Carl Djerassi died today. Look at his life and look at this — artist residencies we must be selected for.
I think it is interesting how he allowed himself to do so many things in life. I identify.
We were not supposed to do so many things because we were not considered talented enough and also because it was not genteel to put so much effort into life.
In my first education trying so hard was something to be ashamed of, as if you thought you were worth something, and also as if you needed the money — and as if you needed to try, were not a natural.
In Reeducation one was to be leaving off trying for things. But I am ambitious. I can so clearly see all that could be done. I think my student can get one of these residencies.
Axé.
