maybe...

Maybe it did take a crisis to get to know yourself. Maybe you needed to get whacked hard by life before you understood what you wanted out of it.

* cardigans

* toms - and the fact that they're coming out w ballet flats only multiplies my affection
* pleats.  everywhere.
* skinny belts
* scarves.  esp thin, long ones. 
* polka dots
* pink + green combo
* black + white + grey + red combo
* stripes
* yoga pants
* navy blue, anything

blink. breathe. remember.

this post changed my life.  or rather, did not but made me this much more conscious.  brought new life to my life.

things are happening.  and yet, here i sit.  with 2 minutes left to blog before my lunch break comes to a close... and so.  in the words of the Terminator, i'll be back.

love.love.

So you think that you've got troubles?

So you think that you've got troubles?
Well, trouble's a bubble,
So tell old Mr. Trouble to "Get lost!".

Why not hold your head up high and,
Stop cryin', start tryin',
And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed.

When you find the joy of livin'
Is lovin' and givin'
You'll be there when the winning dice are tossed.

A smile is just a frown that's turned upside down,
So smile, and that frown will defrost.
And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed!

- lyrics from the dick van dyke show, written by Morey Amsterdam

look what happens.

Even

After

All this time

The Sun never says to the Earth,

"You owe me."

Look

What happens

With a love like that,

It lights the whole sky.

repetition

some days are just like the ones before.

some days have an ongoing theme.

today is already the latter - thrice this morning i've stumbled upon the name charles bukowski.  so, here's a couple of words i'll borrow from him. 
let's see what the rest of today brings, yeah?

xo

“We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus!
That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't.
We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.”

juice of the day:
"apples cover a multitude of greens"

3-4 stalks of celery
1.5 carrots
4-5 kale leaves
2 apples

(measurements are approx due to cutting of produce the evening before,
and blindly shoving things into juicer at ungodly hours of the morning.)

not in the mood for it today.  :(

love is a place...

love is a place

& through this place of
love move
(with brightness of peace)
all places

yes is a world
& in this world of
yes live
(skilfully curled)
all worlds
