extremely, incredibly, illuminated, everything

so I've now finished my latest book for bedtime

I've been reading about the author; the internet, reviews of his work, commentaries and criticisms - words that people wrote five years ago that are available to me at the touch of a key on a pad without my having to even adjust my position (altho I do have pins and needles from sitting, rapt, in one position for so long). . . my own words only a few days old

my head is so full of stuff now

I'm thinking of a book on a bookshelf. . . a book I read a long time ago now which comes up if you search Amazon (uk) (not com) (I checked) for Jonathan Safran Foer. . .
I'm thinking of a bookshelf. . . that, in a former life, I once gave as a present

if you're curious, it's ron arad's bookworm. . . a flexible construction that you shape as you fix (not as easily done as written about, but manageable and very robust - the one I gave was put up and taken down five times, remains in perfect condition: it now resides in a box while its owner* looks for a new abode)

(*that person now does their bedtime reading thanks to a Ron Arad bedside illumination piece. . .) (I was present when the purchase was made)

(the image doesn't show, but that is a light)

Jonathan Safran Foer has written about Ron Arad
I'm thinking of an exhibition I went to. . . remember when I told you about my first encounter with the work of Richard Serra?

well, it turns out that Jonathan Safran Foer has written a work inspired by Richard Serra

you'll recall I'm debating my next purchase with those rainy day pennies?yup. . . you're guessed it. . .Jonathan Safran Foer. . .

I feel a little like Jonah

and I remember how I once searched the internet for my unmarried self I wondered what someone would find if they were looking for me - I never did find that someone - but and came across page after page after page of dedications to a woman with the same name who had died on Tuesday 11th September 2001

and as I think these thoughts I wonder if I should switch this off and go for a walk - the sun is not shining, but the air is fresh

I hope you find time to enjoy
living your life today
