BLOG:
Special Feb. 2nd assignment: pay special attention to your day. The details. right action, what we do, how we do it. We will write about our Feb 2nd experience and immortalize it as Joyce immortalized the day he spent with his wife on June 16, 1904. Also echoing the movie Groundhogs Day where Phil Conners (Bill Murray) relived the same day until he learned to be a better person. Phile was a self centered, contemptable man, but learned that a life worth living is a life lived in service of others, and he learned how to love.
listen to the static, static is the noise of daily life.....but it is important.

TS Eliot, Four Quartets, Dry Salvages
"Men's curiosity searches past and future
And clings to that dimension. But to apprehend
The point of intersection of the timeless
With time, is an occupation for the saint—
No occupation either, but something given
And taken, in a lifetime's death in love,
Ardour and selflessness and self-surrender.
For most of us, there is only the unattended
Moment, the moment in and out of time,
The distraction fit, lost in a shaft of sunlight,
The wild thyme unseen, or the winter lightning
Or the waterfall, or music heard so deeply
That it is not heard at all, but you are the music
While the music lasts."
