I want to write books that unlock the traffic jam in everybody's head…John Updike
6:20 on 6/20 in Malibu at Starbucks on Cross Creek. My heart throbs today. The first full bright sunrise all month. Too bright. Solstice? Tomorrow 4:28 AM. Took the first shot at 5:41 in Santa Monica. Thought the mountains were a cloud bank so decided to come to Malibu which I love to do anyway and so came even after I realized those clouds were actually the mountains. A perfect drive on a perfect day. No Katherine Keener today but Frank’s here. Doesn’t feel like a Sunday. Choir singing on Saturday will do that. Plus the announcement of a choir concert on October 15 that no one had yet heard about. SAVE THE DATE the poster blares from the Great Hall of Agape. OK good, half-page not writing about w-a-i-t-i-n-g for an e-mail. Could fill a half page with speculations about where he is as why he hasn’t yet responded to my wit….but I’d rather right something about w-a-i-t-i-n-g in surrender to Divine Will. Which I’m about as good at as w-a-i-t-i-n-g for the sunrise. Switching target venues when it ain’t up yet. Always meaning to bring the sun’s light into my heart, only occasionally remembering that I mean to do that. Practice. Maybe I’ll remember after I meet him once he answers his e-mail…practice. I’ve just about rehearsed those meeting scenarios enough. Practiced.
