Gustav Klimt Told Me So

In Flight Tale

… traveling heightens sensitivity to all things big and small…little stories surface, while sitting on little seats suspended in large spaces of air:
Want. Her palpability for specificity is akin to a dandelion’s ideal location for sprouting. Interpersonal proximity is the inducer of such bulldozing, though, to claim her standing nearly as sturdy as an architectural [...]

The Beleaguered Soul

I do believe I have woman crush on Annie Clark aka St. Vincent. Her first solo album was hauntingly gorgeous and musically stretching for my mind. And now, the cute, multi-instrumentalist prodigy, who happens to be my age, has released another album, Actor. NPR has streamed the whole album and you should listen, listen carefully [...]

Totally Vertical Succulents

This is by far the most viscerally, aesthetically, and sensually provoking thing I have seen in a long time. Maybe I’m exaggerating, possibly, maybe. However, if you are one who thoroughly enjoys texture, tactility, and other stimulating design elements then you might get the chills (as I did) looking at this vertical garden of succulents.
It [...]

pronunciation |prəˌnənsēˈā sh ən|

disclaimer: 
I am not an audio learner, whatsoever
Flustered and frenzied, I tried to pronounce jewery, gah, jewlry, eh, jew-el-ry as a 7 year old in front of my class and failed. The following year, I had to pronounce wuf, gah, wof, eh, wo-L-f in front of my class and failed, thus it was at this juncture [...]

Duly Noted, Duly Duly Truly

Something that I experientially learned this past weekend: we like to stay far from unpleasant or painful feelings that the other induces while being in relationship. Thus, in attempt to avoid and/or alleviate those feelings we will control the other–whether it is through flight or demand or other maladaptive forms. Regardless, it will happen. 
And, isn’t it fascinating [...]

Cosmetic Reduction

If we exclusively focus on the cross, we reduce Christianity to only the forgiveness of sins, a flattening of Jesus. True, the cross bears inimitable consequences and implications that are far-reaching and deeply worthy of reverence and understanding. However, if we only see the cross, our vision and commision will be narrow and dogmatic, forceful and [...]

Temma On Earth (As It Is In Heaven)

I had an interview with Tim Lowly this morning and I was taken aback by his sensibility and contemplative nature. His paintings behold significance that one could easily overlook. This piece is in the Frye Museum and it is of his daughter. Go see it and to read more about Tim and his exceptional skill [...]

Drinking These Words These Days

Changes come
Turn my world around
I have my father’s hand
I have my mother’s tongue
I look for redemption in everyone
I wanna wear your ring
I have a song to sing
It ain’t over babe
In fact it’s just begun
Changes come
Turn my world around
Changes come
Bring the whole thing down
I wanna have our baby
Somedays I think that maybe
This ol’ world’s too fucked [...]

Despite All, Keep Pouring

 
They trickle in slowly, but oh so Shirley. Who/what is Shirley anyways? Oh, surely as in, with certainty.  Yes, surely Shirley.
Joshua has done superbly. This one is based off of John Lennon and Yoko Ono taken by the notorious photographer, Annie Leibovitz.
