Thank you Eva for these notes on this evening. I am happy to read your statement of when things “work best for” you. You’ve said it so simply and sometimes it feels very complex, but simplicity serves well here. It is not necessarily about subject matter, is it? But it is about relationality, like Paxton shifting his gaze from the cradle to the rocking chair, and back again – the stuff in between – the meaning that’s created, not told.

I majorly enjoyed RoseAnne Spradlin’s piece, which was first after “intermission” and I’m sorry to hear you missed. (I left right after that one.) I was at a poetry reading today and thought back on watching that solo on video and wondered how much more wonderful it would have been to see it live, and it dawn on me the removed nature of the whole of the experience of the screenings and how used to that mediation we are.

I also did rejoice in the energy and enthusiasm in the room -the aliveness of the meeting of generations looking back and being the forward.
