Interest in interest

Last night the rich nations all got together and decided to cut interest rates. All over the world! And they did it, just like that!
What I don't hear anyone talking about is the mutual dependence, power and vulnerability this
implies, and how we could solve our energy and CO2 problems as well, just as quickly once
we understand how it impacts the rich and powerful!

Dancing on Air

The other night at a tango lesson the teacher danced with me, for about 2 whole phrases of music. (Teachers often demonstrate moves with us students, but just dancing is rare, at least for me, so far.) It was like dancing on air, velvety air, I don't think I took a breath the whole time. We were floating and our feet were doing something mysterious far below, every every second seemed magnified as I stretched my leg as far as possible behind me for a back step, ... ah, so cushioned, how does he make walking feel so soft? And now a turn ...wheee! I'm spinning so fast .....oh it's over, oh my, where are we?
Why doesn't he just teach all these guys to do that? (I get impatient!) Tango doesn't look from the outside like it feels doing it-- like so many things in life! The feeling of velvety floating stayed with me for days!

I took some pictures of Portland's beautiful fall foliage for you. If you click on them they'll get bigger. It's been so gorgeous here the last few days.

Saturday, October 6

I have a new auction ready, here's a preview:
Cute little etched beads in autumn neutrals.
The weather here turned so cold with October, it's hard not to think of fall wools and sweaters.
I'm off to the downtown farmer's market.
