“I love your silence. It is so wise. It listens. It invites warmth. I love your loneliness. It is brave. It makes the universe want to protect you. You have the loneliness that all true heroes have, a loneliness that is a deep sea, within which the fishes of mystery dwell. I love your quest. It is noble. It has greatness in it. Only one who is born under a blessed star would set sail across the billowing waves and the wild squalls, because of a dream. I love your dream. It is magical. Only those who truly love and who are truly strong can sustain their lives as a dream. You dwell in your own enchantment. Life throws stones at you, but your love and your dream change those stones into the flowers of discovery. Even if you lose, or are defeated by things, your triumph will always be exemplary. And if no one knows it, then there are places that do. People like you enrich the dreams of the world, and it is dreams that create history. People like you are the unknowing transformers of things, protected by your own fairy-tale, by love.”

Picked up this little quartz crystal in Wisconsin, only to have a happy little accident upon the day of my return. I was pulling it out to show a good friend of mine, and in my excitement watched it fall to the floor and split into two perfect pieces! I gave the other half to my love source , so that they may only be whole when we are together. They’re reunited, and hopefully healing together, once more! <3

“Now break that untouched bottle
upon that sailing ship
and fly away to better days
with secrets I adore.
Creativity is your power
with words to fight your wars
while books are your defense
and imagination as the limit.
So welcome to my kingdom
a place of love and peace.
So raise your glass and tip your hats
it’s time to start the feast.
Now good old Captain Morgan
festive as he be with a
“yo ho ho and a bottle of rum”
we were set for eternity
just don’t forget this smile
not now not ever but always
keep it in your pocket
and one day you will see
that same old foolish child
in foolish memories.”

A few months ago I gave this sketch to nick wardrip, a kind and formidable soul who has recently passed. He was always enthusiastically suppotmrtive of my artwork, and hung this on his wall the instant I presented it to him. :)
I plan to turn this sketch into something great in his memory, open to suggestions!

I am recently devastated by the loss of the brother I’d always wished I had. I am so grateful for the memories I carry with me with love, and everything he taught me from quantum physics, to human emotion and always how to relax and just laugh.
I will always be thinking of you, whenever I see a tree branch weave across the sky, golden sunlight hitting the late summer brush, walking over slick ice, folding a piece of paper, or just extending your knowledge through me to many people.
Like you said, nothing truly ever dies, life goes on and will never cease. I apologize for getting caught up on the trivial things in life, and missing precious time with you.
You posted this days before you left, and I will live by this sentiment forever. I don’t know how many times we have discussed this and I promise you that I will never slip up again, and live by the words of which I advised to you.
I respect your decision and I am not angry with you, I just ask that you come and dance with me in the sunlight every now and then because I already miss you too much.

Love, Light, and Freedom <3

In loving memory of Nicholas Wardrip

The air drifting in through the cracked door, spilling sunlight into the room, triggers memories of my home in France :’)

That fresh breeze tainted slightly of cigarette scent and car exhaust. The chill grips you and fills you with a fuzzy warmth!

Oh sweet thirty eight degree, sunny weather at the end of a Chicago winter <3

The Opium Smoker

Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:09:20 -0500

I am engulfed, and drown deliciously.

Soft music like a perfume, and sweet light

Golden with audible colours exquisite,

Swathe me with cerements for eternity.

Times is no more. I pause and yet I flee.

A million ages wrap me round with night.

I drain a milion ages of delight.

I hold the future in my memory.

Also, I have this garret which I rent,

This bed of straw, and this that was a chair,

This wornout body like a tattered tent,

This crust, of which the rats have eaten part,

This pipe of opium; rage, remorse, despair;

This soul at pawn and this delirious heart.

"But that which fairest is, but few behold, Her mind, adorned with virtues manifold."
