My current thought :
I would seriously enjoy it if spring came extra extra early.

A glimpse of something cold

The shop windows were covered in frost, and the moment we were in wasn't any warmer.
Keats walked fast beside me. I could tell we were all being slowly belittled in his great mind, one by one:
Me, with my soggy boots and numb fingertips, Len with his crooked grin, chapped lips and red nose, and Thomas lagging behind with his glacial pace.

Keats was in his own anxty world, hating us all. He'd look at me with his stoney eyes and I'd forget everything for a moment. I swear I loved him that day. I'm not sure why I chose that day to love him. He was so mean then, if he didn't have his way.

Today was a good day. I am officially a nanny, and loving it.
As exhausted as I am at the end of the day, I want to keep myself motivated,
and I must (!) keep making things everyday.
So far it's been quite enjoyable!

today i have many things on my mind,
like what it might feel like to stand between two mountains,
or be a bird and fly over the ocean.

Dead Bones



Okay. So I kinda rolled out of bed and wrote this song.
There are numerous things wrong with it, such as:

1. The tempo is all over the place.
2. My voice is all over the place.
3. My guitar isn't even tuned properly.
4. The sound quality is real bad.
5. My hair is a disaster.
6. Etc.

why did i do it?

i cut my bangs.

a curry thing

I don't know what you'd call this, but there is lots of curry in it, among plenty of other exciting herbs and spices and flavours. It was tasty, that's for sure.

postcards

Today I wasn't feeling very motivated, but I made something none the less. I made a couple of postcards.
And here they are:

a little behind.

Well, this weekend was a lot of fun. I had a couple old friends of mine visit. we had a lovely dinner, good wine, good laughs.
I haven't been posting much, because I found myself rather busy over the past couple of days. But I've been making things, none the less.

I made a necklace, and I don't like it. But here it is!



and a calendar for the first month of this new year:


I have been encouraged today. I was making scrambled eggs and this verse kept creeping into my head as I worried and worried about life... I wrote seek on the bottom of the calendar, because Matthew 6: 31 - 34 has been my heartbeat today:

'Therefore do not worry, saying "what shall we eat? or what shall we wear?" For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. '

I want to start really having faith, really believing, and really seeking in a new, fresh, reckless way. I've tasted and I've seen both the goodness of God, and the sadness in my heart when I push Him away.. I now know what I want.

in spite of everything
which breathes and moves,since Doom
(with white longest hands
neatening each crease)
will smooth entirely our minds
-before leaving my room
i turn,and(stooping
through the morning)kiss
this pillow,dear
where our heads lived and were.

e.e. cummings



little bits of my day.


today was full of good moments.

meow.

ink and watercolour.
if i wasn't allergic, i'd probably own a real cat.


little things


I can feel my heart changing, and the way my mind works
My spirit and my soul can sing, and both of them know
That I'm where I needed to be.

5.1.11

My roommate Susie and I made a little thing called Shepherd's Pie.
We improvised and made it unique,
and it was nutritious and delicious!

First time ever, Shepherd's Pie!
Whoop!

where is my heart now


a collaboration of pieces from two old books of mine.
i thought they fit well,
and they mean something to me.
