holiday coma

so coma is back in my hands, almost a stranger now since it has been so long since i  immersed myself in its liquid confusion.  the decision to back off from the holiday shop thing is the right one for me.  i need to make the end of the year count for something more essential.  some hard core decisions about my work and what it means are looming mixed with financial instability.  the coma diaries have been lovingly collected and recorded during the year, along with notes and unpublished photos and drawings. it felt so personal and meaningful that i decided to put it in print.  Coma, the real life diary for 2009 (and then some) is becoming a book.  very slowly and deliberately.  a new version of the timekeeper.  if you stop and look at what actually goes into a slow cloth it will astound you.  the best decision was to include the special part of this one which was its expansion into the community of readers that followed along  with their comments and inspiration.  a world wide coma documentary.   thank you all for this gift.
