Day accounts

I do write here sometimes, or when I do write, is about if something went off a well connected growth cycle, for a not useful time on my own.

I read the news briefly about a Professor Jason Arday, who committed suicide. I think he was heavily accused of plagiarism.

I exchanged a few thoughts about about Colorado River levels, and rivers in Europe this summer. Received an update that yesterday it was 117 degrees Farenheit in Phoenix, Arizona. Mamma mia.

Thought a bit several writers, very good writers, and their lives. Many of them have either committed suicide or live alone in a room during an illness of their lives. A few examples I am thinking now are Ernest Hemingway, Papa. If my memory is working well, he suffered something. Apuntation might be? I do not recall. Then he could not fish which one of his hobbies. So he committed suicide.

Virginia Wolf, who short bio, I was reading recently a few days ago. She went to a nearby river. Not sure yet, where she lived. Unfortunately, I have not read Virginia Wolf yet. I recall someone who really loved her writing, and loved the professor who taught the person I knew to love Virginia Wolf. Well, she puts some rocks on her pockets. She was found drawn(right word?) in the river. She was peculiar with sounds and distractions. Used to write on a small farm house in the garden (?).

I think Marcel Proust, while sick (?) clustered himself and wrote for might be 15 years the long 7? volume of In Search of Lost Time.

I was thinking what one can expect as an influence of reading those works. Those are great acclaimed writers from generation to generation.

Saint Therese of Lisieux wrote rather quite fast, Story of Soul, under the order of one of his sister who was the Prioress at the convent. She wrote three manuscripts for a that book. Different three orders. She was quite sick, with tuberculosis. Her hand was likely providentially guided. Did not suffer the pressure of the prioress in fulfilled the work. Did not care about checking if the prioress have read it. She was fulfilled with grace, and daily duty of service in the Carmelite convent.
