Some first impressions from my new house. I’m still waiting for Leta to send me the house description as i found it on craigs’ list, it’s quite impressive, at least it impressed me. But at this moment Leta has other things on her mind: she is leaving for Sacramento, the capital, tomorrow early morning, to take her qualifying exams after 10 years of study of Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Once i get the description i’ll include it here, so come back to this entry if you want to read it. |
And then i should slowly begin to get my head around these cooperative living arrangements here in Santa Cruz. I did interviews in two places: Chavez House, which is one of the two student co-ops (part of NASCO, www.nasco.coop) in town, and then the “30 something” semi-coop where i’m now. The reflections of course already started with the decision to look for a collective living situation, and then the need to chose between them (or still decide to go for another living arrangement…), as they both wanted to have me. And for sure i’ll be reflecting more on this as i’m now part of the house on Washington street.
But for now, i’m enjoying the beauty of this craftsmanship house, and my veranda room (6 windows!) next to the kitchen. And Rutvica’s poetry card that was awaiting me here, Summer. Steeped in flowers. Yes, they say that nature blooms amazingly here in spring and summer…
