Our journey is entirely imaginary, which is its strength.” —la grande belleza…my new favorite film

March 29, 2014 - 9:47 pm


The film opens with a quote from Céline‘s Journey to the End of the Night:  “To travel is very useful, it makes the imagination work, the rest is just delusion and pain. Our journey is entirely imaginary, which is its strength.” from the daily telegraph— “a shimmering coup de cinema”. each scene is a photograph…i couldn’t stop taking iPhone photos sitting in the movie! i was constantly engaging with the film’s beautiful images and emotions…i loved the whole experience! the soundtrack was also perfect… http://filmmusicreporter.com/2013/05/25/the-great-beauty-soundtrack-details/ oh and labradors are NOT DUMB…i am sorry…i loved this picture…and he was an imperfect character…just like all of us. :)

is a lovely thing! i sat down in the one sunny warm spot in point reyes station and found myself exhaling finally…  relaxing against the creamy white tongue and groove building wall… i looked up to see these glorious blossoms wishing me a happy morning!

feel free and sexy! OUR denim halter tunic (recycled)

- 5:35 pm

i designed our (reclaimed fabric) stretchy-denim halter-tunic, the latest download from the natural space… this is only a peek… i am wearing it as a bikini cover-up here…  i think the  halter tunic has great potential HOWEVER….and will look very HOT—  with black, white, dark euro-navy leggings or denim-like leggings!?? steve sewed the prototype for me and added his own creative expression in the form of edging on the halter top…it will be “fraying” at the edges a bit…wondering if this is a good idea? our collaboration is interesting as always…and i am checking out the wear and tear and washability… it may infact be ingenius…and trendy??
…going with the flow and being pleasantly surprised, maintaining curiosity…and LOVE.

i am very excited about this top. it is extremely comfortable with same stretchy denim built-in bra/shelf. you will feel free! —and feel good about your creative and upcycled wardrobe!

…just need to clarify…
(these 4 beginning words i was given as a thread to continue in our writing group)

…just need to clarify…

i don’t like this pen w/this paper—-the pen needs smooth paper to roll along and purr with insight—-now this paper doesn’t allow things to roll along…which pen, which paper?
which pen?

relationship

relationship

relationship

my relationship with me

my relationship with him

his relationship with himself.

his relationship with himself—

this interests me.

i saw this piece today under the canopy of madrone and oaks still thriving on the south-facing slopes. ?he showed me this piece—that part of him that is dormant—?i hope

dormant—there is possibility—a thaw could happen, some energy could move again—this is possible. ?but he seems dormant. i feel it and i am frozen for a moment in reality as i decide to know this piece in this man.

he might press me back into my bones

he might lie on top of me and press my body gently back into the earth again

as shooting stars connect all the cosmos… we sparkle in acceptance and yet know

the truth is overbearing and not enough. ?not enough to see ?not enough to know. he isn’t, i’m not—-but really i am and so is he—-but not in this time or place—-maybe somewhere else ?on a mountain ?at the top

maybe.

(big island spirits: left photo: beach hwy pole 69.1,  right photo: beach hwy. pole 69.2)(the hawaiian tree spirits are very present in both of these photographs and you can actually see them on the large prints!
