I've been to JM's house in Bel Air, not as an invited guest but more as a stalker... Wally nearly stopped speaking to me after I beat him up on the phone for an hour to get the proper address out of him. Anyway, I thought the Bel Air house was the only other CA home she'd owned besides the Canyon house, and in between she'd lived with Geffen (which is where much of C&S was written).

I have been very busy and haven't posted for a while, so, in water terms, my tide in relation to JMDL has been out. Then I say a few words and the tide feels in - if you get my drift! My own connection to those here strengthens again. Mark, I am pretty awe struck by your posts on 'Trouble Child'. Of themselves, they are so fluid and your train of thought is so clear and easy to follow. When you write; "Most surely, Joni Mitchell has found inspiration many times while contemplating that green water in motion." I remember Joni's connection to the land and all things elemental, which was underlined for me when I first saw the dvd of 'Painting wth Words and Music'. In the tradition of the Medicine Wheel that I undertook in the late 80s, I was taught that in the South was the element of water (I believe in other traditions, water may be in a different direction, elsewhere).The South is the place of emotion (as opposed to the element of air in the north,the place of the mind). The South holds intuition,is the place of swimmers like dolphins and whales and is also the place of sands, where the whole world is held in every grain of sand. The things about water is that it can flow around obstacles and can find its own level, is both a cleanser and a healer. We feel it in every cell and it and can hold and support our often heavy bodies. The opposite is that water can stagnate, so the importance is in the quest to find balance. I have the email lawntreader here because I need more earth and less water, so I thought I'd better be on the ground/lawn having been far too emotional (watery) in life :~)) I love the song Dawntreader so much, but can get quite lost in the peridots, the galleons, blue medallions. My own quest for balance reminds me often to get out of the ocean and walk about. It's good to have found a way to experience much less 'breaking' like a wave. I think turtles have taught me a lot! Certainly more than shining, firey dragons with their ridiculous certainty :~)) Anita x ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2011 08:19:40 -0700 From: Robin Adler Subject: Re: Trouble Child Laura and Anita, Wonderful exchange between you two and Mark. Can we get together this afternoon for some tea and just visit? I'll put the kettle on....
