Term 3, Day 5

Met with my new teacher, Bernard Cooper, today and went to a fantastic lecture by David Daniel on the imagination. So inspired and fired up -- one of those talks where everything converges and almost everything someone says, every reference raised somehow joins up the dots of an idea you were beginning to think about, in this case opening the self to the primary or primal imagination in order to make the words on the page hot with life -- getting naked on the page. Free night, so we're off to dinner and I got to sit in the sauna, too. Getting tired, and still this residual illness lurking in my throat and chest, but enjoying every moment now. Time for FaceTime. My poor hubby has had to teach my class as well as his and then sort out picking up the children from unfamiliar locations. His gift to me, a precious one, though not much fun for him this week, I think. Heard a piece will be published in The Common -- my first prose publication. A small wonder!
