gifts

I was given a dream catcher by a dreamer and he told me, "all the things people think are wrong are actually supposed to be like that." I learned not to mess with things. It was a gift at the end of March and was going to last many seasons. The first night I slept underneath it I had the most vivid dream of seeing someone I used to love a really long time ago at a train station. I hadn't seen him in my dreams in years and I knew even in that world that it was strange. But like I said, I learned not to mess with things.

SXSW

I don't think I have ever wanted to be in Texas. I want to be in Texas right now and for the rest of the week. As madness and endless music descend upon the city I cannot stop wondering the F I'm not out there. With over two thousand bands playing on over one hundred stages there is bound to be a little bit of everything for everyone. As I bid some of my favorite people adieu I'm looking at a bleak week until Friday rolls around. Lucky for me I'll be heading out this weekend as well to lovely Yosemite and hopefully catching up on some serious me time that I clearly need. So while the rest of you make sweet sweet music I am so there in spirit dancing in the back of the venue. Can't you see me smiling? Much Love. xoxo.

Inertia

I am currently proving the principle of inertia to be true. An object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless compelled by an outside force. I think it is interesting that it refers several times to the objects natural resistance to a change in velocity. A law of nature that confirms our resistance to change. A confirmation that it is science that makes you want to preserve our present state for as long as possible. The word inertia comes from the Latin word, iners, to mean lazy or idle. I was finding it very easy to drift by in this state for sometime now, but I have been compelled or propelled by an outside force and am now fully in motion. So now my mass has shifted velocity and I seem to be moving through the world with more speed, force, and intention then I have seen in sometime. Thank heavens I was beginning to grow tired of resting on my laurels. 

writers peril

He read everything she ever wrote and thought every day of telling her, “I resent the way you always write about me, as if I wouldn’t know I was there.”

“I never write with the intention to deceive you. I think we both know you were there. But I told you before that just by knowing me you are placing yourself inside my writing. Everything in this world is fair game for a writer. You are in my world, no?”

“That’s just the way you are. This is all your world. Yes, we're all here just for you to write about.”

“I think you’re missing the point entirely. Which is why I always end up writing about you.”

yes please

Lent.

I'm not a religious person but I do like to jump on the bandwagon for a variety of holidays across the board that fit my interests, desires, or needs. More so, I like to explore my options. Lent is one of those things that goes way back for me to the days of uniforms and catholic school boys. It's one of the few things I remember from the slight religious upbringing that I had. You give something up for forty days and forty nights, which doesn't include the six Sundays that fall within that time. So really it's 46 days in my eyes. In past years I always try to give something up, I always have the discussion and it goes on for sometime but somewhere within those forty six days I loose sight, track, or simply forget what I had committed to. So on my list of tings to give up this year but I have not committed to one is smoking, drinking, processed foods, netflix, men, diet coke, and shopping. What's a girl to do? It is supposed to represent Jesus and his forty days fast in the wilderness, which makes me more inclined to give up diet coke and processed foods. But those both feel so selfish, I mean it's not that hard and I want that anyway so hows really making the sacrifice here? Not, me. The word Lent comes from the German word Teutonic which means springtime, and they say we should view Lent as a sort of spiritual spring cleaning. I also read that while giving something up the idea is to put something more spiritual in it's place making us more like Jesus Christ. I don't think they entirely mean spiritual in the praying kneeling sense, I think it just means something good, or something better than what you gave up. So, think about it, you have the rest of the day to decide....
