         Fear is an occasional visitor.  Comes unexpectedly and wants to settle in my body. If I can focus on his moment. Am I OK in this moment? Yes, I am OK.  It is the future that scares me. The fear retreats. I smile this morning in the fog, with seagulls calling, and dogs barking.  All is good.

         Watched another poignant and funny short episode of HOW TO WITH JOHN WILSON on MAX. Then a longer episode of the slick show SUITS on netflix.

         I continue to read slowly BEING MORAL by Atul Gawande. I am not sure what to say about it, very interesting and a bit scary to read as a 83 year old woman who sometimes is hesitant of the future. The other book I am reading is THE UNDYING. A Meditation on Modern Illness, by Anne Boyer.

My personal librarian friend will be returning today from Tassajara. The books are piling up. I am looking forward to hearing the news from the mountains.
