"Millions and millions of years would still not give me half enough time to describe that tiny instant of all eternity when you put your arms around me and I put my arms around you."
- Jacques Prévert -
High Resolution -
High ResolutionEverything is quiet. Everything is very still. I dig my toes into the lazy earth. Time slows and the evening flows like honey. I pull my knees to my chest and watch with half-awake eyes.
I remember walking with you down a dirt road at four in the morning. The horizon buzzed like a gap-toothed cheshire cat smile spread wide above our heads. We were chasing black dogs and dancing lights. A question slid beneath the canvas of the evening, hid in long, berry-bruised shadows, dripped from the sky like strawberry jam.
It beckoned to be tasted. And it tasted like love.
Or a waking dream. Now Autumn is lifting the summer heat from the soil as she lays her cool bones to rest.
The leaves will be falling soon. I roll my affection into the open, close my eyes, and I wait.

Black Magic & Magnolia Suns
Incense, sandalwood, and a half lit cigarette rest by the window in the bedroom of my new apartment. Soft rain drops in small intervals. The air is sultry. It’s heat, soil, and salt. It’s the promise of a new summer. Late nights turn into magnum colored dawns. Unfamiliar faces slowly smile. I pour my sixth cup of gin. Pangs of love-gone-by still prick somewhere deep inside from time to time, but followed without regret. I’ve let go, but I’m not quiet sure I’m ready to move on, just yet. The hot summer is wide open. I only have to walk out the door.

"Let seed be grass, and grass turn into hay;
I’m martyr to a motion not my own;
What’s freedom for? To know eternity.
I swear she cast a shadow white as stone.
But who would count eternity in days?
These old bones live to learn her wanton ways:
(I measure time by how a body sways)."- Theodore Roethke -

Coat
Sometimes I have wanted
to throw you off
like a heavy coat.Sometimes I have said
you would not let me
breathe or move.But now that I am free
to choose light clothes
or none at allI feel the cold
and all the time I think
how warm it used to be. -
Name: A Case Of You (Joni Mitchell Cover)
Artist: James Blake
Album: Turntable Kitchen # The January 2012 Mix #
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine,
You taste so bitter and so sweet.
Oh I could drink a case of you darling,
And I would still be on my feet,
Oh I would still be on my feet.
James Blake - A Case Of You (Joni Mitchell Cover)

“Seems to me, it aint the world that’s so bad but what we’re doin’ to it. And all I’m saying is, see, what a wonderful world it would be if only we’d give it a chance. Love baby, love. That’s the secret, yeah. If lots more of us loved each other, we’d solve lots more problems. And then this world would be better. That’s wha’ ol’ Pops keeps saying.” - Louis Armstrong

High ResolutionAfter the nearly simultaneous deaths of his mother and wife, Theodore Roosevelt left his daughter in the care of his sister, Anna “Bamie” in New York City. In his diary, he wrote a large ‘X’ on the page and then, “The light has gone out of my life.”

"The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation.
For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And along the way, lessen the suffering of others. You’d be surprised how far that gets you."- Neil deGrasse Tyson
only joy returns.
Oh! then you loved the world. Eternal ones, love it eternally and evermore; and to woe too, you say: go, but return! For all joy wants-- eternity.” -- Friedrich Nietzche
