My tarot reading did say spirituality was in front of me.

SADHANA

"YOUVE GOT TO BE QUIET INSIDE TO DO

THAT KIND OF PHOTOGRAPHY

IT'S VERY EASY TO "PHOTOGRAPH"

INANIMATE OBJECTS'- LIKE OTHER PEOPLE

BUT : TURN THE LENS RIGHT IN ON

THE VERY STUFF YOURE HIDING IN

SHOOT THE CAMERA THIS WAY!

VERY POWERFUL STUFF!

SO ALL I CAN DO ALL THE TIME IS TO

COOL MYSELF OUT

THAT'S ALL I'M DOING - NOTHING BUT

SADHANA

IF SOMEBODY SAYS : WHAT DO YOU DO, MAN?

I SAY : I DO SADHANA

SURE, BUT DON'T YOU LECTURE?

SURE, LECTURING HAPPENS BUT

I'M DOING MY SADHANA

THIS TRIP IS HELPING ME GET FREE OF MY EGO.

BECAUSE: IF I GET FREE OF MY EGO

WE ALL GET FREE OF OUR EGO

BECAUSE: THAT'S THE WAY THE TRIP WORKS

BECAUSE: WE'RE ALL THE SAME BEING AND

THAT'S THE PROBLEM- WE CAN ONLY MOVE AS

FAST AS WE ALL CAN MOVE..

YOU CAN HEAR THIS MESSAGE ONLY AS PURELY AS

I AM PURE. THAT'S THE WAY IT BOILS DOWN-

I CAN RESONATE WITH YOU IN THE HIGHEST PLACE

I AM

SO : I CAN DO NOTHING FOR YOU BUT

WORK ON MYSELF....

YOU CAN DO NOTHING FOR ME BUT

WORK ON YOURSELF! "

thanks be to Matthew's Uncle Bruce for leaving behind boxes of books for my husband to carry forward so that I might find them on my path to wherever.

on becoming the black bird and embracing wabi sabi

I fell asleep with a case of scopophilia- which I had just learned means the overwhelming desire to look. Seattle lay in the haze of the horizon. I need just wait. The amount of books packed in my carry on, ridiculous, yet nothing but enlightening. I was time travelling alone, for an extended trip, with a new identity. The glow of the sun began it's blazing ascent, first touching the clouds, then the wing outside my window, and finally resting on my sleeping neighbor's face. Through the crack in the window clouds fluttered near me, if only they could touch my face. I cried. Silently. As if baptized in my own tears, a new day began. With great welcome Emily Dickinson whispered into my ear ..... " To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, one clover, and one bee, and revery. The revery alone will do, if bees are few." And so I learned the theme of my trip. REVERIE : a daydream, a delirium, th...

i have decided on a profession

After careful consideration, I have decided to teach myself how to fix typewriters. I know where to find a repair manual and need only find the the correct tools. I plan on becoming the mid west typewriter specialist. Finding, fixing, and selling. or giving. If you really need one, I will probably give you one. If you really love it, I will probably take your picture with it before you two gallop off into the sunshine. Another happy customer.

Trash Can Annie's. Where dreams come alive.

I am lucky enough to be surrounded by vintage objects daily. I'm privileged in that way. I caught a good break having a job I adore, with people I adore. I am always secretly hoping to stumble on under appreciated treasure for my enjoyment when I am out and about. Like tap shoes in my size, for instance. Recently I had the greatest pleasure in venturing to Davenport, Iowa. First stop, Trash Can Annie's. Conveniently and lucky for us, Ragged Records, a record store, is contained within the same building. Let that soak in. Vintage clothes and records...vintage clothes and records. Give yourself hours. I mean it. With Annie's comes one of my favorite ladies in the world, who I am honored to say, I kiss smack on the lips with, a dear heart, Laura Heath. She is not in these pictures as much as I would have liked. She was too busy teaching curious people about the objects in the store. Almost all of the clothes are individually tagged, often with year, or a n...
