The purple house has entered a new era. Gone are Ben, Jim, and Than. Gone are the days of dumpster diving and shrews drowned in honey buckets. The new year has ushered in the most hopeful united crew we have had for a long time. Lisette, Dan Cooper, Katharine Duckett, Jesslyn and me (Peter) are holding down the fort. Yes, it is cold. The purple house shudders under the weight of layers upon layers of ice. Yet, the purple spirit is not dormant.
Over the summer, I came to the realization that this house is akin to a puzzle. More like a puzzle with missing pieces and no photo showing the completed image. If it seems as though a piece is missing, it just takes a bit of pondering and searching to realize where things should go or remember where the missing pieces might lie. I did indeed find a puzzle in a bag in an ignored cabinet. Maybe someday I will attempt to put it together- but there are more pressing matters at hand.
Now that we are in the brunt of winter, I have come to another huge realization: the purple house is a force larger than any of us. Just when I think I got everything under control- WHAM!! I am at the whim of the big purple. My hands are covered in oil and I'm begging on my knees, praying for salvation.
NOT TO FEAR~! Just as everything seems as though its falling apart, there's an incredible show, house dinner, or late night powwow... and the spirit calls me back, wishing I never doubted it would.
THE PURPLE HOUSE LOVES YOU. HAPPY NEW ERA 2009
