Frozen Memories That Life Does Remedy.

Frozen Memories

photos and poem by me

Frozen memories, shiny towers of bone like memories

I look down from those high above places on my tippy toes with fishnet laces

I remember you true blue those flower showers that nobody knew

 Toes and fingertips I blow a kiss to you, as they freeze into memories holding onto the new

Deep in my house I turn about spinning with those frozen roses

As the water fall does spout dampening all my gentle poses. 

Sliding down those icey places in my shoes with frozen laces

All of me is getting cold preserving those thoughts that feel so old

Shining down from those high above places

Sun burning into these icy cold flowers faces

But it can’t seem to penetrate those hard frozen cases water does satiate

In this moment I think in my head of all those roses I left for dead

Turning point for those safe places in my mind ice creates those spaces

Turning down from that high above view now I carry these frozen memories to you

Here you go a block of ice, kiss it and freeze that kiss so nice

So I can remember who you were and in the moment feel the love of the one I adore

Kiss you deep from those frozen places as I open up those spaces

As that hot rose begins to beam, melting ice from deep within it's seams

The sun still kept deep within those hot rose vessels, those seeds sewn deep where hot sun still nestles

Planting love now from those places, frozen daisy’s loose their faces

For as the ice begins to melt they turn brown and whither with your feelings you felt.

Those withering feelings cry out loud let me go and it lifts like a shroud

Icy melting watery drops as my heart melts non-stop

All over the cement this once cold liquid heats with my heart poured all over the city streets.

Listening

Listening is the subtle awakening of a voice that is not you,

Coming through you like your traveling through time.

Little time does it waiste and it screams during the situation in your face,

At a tiny little message in a tiny little bottle thrown across the sea finding it's way as it floats alone under the stars.

Water splashes against the glass holding it delicately as it travels somewhere,

Unknown to a girl in a window that's always known it was there.

But did not think of it as God blows the wind and the water pushes against the stars,

And the moon pulling the sea closer to the land in every moment calling this message to you ever closer ever closer.

It moves towards you as you are in the process of creating a thought,

Back into your body closer and closer it's coming but you never know when.

Then all of a sudden pop back into your heart,

Listen breathe listen breathe it pulls you but your not sure of what it is.

Do you follow it or keep doing what your doing, do you listen or keep talking?

Stop Stop Stop it says.

Do you have the self control to do what it is telling you,

Stop, just hold like a balloon floating through space as you put the ice cream and cookies down on the register and say,

I don't want this I'm sorry, and walk away,

Put your keys in the ignition and drive home.

I imagine the beginning of creation could look something like this. You opening your arms again. Can you see it in a pile of leaves, The beginning of something. A crack in the wall. The beauty of a speck, These veins made of light and a wish, Now you can see how it begins, And begin again. . . #creation *Prints available upon request.

Tiny little treasures. If you take three little things in your life that seem useless to be grateful for, you can begin to see how they have in some way supported you in getting to where you are. When you can see the magic in how each object brought you closer to what you wanted you can shift into a knowing that the universe is supporting you and working for you to help you create your life the way you want it to look. Then every thought, object and experience can become a learning on how to uplift in a greater way. . . #gold #color #soft #thelittlethings #tinytreasures #📷byme #artist #gratitude #love #creation #paint #happiness

The Light Within

  "The light within." Acrylic on Canvas 14X11". Today my intention is to be more confident. For some reason it feels so uncomfortable to share when I don't feel confident. It takes so much courage to be vulnerable in this world. Yet being courageous and sharing my truth is strengthening and brings more confidence. It's so interesting how that works. Just being honest can free up energy. Sometimes it can be as simple as saying, I'm not not sure about how I feel. Others will try and place meaning on your experience,but the strength and courage you've built up in being vulnerable will always help you see your own truth and hold the light within you.

I always loved the look and feel of rosin. I grew up with it. Even the taste of it forever etched into my memory from when it would get everywhere and somehow into my mouth, it was bitter and unsatisfying compared to how it looked. It always seemed magical to me like a secret weapon and was always wrapped in velvet with a gold stretchy band and tigers eye type button or in this case something that resembles a ring case. It was always shiny at first and turned powdery soft as I would stretch my bow hair across it. I remember using it till it had a dent so deep the hair would scratch the bottom. So pretty and unique rosin like amber but with a magical power to deepen the sound of each stroke on the cello. #rosin #myyouth #cellist #music #artist #creativity

Awakening into a Greater Love in the Midst of Chaos.

