My wigwam reeked
of Camel non-filters
Dad-built
hand saw pushed
through two by fours
and Bama pine
The door flap?
Mom’s plastic tablecloth
harvest gold
white fuzz on the back
Inside,
boney cross-legged
pine-sap sticky
chigger-snack thighs
sweat trickling through
a stretchy Injun training bra
I was
Pocahontas of Dothan
ignorant
that I would find Jesus
change my name to Rebecca
Bruised Sacajawea
after being struck by Toussaint
Native.

Topless Hemingway? Yes. No. Maybe.
Biblioklept recently published this slideshow of topless Hemingway photos. A little fascinating, and a little not so much later in life.
“Where the myth fails, human love begins. Then we love a human being, not our dream, but a human being with flaws.”
In honor of Anaïs Nin’s birthday this week, Maria Popova and Debbie Millman gave us the second installment of their ongoing collaboration.

Of her Indexed site, Jessica Hagy says:
This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others. I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.
What she doesn’t tell you is that she’s scalpel-sharp, and that her observations are sure to land squarely between your eyes. Having frequented Indexed for years, I’m thrilled that she now has featured blogs at both Forbes and Smithsonian.
Inspiration? It’s work. Hunt that f-er down.
Leonard Cohen wrote and recorded it. So many have dared to take a shot at it over the years, including Jeff Buckley. For me, this remains one of the most powerful recordings – ever. Buckley was gone much too soon.
