in traditional chinese medicine ...




... the heart meridian is a pathway of vital energy.

It begins in the chest and ends at the little finger. It governs the heart and circulation, regulates blood, and is deeply connected to emotional balance, mental clarity, and sleep. It ends in the most protected area of the body, safe within the armpit. 

I had a dream just now. Two very young boys nap  on a rug in front of a crackling fire. They awaken and one of them says to the other "You are perfect. I want to be with you always. "  To commemorate the moment, the boy gets a tiny tattoo of a fireplace in his armpit. They go their separate ways. Years later, during a war they fight on opposite sides. One captures the other during combat. They do not recognize each other. One day the captor washes the dirty soldier and discovers the tattoo.

  My old apartment is completely empty ex for an almost empty bottle of Windex. It’s been less than a week since I left it and now it’s unlocked. I like to go down and visit.  There’s something strange and special about an empty apartment. Besides the echo - it evokes a number of things for me. The past, the future, quietude, melancholy, loss, Last Tango in Paris - where Brando and the young French sexpot both check out a beautiful empty apartment and I think Brando rents it and they meet there and have wild sex and he makes her promise to never say or tell him her name and vice versa and it's such a wild fantasy, two nameless people flooring it again and again for good or bad underneath a night skyway in the City of Lights.

  Have been indulging in all things mid century Roman lately - reading about the beginnings of neo-realism, Pucci fashion papparazzi. Watched A Special Day last night on Youtube - a very special movie. Sophia and Marcello are skyrocket superb. The script is, too. At one point while she’s making coffee, prettying up for him in front of the bathroom mirror and dealing with an old nosey neighbor - he looks at an album of Mussolini fotos he assumes is one of her six childrens. It's hers - a scrapbook of her savior and sex symbol. Brilliant.   Watch a ’77 Cavett interview with SL and MM on the Tube. It affirms you don’t have to be skinny and blond and twenty to emit  heart stopping sex appeal.
