November Journaling Challenge: Day 3
Prompt: What are your favorites?
Favorite Book - Walden
Usually categorized as 'nature writing,' it contains seeds of wisdom on many topics -- a new economics which values simple living and warns of the human costs of industrialization, the benefits of reading, and the necessity, on occasion, of civil disobedience.
Favorite Music
Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (Bach)
Favorite Movie
action - Duel, an early Steven Spielberg work starring Dennis Weaver, with the supporting actor never appearing on screen
character - The Color Purple
overall - The Shawshank Redemption
Favorite Color - ultramarine
Now synthetically produced for artists, it was originally handmade from lapis lazuli, a semi-precious stone valued for its intensity. Vermeer used ultramarine for the turban worn by the Girl with a Pearl Earring.
Favorite Summer
1970. I had light training by the Navy as a would-be JAG officer. Becky, Sara and I were able to use the weekends exploring New England. Highlights included the Boston Pops July 4th Concert, visiting Walden Pond, seeing a Red Sox game at Fenway, and walking Cape Cod.
