Birthday

 

Still trying to convince myself growing up is a good thing.

I just like the cake.

Darkness Approaches

 

Newport, RI

To be a fish...

Explanation

I am less here than others. Practicing
the art of poise upon a slender ledge
that drops down days, resolving not to sing
a favorite nocturne, pruning back the edge
of dreams--all these are such consuming tasks.
And morning means that I must nurse a flame
so I can study what the daylight asks,

and research why

and memorize

my name.

--Jean Lenski

Desolate decay

There is something within me that really loves things that are falling apart.

Sometimes decay can be so beautiful.

Happy Halloween!

here are some of my favorite cemeteries:

Savannah, Georgia

Mazatlan, Mexico

Somewhere in Western Ireland

Mirrors

 

I'm not going to lie, I am very self-conscious. I occasionally have paralyzing attacks of insecurity where I don't even want to leave the room or let anyone see me. So what is the best thing to do in these moments? Sit in a windowless room full of mirrors and make funny faces with a friend. 

Works sometimes.

New York Continued...

I Love New York

Spending the weekend hanging out with BringChange2Mind friends, college friends, and hopefully meeting my editor for the first time!

A Little Poem

We say that some are mad. In fact
if we have all the words and we
make madness mean the way they act
then they as all of us can see

are surely mad. And then again
if they have all the words and call
madness something else, well then--
well then, they are not mad at all.

--Miller Williams
