The front line
goldenmeg:
I’m doing my best to be on the front line of humanity. Up here where it is do-or-die and you have to take care of yourself if you are going to live to battle another day. This battle is against fear, hunger, discrimination, hate. I’m up here to protect those who cannot fight. Up here kindness and wisdom rules. Music, art and conversation are weapons. Weapons, in the right hands, that...

The pictures below are of images of whiteness.
The open spaces that pureness takes in and breathes out.
I drown when I was a child. Thus my love for the Margaret Atwood poem.
A part of me is always water.
I take on the weight of expectations and the release of cleansing.
I am in between the white space of peace
and the chaos of knowing too much too soon.
These images define that part of...

This Is A Photograph Of Me
Margaret Atwood
It was taken some time ago.

In the background...
Get out of the Clouds?
Reasons I will never fully get out of the clouds.
The view is way better and you can spot the closest candy store much faster.

When others lives are sad and blue they secretly dispise you and are mean. Truth is they wish they...

Huck and Tom
My friend Sophie lives in Maine. We go on adventures like Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. Last time I visited we found a ton of beautiful old bottles like these. We pulled them out of the soft earth and found them hidden under leaves and amongst other earthly treasures. I brought some of them home with me. They sit at the base of my bathtub and hold wild flowers in summer and greenery in winter. Mostly...
