Week Five

The snow has begun.
I feel swept along by quakes.
Lead me to my joy.

Whales Tails

Week four of movie
It quickly becomes your life
Forgetting yourself

Indian Summer

Gratefulness is bliss.
Smooth energy helps me love.
The bed is perfect.

Monet Summer Song

Each day more sunlight is lost and the mornings are dark.
I'm sappy about summer's demise.
There was a dusting of snow on the mountains in the east.
Today I look again at my love.
Remembering how to embrace the wonder of each man.
Could be I'm the luckiest woman alive?
Happiness rests in my heart today.
Working hard can do that.
Peace is in my breath and touch.

Easy To Be Hard

I'm working on the 'Whales' movie as a Set Dresser. A difficult job. I would like to finish the shoot, but it will be a huge challenge. In matters of the heart, I feel as if the rain pours nothing but tears this morning. Summer ends in Alaska and I shudder to think the deep freeze is coming. It has been the best summer of my life. It's up to me to embrace unconditional love. That is not an easy thing.

Yum Yum

China Town, China Town! My new favorite restaurant in Anchorage, Alaska. The service is great. The food is superb. I like everything about this unassuming jewel in the Government Hill neighborhood. I especially enjoyed the dumplings/pot stickers. They are undeniably the tastiest, pillow like, steamed and then fried, delicious delicacy that I have had the pleasure of placing in my mouth in many, many moons. I have eaten many a dumpling in my gastronomic career, but these pockets of spiced pork are the real, deal, Chinese meal. The dumplings are served with a soy dipping sauce with chopped green onions, but you can also ask for the spicy sauce that's a pulverized red chili paste. The complimentary appetizer at China Town is pickled vegetables. Broccoli, potato and cabbage, each one more interesting than the next. I also highly recommend the sautéed, spicy eggplant that was like eating purple velvet. China Town has two menus. One menu for the folks who want Chinese/American, and one menu for those who want world class Chinese Cuisine. Next time we try the crab, which isn't on the menu. You have to know somebody and call days in advance to order. More please! China Town Restaurant, 836 East Loop Road. For more information: 272-8390 or 274-3322.

Wake Up And Smell The Coffee

I study every sign post.
When the sun is out I challenge myself to get out.
Putting down all my projects in favor of a stroll, hike, or climb.
The smell of summer in Alaska is heaven.
Even though my boundaries are sketchy at times,
I am aware that I have grown and have a deeper understanding.
Face it and actualize your dreams.
