One of the loveliest weeks of my entire eighty-something years, and I wouldn't swap it for a trip to Europe. Names were changed in my blog to protect You Know Who You Are.

Our Fairy Girl today, still sharing the magic that is KATIE.

THE WORK

In all art each one sees from experience, from shapes and lines, from squint and head-bend, from wishful thinking. My vision of the WORK is a single-bulb on a light cord from the ceiling, in a small yellow kitchen amongst the pushed-aside plate and ashtray on the table. Shoulders hunched over an old Underwood the size of an anvil, page halfway filled, and a story born and birthing in that light cast on the snow.
