silly little bug

humbug. bah. bug hum. bugs humming.

looking for a little hum. a little bug.

it's been awhile since there was a little bug humming around my ear.

a pretty bug. a sweet bug. a fun bug with a pretty, certain hum.

hum day.

tomorrow. tomorow?

cause and effect.
the effects affecting you deeply.

pausing before you act.
pausing before you speak.

thinking...the lost moments.

not thinking at all.
loving something for what it is.
not asking anymore.
being present.


play.
pure uninhibited play.

joy.
dancing, the freedom.
frolic. uninhibited happiness.
the contagiousness of joy.
the ability to transfer it to others through a smile. touch. glance.

days that seem to unfold by magic.
the way a flower opens in the morning.
truly thoughtful about the moment you are in.
unconcerned about the next.
the focus should be now.
faith that the next will work itself out.

creating the energy.
knowing.
being sure enough to share it.
sharing it makes more.
makes it pure.
makes

it goes on

being

seeing

sharing

Upon Encountering The Crippled Elephant

what do you do?
what do i do?
when do i do it?
how do i get started?

welcome to summer.

start now.

as for what....anything until the right thing comes....it always comes. right?
here's to doing!

beauty in dirt

creating. art. product. the people who see the small things.

that's all we are. designers, artists, we are the ones who see the little things.
weeds as the most beautiful thing on earth, and the next minute its the bug on the weeds.

we see the gravel in the concrete and the sparkle in the broken beer bottle in the street.

the wonder in chipped paint, and the sorrow in a perfectly kept yard.

the sadness in an overly cleaned house.

the love in lumpy cookies.

the love in a picture thoughtfully done in macaroni.

the love in a doodle.

the joy in a found lost note.

pulling it all together...

being able to let a song a move you.
move you to dance.
move you to cry.
move you to make it into a drawing.
move you to make it into 20 drawings.
move you to cry when you see the drawing over a year later.
move you to remember things you you've forgotten for years.

relax. see the small things. love them. thats what its all about.

its like licking the mixers after baking a cake, or making a necklace out of clover flowers.

slow down.
love it all.
see it all.
don't worry about understanding.

take it in.
love.
life.

morning

sunny spring morning.....*devilish smile, eye brows raised*
this is the kind of morning that makes me want to get in the car or on the bike and go look for an adventure.
i have a test today in CIVE, but the day feels open.
maybe i'm just feeling sassy, but i feel like I could take on the world armed with a tube of lipgloss and a full tank of gas.
crazy? maybe, but who knows maybe one day when i wake up feeling like this i'll do it.
today i'll have to settle for a small adventure that still lets me take care of the business at hand.
one day.
this summer?
the day school lets out this semester?
i have a stash for adventures right now....this is happening.
be scared. hehe
i'll be in the news for being bad ass.
get ready.
