winter sun,

sit me down..

make me feel my own warmth,

when you're not around.

new moon in cancer:: I need to write and archive. collect and create. document and daydream. clean, organize, arrange. meditate with one point of focus. nurture what I already have — because I need beauty to be in one place, never farther than I can reach it. never somewhere else. here, now, always.

To sketch the figures in a thangka, the painter must know the proportions and measurements of each deity. These established guiding principles are called iconometry and maintained by artistic practice. The measurements are units that have no absolute values but are proportional in relation to each other--twelve small units to every large unit

— Sappho, translated and reinterpreted by Renée Vivien

I listen in dreams… The refreshing breath of your voice Flowing, like a river softly running through the orchard, Soothing the pain from the wounds of yesterday,                   Maiden of the sweet voice.

art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you

there’s something about becoming older where everything feels finite. summer isn’t endless, love isn’t eternal. you move homes, your favorite boots fall apart, your dog dies. everything feels consuming and beautiful when it is believed to be eternal. now it is all precious. everything. and there is a melancholy that comes with it.
