I love Dahlias!!! :)

Carry Me

Dark
Weary
Empty
Cold

No appetite
Except for rest

Come, Lord Jesus,
Come quickly,
And carry me.

March 25, 2011

It's cold today.
A thin crust of snow and ice barely cover the corn-stalk stubble.
My heart is waiting for the thaw.

Brevities!

GreenYellow lights like lightning bugs flickering
Ice melting
Knees jiggling
TV background noises
Heat-wave reflecting on wall
Felix comes to greet me
Now he's gone!
Brevities!

Adagio Molto

Rippling scales
Sweet, stately harmonies
Long, liesurely phrases
High arching phrases from deep, deep bass line
Simple fundamental melody
Enchanting
Stilling
I'm breathing deeper, listening to
Beethoven's Adagio molto, Opus 10, No. 1, 2nd movement

Alt Plus Blue Fn Key!

á
Wheeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
I finally figured it out!
On my laptop, since I don't have a separate numbers pad, in order to use the keystroke codes from the character map, I have to hold down alt AND the blue Fn key WHILE I type the blue numbers on the alpha pad. I.e. I can't use the number row above the alpha pad for these codes.

Now, is this actually easier or quicker than cutting and pasting? 'Don't know! Probably won't be at first, but I imagine eventually it will, and meanwhile, even if it never will, I'd rather use keystrokes because I'd rather keep typing while writing!
