less water use. πŸ’§ πŸ‘πŸ˜‰β˜ΊοΈ

Hi Patti. I am enjoying Rimbaud month. Your videos are never too long. I appreciate the book recommendations and having fun tracking them down. All so appreciated.

I think I first read the John Ashbery translation of Illuminations. He was still alive when I started my visual adaptation of Illuminations in grad school and when I wrote to him I was given permission to hang his translations next to my artworks in our university exhibition. (The pieces I was showing contained Rimbaud's poems in the original French as visual elements within the artworks but I wanted viewers in London to be able to read the text)

A poetic utopian saga of everything that exists, for it exists and remains.. A dance poem of how dancing led to a united aura of world release while the brave attained enlightenment.

As far as I’m concerned you can ramble on for ever Patti . I never tire of listening to your voice, in its own way it’s like listening to you reciting poetry in a meditative way.

Thank you for Bob and very good luck at the dentist πŸ™

Rambling on Rimbaud sounds like a Bob Dylan song.

I'm reminded of Albert Einstein and his comfortable looking outfit he wore every day. Economy of time.

what the surreality of the mirroring screen provides those books makes these videos very dreamlike in a Lynchian way πŸ˜„

Hope all went well at the dentist! sort of off topic. I prefer Nina Simone's cover of tom thumb blues...the tempo and mood seem more suitable to Dylan's original song...if that doesn't sound nuts.

This is off topic, but I need help….is there anyway to view Activity separated from Notes…the way it was prior to Notes being introduced? I prefer the way the interface was prior to Notes. Thank you.
