fast changes slow moving

There are some things I’m excited about:

I have a studio there that will serve as an art studio, another room that will serve as my reiki studio and my tarot reading room, and, a gallery.
I live really close to the Heard Museum, the Phoenix Art Museum, and the Phoenix Center for the Arts. I’m looking forward to connecting with artists and teachers and volunteering and taking classes – just being active in the arts with other creative people.
My place! I love it! I love the courtyard, I have some cool neighbors, a swimming pool and a hot tub, and a patio!
Of course – my man and Seraphina.
Not driving over 100 miles a day to get back and forth to work. My situation right now is incredibly unsustainable. In fact – I am focusing on walking and/or biking distance.
A bedroom and a bathroom of my own. A door to close.
My own bed!
The chance to make more money.
The possibility of starting a band!
Fun places to rock my new haircut. (I know, sounds silly, but, I really like places that have ambience and style . . . )
The possibility of restarting grad school

Nada Moves Me

So the other day, I almost wept when I watched this video. I know, weird, it’s of a woman talking about lyric poetry and flarf in her kitchen. But she also talks about poetic forms as a response to the absurdity and insanity of our world, a way to cope with the craziness that we live in—and if a creative response isn’t a positive one, I don’t know what is.

Mad Girl’s Love Song by Sylvia Plath “I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my lids and all is born again. (I think I made you up inside my head.) The stars go waltzing out in blue and red, And arbitrary blackness gallops in: I shut my eyes and all […]
