@yvel_lf and me- A remarkable evening spent walking around Notre Dame de Lorette, Moulin Rouge, Montmartre and Galleries Lafayette. Felt fortunate to share our love for music, food, languages and people, with this talented young Mexican-French global citizen/ artist/rocker/dreamer who wanted to meet and make new friends and be part of the multi-cultural world I am exploring this year. What started out as an outing arranged by an app (#showaround great app for accessing experiences with locals), ended up being an evening spent discussing stories of us, our lives, our origins, our connections across the world, our dreams and aspirations. Thank you Yvel- you made my stay in Paris special by affording your earnest research of local sights and sharing parts of your life and cosmos with me. 2017 will indeed be a year of radical exploration- of finding new friends, discovering community. Strangers with kind faces in far off places. Community is a slice of belonging and a shared humanity wherever we go. check out @yvel_lf and his band www.laminarflowband.com #storiesofus #community #globalcitizensunite #affinitywithoutborders #beradicalbefree #petitmonde (à Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, Paris)

Was craving a slice of home food. Bolly nan montorgueil lunch prix fixe did the trick. Cabillaud fish curry, dal and rice with a glass of cotes du Rhone vin blanc under 15 eur pp. Yes back on track on the budget. Gentleman that served me insisted he speak in my native tongue and called me big sister, Akka in Tamil- did make me feel a bit old. And generously offered a dose of the hottest pickle they had. I said no, thanks, am the world's worst Indian and can't stomach spice. #brotherhood #sisterhood #indian #bengali #curry #frenchindian #big sister (at 12 rue des Petits Carreaux 75002 Paris)

This beautiful sky was front and fore-center on a sunny fall day on the NJ turnpike. It made me want to pull over and write about the sun and the stars. Was listening to Sleeping Ute #grizzlybear (Nicolasjaar remix) thx you @selenapersad for the fontcandy idea. #sky #stars #road #homecoming #love #instapoetry #writersofinstagram #writersofig #poetrycommunity #poetry #iphonephoto #fontcandy

Free verse (To the right) I wrote as an ode to skateboarders outside the MACBA Barcelona. Taking inspiration from the daily. #barcelona #macba #art #perspective #inspiration #freeverse #attitude #instapoet #juntos #freedom #iphonephotography (at MACBA Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona)

This poem was written in a moment of emptiness. Rejection in the creative process, random acts of online dating, the shrill stillness of desert. It all seemed empty somehow. #emptiness #heartbreak #creativeprocess #datingapps #desert #newmexico #particles #blackholes #instapoet #poetry #poetrycommunity #writersofinstagram #poetsofinstagram #iphonephotography (at Taos, New Mexico)

This is a poem about love.I wrote this when listening to 'She just likes to Flight' on a flight. (thank you Four Tet @fourtetkieran). Your beat inspired my linebreaks 😌 Flight I twirl twirl twirl around and around and around through dizzying scape of snow, raindrops, tear drops. White blue clouds hanging on my shoulders. I turn turn turn turn Directionless. Unbound. Mist passing through me me passing through myth chancing to be discovered by you. I dance dance dance dance a mad banshee dervish of love Ecstasy waiting be found. And then you grip the tips of my fingers lightly. with the murmur of your pulse you bear down on me, leading me through raindrops. You wet my lips with unspoken whispers. Revelation. You open skies and windows. So I can flight. But your spell bound love dream has me close on tether. Come to me lover so I can succumb. So I cannot flight Instead unfold. And be bowed by you Turned over and around. Promise. Lead me there finally so we can sit down dizzy and breathless on sprawling grass and peonies. And I will look at you and forever beam. #lovepoems #love #fourtet #djs #poetry #poetrycommunity #writersofinstagram #poetsofinstragram #mixedmedia #instapoet #romantic #iphonephotography
