"The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death — however mutable man may be able to make them — our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light." Stanley Kubrick
3. Then head over to Hollywood Forever Cemetery to watch this flick (my all time favorite...as a 16 year old ;)
4. And dream away the night, heading back here to look at the stars.
How often do you cry? I aways think of crying as both a terrible and terrific thing about being human. Photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher photographer over 100 tears wondering if tears of joy, tears of pain, tears of sadness emulate different patterns of this human expression.
eudaimonia: a life of activity governed by reason Humans, me, spend SO much time thinking about how to be happy. We read self-help books, we change jobs, we move across the country, we lose or gain weight, we drink wine, we take walks, we think and think and think about how to get to that place. At times, it seems almost as though we have lost the ability to actually be happy within the "search."
“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.” Yoko Ono I really believe this. In reflection can dreams feel as tangible as memories. So if you fly to Fiji on a kitty cat in your dreams, maybe, somewhere you really have. X
Here is to a wonderful weekend of dreams and realities and love and space. In the meantime...
I think this weekend might call for my favorite summer, be bad cocktail. Maybe I will try this one! via .
I have a ridiculous amazing amount of dried chamomile that good friends brought for me from Israel. It's too hot to drink and I can;t seem to get on top of making Iced Tea, so I think I've got just the idea! Cold chamomile compress anyone?
I love Elizabeth Moss and I love films with subtle atmospheric terror. I want to see this!
LISTEN! I am not a huge GP fan. The things she says and posts kill me a little inside. And her total public unawareness of her privilege yikes. I thought people paid publicists to take care of that kinda of stuff! Anyway I DO love the recipes in her cookbook. And this one... I just love making a huge batch and eating all week.
It's Monday. And though we are all "back" to our computers and or job, it is still important to dream. Close your eyes and where else would you be? Could you be? Today I dream of simply floating in a pool and staring up ant the sky and trees. One of the simpler pleasures in life.
Though these pools might not be simple to get to, they are simple in that they are natural and given to us from sweet mother earth.
