chilmark day three
it is a quiet evening here in Chilmark, Mass. I can hear the crickets outside as the darkness settles in around the commune. the last day or so has eased in, i arrived here very upset and in desperate need for a change. i am finally settling in, and suspect that a few more days and i will feel really relaxed here. i had a lot to say before but i don't feel it's necessary to write much tonight. there are spiders on the wall. daddy long legs are like dancers with their thin legs, but i do not like them. yet, i have not been able to kill them-- i just do not feel the need.
today i awoke at six a.m., showered and crept down the stairs, careful not to wake my roommates. i went down the gravel rode to take a seven a.m. yoga class, followed by an eight a.m. meeting. later in the afternoon i went to the grocery store in edgartown, which is thirty minute ride which i drove down back roads and windy paths, careful of bikers and pedestrians. on the way back, i got a little lost and wound up at a beach but the beauty of the bay and the yachts and boathouses, the white pale sand was totally worth it.
cleaned a lot again today. the attic bedroom is now in good shape. i took a picture after the cleaning but not before ... if you only knew. made some zucchini and red onions from the farm share. some pasta and steak from the market. read some of simone forte's handbook in motion. she speaks motions. i am completely immersed and will quote her quite soon.
i took a video of me dancing:
it's just a little solo improvisation. nothing special but thought i would post it here.
also took some pictures tonight, here are the one's i most love:
view from the water.
the house i am currently living in.

and here is a picture of me in the midst of adjusting to a new and wondrous place:
yayy. :) peas and love, m
