Haunting Design Blogged

My writing ways and practice needs to be intensified.  I’m not consistent t, I notice that.  In a hotel room with the Nurse, in Marin.  She in shower and me gathering a couple minutes to collect on a page.  This is on me, this writing life. If I’m to make this work and take her and I around the world.

We hike Mt. Tam today.  First time I’ve ever done that.  The images and feel, temperature fluctuations had me feeling what Mr. Kerouac felt at Sur.  The trees and dark areas, moss on rocks…

Today has been interesting, and not in any dismissively critical way.  Nurse teaching me more about life and happiness, Mental Health, how to acquire or just grab what’s needed to make you happy.

Her and I having a drink on the rooftop of RH in Corte Madera teaching me that I need more of that — THAT.

Antithetical to my past life.  No more of that, the shootouts in a kitchen, berated and henpecked.  

DONE.

This is now and my Now and our NOW.

This hotel room, reminding me of HST, F&L in Las Vegas.  For some reason, I don’t know why… the 70s/80s-ish decor, furniture, I don’t know.  But I’m in that writer mode.

Lofi beats playing, sipping some Rosé from the Total Wine nearby, less than a block distant, that is a bit sweet but lively and perfect for this room.

Nearly time for me to shower for dinner.  Going somewhere to Bocca I think it’s called and spelled, in the Corte Madera mall.  Only seen in, but never been.

HAPPINESS… the only mission.  And not just for me and the Nurse but the kids.  The story, STORY, is starting.  New Beat and consistency, Composition.  Grateful.. write it all.  Touch others.  No stopping.  Keep the Beat complete and in its needed lead.
