Lughnasa Harvest Moon
“Someday you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.” C.S. Lewis
After a day with Loki and scansion, I got tired and was happy to have supper and watch Wire in the Blood with Kate. Loki’s fascinating, an original bad jotun, and just can’t help making mischief, a festering ball of chaos. He’ll make a great character once I figure out how to include him in the story.
(Gullinbursti, the Golden Boar. Part of the Loki saga)
Scansion, on the other hand. Oy vey! I find recognizing meter, the stressed and unstressed syllables difficult. I’ve never learned it and I need to now in order to finish my essay on Dickinson’s poem. After locating some handy brief exercises, my head hurt. So, I stopped.
Tomorrow.
The gong fu cha goes well. I have a rhythm with it now and I produce six pots of tea out of a single batch of tea leaves. The last two infusions, surprisingly, are the best. At least so far.
