a quotable line

 "Always choose what pushes toward the future."  Guyotat, In the Deep, 185

24 July Thursday.  Crew slowly packing for jaunt south.  Willow and I walked from living room red chair to green chair in den.  Big coffee brown recliner lift chair now defines the great room.  Arlyn came to look over the lawn and hedges.  Doug popped over with question about whether plant in his hand was edible.  

Guyotat's book a surprise in most every way.  And it works with me now, for me now.  Strange to say.  Fascinating, really, his writing.  Interested in reading in other works to see how one relates to another.  In this one he is remembering/recreating his fifteenth year.  

One day with Brook.  Is she backing out of going on?  Note from Justin, he thinks Rachel wants to do Tuesdays.  Comfort Keepers has a woman who will start August 13?  Hourly now $47.00.  Going to call CK in Abq to see what their rate is.  $35 an hour plus 7.625 % state tax.  So 140. for four hours plus 10.68. Andrea just called back to recall our phone talk a year or so ago.  

Dennis may arrive in Philly by the end of the month.  He's so excited.  

Here crew still gathering for blast off.  Will they lunch before the wheels roll?  Or will they pack edibles and stop further down the road?  

Always choose what pushes toward the future.  

"The future is what doesn't yet exist; it's what I must create out of nothing: poetry and its double: the text of the deep--'beyond-creation.'" 185
