Words for you...

“This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time.” 

- Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Objects for you...

Question. Is it fo paux for a woman to buy herself a nice ring?  Can't I commit to ME! Just because it's a diamond, doesn't mean I cant have it and love it. Perhaps every woman should go out there and get herself a nice piece of jewelry for herself....

Rings from the beautiful Catbird.

in the darkness I can see your yellow
it is a hope for a new evening

single span.... 
a continuum 

marked by creations 

I try to be reflective of this color

this color into a feeling

think this feeling into a shape

and this shape into words my language gives meaning to...

Everything must be understood.

Words for you...

“Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you’ve got to go deeper. Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure.They’re huge and abstract. And they’re very beautiful.” David Lynch, Catching the Big Fish 

(so good ps!)

tears for you...

Have any of you seen this video?  I sat down about a week ago and watched the whole thing and was so moved by this story...  Jill Brzezinski-Conley learned she had breast cancer a day before her 32nd birthday. She underwent a double mastectomy, and then, at 35, found out she has incurable stage 4 bone cancer.... and this film was made and an experience had.

Watch it.

There is one moment where she has this thought, a challenge of sorts for Victoria's Secret to use a survivor of breast cancer in their magazine.  How amazing and powerful and inspirational would that be to all women?!

object for you...

I love these handmade flowers and bouquets by Francis & Frances.  Such vibrant color that will last!

song for you...

lowtidehightide...

Let me in to your color
the motion is so much more inviting than the spring
waiting for the eternity of seasons
to have faith in the waining
is such a task

let me in to your color
so I can be in the movement of the spring
and be taken away in the synthetic nature of this thisness
and ignore the falling of my flowers

Words for you: Guest House

"This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they're a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond." Rumi

the air i blow cannot reach my sight

forever wanting this
it is invisible unless immersed in a weightless place

I want to be lighter and sink into the darkness below

out of me I want to live and drown down into a sea creature

where my body has the weight to fly

TRYING TO DANCE

I’m alway looking for presence.
Whenever I try, my doubts get unmasked.
Easier then to stick with absence.
I’m not trying to prove anything.
I dont have that many memories yet.

JH Engström, 2004

clothes for you...

Steven Alen, bra and swimsuit.  Yes please.

words for you...

".. I AM [A MYSTIC,] … OF A VERY ORDINARY KIND. I DON’T DOUBT THAT SOME PEOPLE THROUGHOUT HISTORY, AND SOME LIVING TODAY, HAVE HEARD VOICES AND SEEN VISIONS. BUT MY MYSTICISM DOES NOT INVOLVE ACCESS TO OTHER REALMS, ONLY THE DEEPER EXPERIENCE OF THIS ONE. MINE IS THE MYSTICISM OF EVERYDAY LIFE, OF THE HEAPED LAUNDRY AND THE BRUISED TOE, OF OVERCOOKED BROCCOLI AND LEAVES SPANGLED WITH DEW, OF SUNRISE AND SORROW, LAUGHTER AND LINGUINE, MUSIC AND MOLD. THIS EVERYDAY MYSTICISM REQUIRES NO SPECIAL POWERS, ONLY IMAGINATION, A DOTING AND PRACTICED ATTENTION TO THE ORDINARY, A WILLINGNESS TO BE SURPRISED BY GRACE. … DWELLING IN THE MOMENT, ON OUR BREATH, ON THE WORKS OF OUR HANDS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE US, WE’RE DRAWN INTO LIFE’S LUMINOUSNESS, INTO THE MYSTERY AT THE HEART OF ORDINARY THINGS."

~   Philip Simmons

Darkness forest darker ocean 

in and under is lost body

deep in the green pallet turned to mud and musk

a luscious thickness

deep under the glistening prism of the sun on you

a beautiful, warm joy

deep under the oxygen  

a life force 

deeper under is the darkest stillness

i have ever known.

I feel like I dreamed this on a bus ride from Boston to New York > New York to Boston, a trip made countless. Business Card a quarter inch,  move a bit to the left please.  Beautiful closeness and space inspired within joyful color.
