a day involving love and creation
Monday, 25 January 1943
One lives a vast number of days but life seems short because the days repeat themselves so. Take that period from my 21 to 24 yr. when I was in the shoe business, a clerk typist in St. Louis at $65 a month. It all seems like one day in my life. It was all one day over and over. Ben in “Stairs to the Roof.” The best way to have new days is to travel or be sexually promiscuous or work with intensity on a long creation. The progress of the work gives time a perspective. Yes, we must not go over and over our same day unless that day is deeply satisfying which it rarely is. One cannot hope for a life of continual movement and change and must so devise a good and deeply satisfying day to repeat. A day involving love and creation and security and a beautiful open country. New Mexico.
Help me, dear God, to find what I need.
