My Cup of Tea @cre-nation - Tumblr Blog

It’s funny to think that this blog was 7 years old so many years ago. Part of me feels bad for neglecting it because it’s such an archive of my aesthetic in that time. Looking back on it I feel like I came home. The photos still make me feel the same as they did so many years ago. I guess it makes sense that I came home during this time, the end of 2020.

Right now I’m sitting here next to the love of my life and thinking about how a navy rug would look amazing in our room and how I get frustrated that there’s not a word for my fashion style.

“The realm of creativity is interior, and is a mysterious interior journey. Trappist monk Thomas Merton said, ‘our real journey in life is interior …’ To enter the realm of the interior, the moonlit night of dreams, of the Muse goddess, of howling she-wolves, we must leave behind boundaries, rules, and fixations and embrace the realm of intuition and imagination. Over her lifetime, the Beat poet Diane di Prima continues to rant, ‘the only war that matters is the war against the imagination.’ To protect and revere the imagination we need to step beyond hope and fear and enter unknown territory. In Tibetan Buddhism this unknown is a bardo, or gap, the word often used for the place between death and rebirth–yet it is also a place of in-between states of our so-called awake life: a place of pregnant uncertainty and opening into creative space.”
