not a far stretch
I meant to write about this ages ago but forgot. Back in the winter I went to see Food Inc (frustrating, enlightening, and not necessarily told from an animal advocates' point of view, but still good) and in one scene, pigs are out to pasture laying down in the sun. As the pigs are being filmed one of them who had been lying down gets up, takes a ( Read more... ) -

Lastnight I dreamed I held a balled up flower blossom in my hand, and watched it slowly open in front of my eyes. It was dark outside. A piece of green would peel back and some bright orange petals would shine through. I just kept staring at my hands and at the flower blooming before my eyes.
There are many moments on many days when I think ( Read more... ) -

graduation time means book time!
Did I mention that I finally am done school?! Yes, it's true. I officially graduate on the 17th.
I stumbled into Macondo the other day after the market and found two used books that put a smile on my face.

you change not a thing.
This holiday was better than some others past, even though I've since lost some people.

Lastnight I was made aware of that impermanence again, seeing faces all around that were ( Read more... ) -
we were greeting the sun before long
Losing sleep is totally worth it sometimes. It's worth staying up until the sky gets grey instead of black, with 7 people on a bed and the rest strumming away on strings, with cigarette smoke and harmonies in the air, a wide-open window with no screen and giant snowflakes blowing in. It's worth skipping the morning routine for ten extra minutes of ( Read more... ) -

Happy World Vegan Month!! Woo. This fall is the start of my 4th year of veganism! hurray! In my search for my first vegan post, I came across this one. Reading it again makes me realize how my knowledge of these issues has grown over the years (especially from being at school), and how my feelings have remained the same. I sound so bitter in that ( Read more... ) -
on swallowing (s)words
Tonight everything is fleeting. I miss your presences, even if you shy away from my touch. I miss how you make the air alive and the light more full, how you look at me not through me, acknowledge my presence and value it. I miss the lines on my face that appear when I laugh ( Read more... ) -

...but what does it all mean?!
A few weeks ago I had a dream in which an old friend of mine passed away. I wasn't witness to his death, but everyone I saw as I went about my daily activities was mentioning it and talking about it. There was speculation about whether it was suicide, although no one seemed to know how he died. I remembered how we used to go out dancing, how much ( Read more... )
