Uninstalling Chaos
My artwork-making space has become less and less suited to its purpose thanks to my lack of organizational sense. I give myself till a minute till midnight New Year’s Eve to make this space comfortably operational. My strategy will be to do an equivalent of an App Uninstall: get everything off this work surface, then judiciously place a minimum of necessary things on it, avoiding the chaos of Clutter. There’s a lovely word for the reversal of Entropy, which is a lovely word for Chaos: Enthalpy. Friends, here’s wishing you a grand and enthalpic New Year.
urban vegan beans
It is a new year. What better way to start a healthy culinary journey than at the all-Vegan café Urban Beans?
Here is Pumpkin Curry with a side of brown rice. The urban-beaned Coffee is laced with almond milk and plain granulated sugar. The book is by world-renowned health guy Andrew Weil, M.D., and I intend to live, breathe, and, yes, Eat it until I know it backwards and forwards.
I could not remember if I’d done a double-acrostic Urban Beans before, but was sure I’ve never done “urban vegan beans,” so

Steps Paths Plans
It is natural on New Year’s Eve to reassess, evaluate, and resolve to change certain things. It’s less conventional to do it on the 10th of May, but that’s what happened in 2008 for me, as pictured above. Back in May of 08 my journal pages featured the date more prominently. Later that same year, as seen below, the date became a footnote to my signature. Judging from the message of the page, it must’ve been a bleak November…
But 2012 has been far from bleak. I leave it in better health than I entered it, and with love and light abounding, and 2013 promises yet more transcendence. Reader, may your 2013 be your best year yet.
Try NEW Out
It’s Christmas morning, 5:08 AM local time as I type. The houseguests and the significant other sleep soundly, I hope. Soon the year will end.
In 2010 I encouraged readers of my journal pages to “Try NEW Out.” In 2013 I will be taking my own advice.
Happy Holiday, whatever your holiday may be!
