I have 18 weekends until graduation.
I want to do something wonderful with each of them. I’ll give myself no more than four to completely waste or use for studying, I have two retreats, one this weekend and the other in February. So, that leaves twelve. I want to do the following things with the twelve I have to my own: Camp. Somewhere either outrageously beautiful, in CA, or somewhere so close that it’s almost dumb I...

Who Killed the Ballerina?!
madebycows:
“Today we no longer believe in ballet’s ideals. We are skeptical of elitism and skill, which seem to us exclusionary and divisive. Those privileged enough to obtain specialized training, so this thinking goes, should not be elevated above those with limited access to knowledge or art. We want to expand and include: we are all dancers now.”

Just finished it. Finally. I love this woman.
You never know who or when it will hit or if it can stay the road. One thing is true- it bears watching, if you can stand to look at it.

(Irrelevant?) Fear
Things I am afraid of and think are probably irrelevant fears:
possums jumping up and biting me in my jugular, thus causing me to bleed out profusely, and to die.
my cell phone’s radiation. I just recently began to fear it- I sleep with it under my pillow and carry it in my pocket. I need to stop that.
my guitar’s strings snapping and slicing my eyeball in half (I think this was...
The Voice of the Nature of God (o.chambers)
I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: ’Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?’ —Isaiah 6:8 When we talk about the call of God, we often forget the most important thing, namely, the nature of Him who calls. There are many things calling each of us today. Some of these calls will be answered, and others will not even be heard. The call is the expression of the nature of the One who calls, and...
pinhole camera.
I made a pinhole camera last week. I’m a few exposures away from being done with the role.
I’m nervous/excited to see how they turn out.
Sonnet IV
I SHALL forget you presently, my dear, So make the most of this, your little day, Your little month, your little half a year, Ere I forget, or die, or move away, And we are done forever; by and by I shall forget you, as I said, but now, If you entreat me with your loveliest lie I will protest you with my favorite vow. I would indeed that love were longer-lived, And vows were not so brittle as...

Racing Hummingbirds,

Excited for: Hatsuhinode !
“The New Year traditions are also a part of Japanese poetry, including haiku and renga. All of the traditions above would be appropriate to include in haiku as kigo (season words). There are also haiku that celebrate many of the “first” of the New Year, such as the “first sun” (hatsuhi) or “first sunrise”, “first laughter” (waraizome—starting...
