Ahh, the coffee turned out just perfectly this morning. What a little heaven

[flowersandspacestuff]

How do I live?

I love. I write, and I write, and paint and paint, and sing my songs, and play my instruments, and pour my beating soul out through my heart

And when I am too tired for these,

I create a new sense,

To empty my aching longing into

[flowersandspacestuff]

Here we are darlings, here it comes along

Let's Hold the Light

But it is not done quite yet...

[flowersandspacestuff]

Ahh I solved my paint dilemma, this painting is truly coming along

Everything in my vision, in my touch, is infused with the color

The knowing feeling

The sweet release of tender ecstasy healing

Yes, people are "doing something".

NINETEEN STATES have joined the suit so far. In a climate this divided, that's not nothing. That's SOMETHING.

Many of the people in power know this is wrong. Others are realizing that people aren't going to stand for this forever. Keep the pressure up. Don't give up, don't give them your despair.

And don't fall victim to the illusion that nobody is resisting. The fact that you haven't seen it means it is being concealed from you, not that it does not exist. Much is being done and will be done without your knowledge. Do not let the assumption that nobody ELSE is fighting cause you to abandon the fight. That is precisely what they want to achieve.

This can be turned around. Even if you don't believe that, it doesn't hurt to act as though you do.

Keep pressing.

Every brushstroke is precious to me, every flick of paint, incidental quiver, impressing line

Yet must I cover these treasures...

To make them sublime?

'Somebody's got to have the sense to turn on the dim and beautiful and powerful lights of love in this world.'

From "Love Your Enemies" by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Here you are, the whole thing, the process, my newest piece in progress, my messy painting desk and wet canvas. Let's share space and inspiration and remind eachother that every little imperfect messy detail is vital to the heart of art, and that we are in this all together.

................................¿~*`

I am reading Dr. King today. His words of strength inspire me, and give me strength to hold up the light for this mission of peace.

We have a legacy to follow.

We have a momentum to sustain.

We have a future to create.

I don't know how to do it, but I do it anyway

[flowersandspacestuff]

i love you visible brushstrokes. i love you glue warped scrapbook pages. i love you awkward poems. i love you junk journal with faded receipts. i love you poorly composed journal layout. I love you unintentionally blurry photographs. i love you asymmetrical beading. i love you curling freeform crochet. i love you fingerprints on pottery. i love you reused materials. i love you improvised instruments. i love you mistakes. i love you bravery to make it anyway. i love you creativity that hasn't been wiped clean of every drop of humanity and sanitized and commodified.

😭 it is so incredible, we are so privileged to live in a time filled with such wonders of our universe that we could only imagine and guess at before

To cure a gloomy mood this grey morning:

Poetry by Kahlil Gibran

Text good morning with mom

Share a smile and kind words with a stranger

Listen to an uplifting and energizing song

Drink warm coffee the way I like it

Appreciate a little cat being lovey

Paint on some sparkly gold eye makeup sigils

Blueberries and cheese

Full spectrum LED light

A hearty and tasty warm breakfast with mushroom and onion and egg

Remind myself why I am here

Make/appreciate some art

Read something educational and inspiring

Play some instruments

Something something, melancholy feeling, something something, cry, whine..

Wait a second!
