Catch that Wind



our challenge remains as this;
to balance, to remember, to be here,

and to never leave without learning,,
that we are a great magic,
and growing movement

“There Is A Voice Inside Of You

That Whispers All Day Long,
"I Feel That This Is Right For Me,
I Know That This Is Wrong."
No Teacher, Preacher, Parent, Friend
Or Wise Man Can Decide
What's Right For You- Just Listen To
The Voice That Speaks Inside."

Adventure

Ewing Galloway, Hikers in the Country Near New York City, from         “The Pageant of America” Collection (NYPL) So I went camping in the Delaware Water Gap this weekend. And I hiked up a mountain wearing jean shorts, a flannel shirt, and a pair of Sauconys. But do I wish I had been wearing jodhpurs, knee high lace-up boots, and a hat with a feather in the brim instead? Well, YES.

Spinning

Gradually, then suddenly.



feelin' like i could have used another day+
in ol' san fran.

i finished work today at 1pm.
since being home, i've done nothing.

feeling fresh but tattered.
sturdy yet weak.
level but teetering.

make change.

Flying on the Equinox


Virgin America flight 935
LAX to SFO
departure time 6:50pm

The western horizon.
Sun fall
.
we sail along the ant-carved coastline.
only Jupiter hanging still in the bluest of Night.
Every color on a pallet hanging horizontal,
gradients turning with time.


The fading light and closing colors lasted
the entirety of the flight.
Timing, beyond perfect.

It's difficult for me to find the words
(maybe it's because I'm all in an excited fluster)

In gist, It was a magical Equinox.

Intention



without going into great detail,
I'm heading up to San Francisco this evening for a session with a
transformational body worker.

I'll return to Los Angeles with Fresh Eyes.

perfection of logic

(via nosun)

'do it or don't.
it's amazing how many things in life are that easy.'

By Definition


Each is a palimpsest of notations, crossings-out,
updates and tantalizing glimpses of social and cultural history.

Studies



I miss attending courses horribly.
mental note: finish degree.

Tip of the Hat



I enjoy the simple gesture of raising your hand.
quite simply a "hello" "goodbye" or "thanks"
I use this gesture at least 12 times a day on my walks to and from
work.
a simple form in communicating with strangers.

Wanderlust

I'm an Art History Gal.
Greece and Egypt are on my
"top 5 venture locations"
for the art, i swear!

A Lariat



I had myself fooled;
fooled from the very truth.
the truth of what is,
what should be, and all what isn't.

it's been takin' me some time,
but i'm learning the tricks of my trade.

private awakenings are all the rage

Right Now



yes ma'am

Urban Dweller

(via conflate)

the upper edge of the sun is just peering through.
highlighting certain windows with golden light,
while night's still casted upon others.
the light and freshness of the day is contagious;
causing a failing interest in slumber.

My Shadow and the Shadow

Ilse Bing, Hellerhofsiedlung Frankfurt - My shadow and the shadow of the architect Mart Stam on the roof, 1930 (via Gunther Stephan)

'That's envy my dear, there's a little bit of envy in the best of us.'

well, my 'weekend' has officially begun.
it's been a very hectic week.
quite a few things are in the works, but i'm rather skeptical about a few.
i'm taking chances, playing the field, testing the waters etc.
why not, no?
even though I'm allowing myself to somehow
'pull these things off'
for some reason, i don't see a horizon.
It all seems for nothing.

why must i deny the desire i want the most?
it's not impossible to follow your one and true passion, right?
