Periodically even the great and powerful Sarah needs an attitude adjustment... what with all the financial turmoil and the fact that she deals in an expendable commodity. A commodity an awful lot like dancing, or live theater, or puppetry, but with less motion.So Sarah tries to concentrate on those things that make her life fabulous and worthwhile.
The accompanying image looks a little bleak- no? Actually it is quite lovely. It is to help you visualize her nightly walk with her dog after dinner. The vernal Equinox has passed making evening walks a little dark. Normally this might be depressing but our optimistic hero & heroine make the best of it. It is an opportunity to rely on all senses. As we near the river a cool breeze rolls around us. We can hear the rustle of the birch trees towards the far side of the yard. And the earthy smell of turned soil tells us we have neared the most recent gardening project. And the most favored of experiences- We can see the slender stalks of Karl Foerster Grass, despite the dark, swaying slowly letting us know to take a sharp right around the end of the garden.
Things feel uncertain, but there are still pleasures in life. And as Henry would say- still plenty of things to piss on.

You managed to find the golden side of black here. Perhaps you have a future in motivational counseling.
I think you could be anywhere with Henry, and outside and you would be happy.
"When it is dark enough, you can see the stars". Some Zen guy said that.
So here's to looking for the stars.
