pieces of porcelain and licking the boot please?

pieces of porcelain ; do you write about your darling ? what do you write ?

Winnet: When I have one yes but it’s typically more so negative? I find it easier to write when I’m in that state of mind.

Nell: The beloved is the condition under which I become capable of writing at all. I write the world as it appears once they have entered it, the sudden conviction that everything means something and is addressed, however obliquely, to them. In other words, I write through a darling, as well as every individual that I encounter. Letters, mostly.

But the beloved, the real one, breathing, elsewhere, never asked to be made into an occasion for beauty. They wanted, perhaps, only to be wanted plainly, and instead I gave them the one thing more lasting and more evasive than desire— art. And so the artist loves twice: once toward the living person who may turn away, and once toward the figure on the page who never will.

licking the boot ; do you obey your darling, or does your darling obey you ?

Winnet: Both! I identify as a switch and typically so do the people I tend to be obsessed with.

Nell: Does the fang obey the bleeding vein, or does the pulse surge only to greet the bite? I wish for my darling to submit their soul to my unending hunger, and in that surrender, rule me entirely. Make me the sovereign of their writhing flesh, and I will crawl upon bloodied knees to lap the tears from their eyes (I tend to deem sufferings beautiful, drawn to the wretch whom with infinite delight I draw into the abyss).

But I have never met someone who meets me face to face, who is . . . hungry enough. Cruel enough. One that may be born of me—that you exist because I authored your path—yet turns at last upon the one who made them and exceeds me by force. I bend the whole of my will toward another's becoming, and a will that bends toward another's ascendancy is the most servile thing imaginable, dressed up as mastery. But that remains a distant dream.

March Bird Whisperer: Green Jay

This bird is totally new to me but I love his little face so much. That nose plumage and bushy eyebrow! Adorable!

I got really into the shape of him here, the spindly stretch of his legs and the curve of his back were really interesting to me.

Bring the Color by Todd Wynia Via Flickr: This green jay really brings color to the party. This is one of 28 lifer birds that I got on our 3-day adventure in the Texas Rio Grande Valley this past week. I went with a list of 70 target lifer birds and I found 28, which I consider a win! The only place you'll find green jays in the U.S. is in the Southern tip of Texas. But they're pretty prevalent there.
