Cutest thing I've seen in a while.

LA-based shoe label Penelope & Coco have just released the video for their SS2011 Oxford Collection.

SUCH A CUTE VIDEO. Worth a watch.

One Month Here.


The busy-ness is new.
An adjustment.
My feet ache.
My body wants to stop.
But activity is good.
A body fatigued,
from a day of
moving forward.
...is good.


Trembling Truth

At times, although one is perfectly in the right, one's legs tremble. At other times, although one is completely in the wrong, birds sing in one's soul. -V.V. Rozanov

However, the simple truth wont be simple and bright: It'll be dense, convoluted and kaleidoscopic. And the birds song will sound more like an orchestra than a single flute. - Lara Beierle

And I was at peace















Today, in the midst of strain and fatigue. I looked up past the concrete jungle and was reminded of the creator, by the aura of a roof top forest. Namaste.



Umbrella, ella, ella,


A smooth doomed protector.
So perfect in it's simplicity.
A cover from the fright of damp and cold.
Thank you, beautiful invention.
For bringing beauty, and magic,
and childlike wonder back to my life.
Everyday feels special.


Christmas is here.


I'm not someone that gets all giddy with the thought of Christmas. I don't decorate my house, or set up a tree and turkey dinners kinda gross me out, I hate forced gift giving, and the commercialism around the Christmas season seems contrived and sad. But as I was walking home tonight, I realized that there was one thing that I love about Christmas, and it changed everything for me.

I love white Christmas lights. I love seeing them in windows, their soft glow making the room look cozy and warm. Christmas lights somehow make life feel safe, secure, happy. Almost as if there is no evil or danger in the world. They make me think of baked apples and fireplaces, cozy sweaters and families laughing.

Its funny, because the minute I thought of one thing that I like about Christmas, I could think of another, and another. Isn't that the way it goes? When you change your perspective, just a little, suddenly a whole new world is open to you. I like that.

So for all of you haters out there. Haters of people, or events, foods, or trends. Remember perspective is everything.

Rain






















Shades of grey, surround my face.

And swirl all about me.

They drop, and splash, and wisp and curl.

In a palette of subtlety.







Fat rain, hard rain, sprinkling rain, mist.

happy rain, feeding rain, cloudless showers?

Ocean rain, blue rain, grey rain, puddles.

Quiet rain, pounding rain, wake me from my slumber.