As I work in a very public place I see hundreds of people a day. I am in the midst of the public so I get to hear a lot of what different people are experiencing. Ever since the debates started everyone’s been more irritable this upset more irritable energy has come at me and was apparent everyday I was there. What I witnessed was that each person was in a world of their own. It’s like everyone’s filters and experiences and view was so different of what I perceived was happening. The one thing I did notice and spoke about with a few people was a view from a creative stand point. That view was this, during this election process something was being unearthed in all of us. When we spoke it was about how it was an awareness of how we create as a whole. When I talked to people we talked about the books we read in high school with dystopian futures with a tyrant at the helm where everyone was watched and people weren’t allowed to feel, books like 1984, and Farenheight 451, and Brave New World. These were the books and movies that we loved that made huge impacts on our lives and molded who I am at least. What I noticed when talking to them was that there is awakening happening, this looked like an awareness of a collective consciousness and ability to create from that consciousness that we never knew we had. I feel like it’s also an opportunity to look on all things that have happened to us in our lives as perfect in our learning process on this planet. I know I’m learning that there are things out of our control and leading us and guiding us perfectly into a new spiritual evolution. I’m not a scholar or expert on the subject however, I have a view point as an artist with a spiritual practice. I look at it as an opportunity for at least me to look back on my existence and send love to every part. I feel like we are awakening into a knew age of greater love compassion and awareness and the knowledge of our creative consciousness as a whole. I also think its a reminder that our outer surroundings don’t have to effect our inner beauty and love and the freedom is within. 

Love and light to all of us.. ❤️️❤️️

Failing my way to the top

My job, my main job in my life is being happy right now and as a part of that I took a physical job a while back, this is a job that may not seem so pretty to others and part of me is really afraid of sharing about it. The people and experiences I have are often times so surprising to me yet I use them to uplift myself at the same time. I experience many behaviors of humans I didn't even know existed up until now. I've seen a whole new side of humanity at this job and although it does bring in extra income, I choose to look at it as a choice to be there and as a service to others. By service to others I mean and one example of this is setting intentions, one intention I set is to make each customer smile before they walk away and I usually attain that goal. People come in from all wakes of life, famous, homeless and anywhere in between. Yes thats my meter famous on one end and homeless on the other, it seems to fit for now:) I work in a heavy customer service position, I'm not going to say where but I look at it as all a part of my journey, my art and my expression.  As I create my life in a bigger way my sharing this is a part of my learning how to find the perfection and beauty in the lessons from this job so I can look at it as a blessing instead of seeing it or myself as being less than because I may not be exactly where I want to in life yet.  I choose in every moment to find the greater blessing in each person, situation and experience I have.  Today I am grateful to be as creative as I am for it's amazing being able to look at everything as a perfect expression of me and my art and not as something that doesn't look the way it should.  So in essence I will leave you with this story of one of my interactions;

A very famous actor and his girlfriend came in, I won't say who but he is the lead in a super hero film franchise and his girlfriend an actress. As they came up to me I asked them how they were, they replied fine and asked how I was, for some reason I blurted out, "just failing my way to the top one dead end job at time." They looked at me and said nothing not even a blink, let alone a laugh. I stared at them uncomfortably and said, "just kidding I love my job." Still nothing, "tough crowd I replied." A screaming customer then ran up them telling them they were a fan. When the customer left I quietly asked them, "do you get embarrassed when that happens?" they replied yes actually I do. I smiled and said okay and finished the transaction and they left.

Mark Twain said, 

Fame is a vapor; popularity an accident; the only earthly certainty is oblivion. - Mark Twain's Notebook

Alright I pulled that quote off the internet pretty fast and I often do feel insecure about fame and popularity, just today I was feeling immense jealousy thinking about all the people that are leading exciting lives, or their lives seem more thrilling than mine. The thing is I'm learning to accept my life just the way it is and myself and utilize my unique expression. In that process of acceptance I am learning that all the insecurities and doubts I have are all perfect and a part of my experience and learning on this planet and that helps me stay inspired.  

Love and Light,

What?! Faces in the palm trees my hands wave in the night breeze. I'm feelin' kinda bougie cause it's a hundred degrees. In shiny california, got stars up in my aura, because I do adore ya. Words snap on tongue like pop rocks I love you more with each shock. Snap crackle down on my block each kiss leaves me with shell shock. #losangeles #poem #creativity #photography #fun #sunday #photography #nature #moon #📷byme

The snooty fox was quite a box I lost. Can you lift a leg? Damn it a wooden leg no I don't want that but a hat and a bat so I can shake this place down. The wind blows hard as the feathers fly around. Au revoir my friends, two girls sit in a French cafe and they don't even know I exist. I am a cheap motel made of bricks and hounds. The foxes chase me around daily as I fall to the ground. Gitty up little babe for your flesh is sweet and squishy and I want to drink of your joy. Gulp gulp the fat pig lays there in the mud. #motel #losangeles #poem #crearivity #📷byme #drivingaround

Mustang. Life is a mustang made of wood riding down the avenue through a neighborhood of clouds. Cough cough I gamble in it. Can you make me a cheese sandwhich so I can make my way home? Not in this car but on it. Someone pull over and burn it to the ground so we won't be able to drive it any more. My home, I built you but I stop for food anyway. #poem #writing #motel #losangeles #randomplaces
