just words

falling . kate rusby

considering moments...

this was a good one

there was a whale of cloud

(click to enlarge)

where my brain resides this hour

proof that amazing comes in red-headed packages and coveralls

You are Marianne Dashwood

Most girls can relate with Marianne on a more personal level than some of Austen's other characters. She represents the emotional longings and struggles that seem to attack and bless us at the same time. Loyal to a fault, passionate for experience and life, and a bit over-emotional, Marianne matures and grows (making her so beloved).

this came as no surprise
waiting for my Colonel Brandon
who will love me despite all that

i want to live till fall

so i can go see this

by myself

she's shiny

here are her words

current listen:
Garden State soundtrack

it continues...

mercy and i went out for a mini session
get used to the borrowed camera
check out a location

the light was a demon
(all my sunsets are taken up this week)

yet, we got a couple

just

last night i dreamt there was evil penetrating my home

woke to stare into the window lit wall
listen to the city rumble out its 3am song

dearth of calm in the pith of this swell

i crafted that phrase waiting for sleep to come again and mask the fear

***

thankful for daily touchstones,
icons of God's continual movement
such as the dusk
it's ruddy cycle
never waivering


while i quake

London fika

here we are:
the golden trio
on a cold day
in london
with tea

and across the street...

this may very well be the moment i fell in love

(kate took photo 2 & 3)

glimpse

moss and stone
rooftops and birds
nude beauty

this

another iphone offering
the world would be a safer place
if i stopped shooting out my windshield
while driving manual in traffic

let that be enough...

Thankful for

sun and blue skies
after
grey clouds and dashing wet

brother at wheel
after
lonely drives

late night flick with friend
after
going to bed early in prep for early mornings

exhaustion from dancing
after
exhaustion from mental clenching

clean clothes
after
loads of laundry

Jeremiah
after
Isaiah

butter partial moon
after
full moon unseen behind a bank of storm

"I know, I understand"
after
just me?


bread and wine
after
inability of seeing God's blessing






If you can't remember a better time
you can have mine, little one.
In days to come when your heart feels undone
may you always find an open hand
and take comfort wherever you can.
Deb Talan

read somewhere:
iphone is the new polaroid

i concur
if hesitantly

even now...

the trees are blushing and blanching
in blossoms both subtle and rash

i never remember it like this

it's a startling newness
just like these emotions and understandings

not sure where they originated
what they herald
whom they belong to
how swift their exit

yet there is beauty
now

even now

oh dear

please pray calm upon me
