Sea Change

   After August in transit, a little stability has been welcome. Returning home was an exhalation- a necessary opportunity to slow down, lay anchor, and focus.

   Back in Los Angeles, I've started several paintings, finished a new book (Novella Carpenter's Farm City), and am deep in the graduate application process. Between the NSF grant and application essays, I am writing, writing, writing. This should all be finished by early November. After that, I'll turn my attention to the next adventure, whatever it may be.
