Two things.
1. Death is not a tragedy; it is an inevitable part of life. What is tragic is how woefully unprepared for it we tend to be.
2. Nature is messy. -
Maine sliver.
It's so beautiful here. I'd forgotten just how. Beautiful enough to rival Hawaii, albeit in a different way. This spring weather is incomparable. The quality of the light... the clouds... why do I feel like I never noticed how many shades of blue could be in one sky ( Read more... ) -
Freak outs: not just my imagination. Well, actually, they are. Sort of?
Anybody remember those anxiety attacks I used to have last winter/spring? Yeah, me neither, since I never really thought they were anything more than me being a dork, especially since I haven't had one in a year or so. But I had another one last night.
In my dream.
So I was dreaming of the Space Zombocalypse (in which the zombie apocalypse is ( Read more... ) -
The long, silent miles / Welcome to Spring
It's April. I've been quiet. In true family tradition, no news is good news. I spend my days being stupidly in love and halfheartedly looking for a job. I've got some art modeling gigs lined up, so there's some hope, but I am seriously dragging my feet on 'real' work.

News from the trenches.
It's been a while. Things have been good, and busy.

chicken, buddhism, creativity and stuff
So I was standing at the stove picking the meat off of a chicken carcass tonight. I do that a lot lately, pick meat off of chicken carcasses. We roast a lot of chickens. It's easy and everybody will eat it. You can get a couple meals out of one chicken. The first time it's just sliced and sometimes I make gravy. Then I pick whatever we didn't eat ( Read more... ) -
Adventures with sharp objects (SEWING WOO!).
I've been needing a 'professional'ish wardrobe, in the event that at some point someone decides to employ me. Thanks to the Salvation Army, I've been able to acquire quite a few lovely articles of clothing at a low, low price. The super-duper awesome part of this is that all of the things I picked are 100% natural fibers: cotton, wool, or silk. I ( Read more... ) -
In Case You're Curious.
Most of you probably know that I am in San Antonio right now, living with my sister and brother-in-law and their three delightful girls. San Antonio is a very beautiful city full of warm, vibrant people. I have greatly appreciated my time here as an opportunity to pause and reconnect with family, to regroup myself and my priorities. Although I have ( Read more... ) -

Had ideas for an oil painting the past week so I finally put my room in some semblance of order (art supplies on the floor instead of clothes and books) and set up the easel. Pulled out the oil paints and quickly realized a few things ( Read more... )
