Crazy for the textural and layering possibilities with outerwear
this editorial gives me butterflies
It's cold outside
and my sleeves are long
I can't reach out to stop the ball before it rolls into the street
There's no real tragedy here,
I motion to a car that I am about to cross
and I make it to the other side without a scratch.
Back on the lake it was less predictable.
The dangers weren't as obvious as a moving car.
__
I heard the sounds of animals and calls of birds
Myself, I was unimportant in the midst of it all.
Meaning vulnerable. You are no more important or precious
than the birds whose feathers fill your bedding
or the animals whose fur line your garments and boots.
It's funny though, as I wrap myself in man made nylon
defense against the dusting of water particles blowing like snowflakes in the wind
I am still at the lake, but it is as if I brought the moving car along inside my weekend satchel.
Amazing Examples of High Tang Art in murals and sculpture. These temples and Grottoes are carved out from the landscape by traveling Buddhists on the silk trail around 2000 years ago. It is difficult to see from these few photos found with some quick research, but you can imagine the majesty and overwhelming effect they must have when seen in person...

it is a great concept that I feel privileged to be a part of, and hope it can be a meaningful archive later down the road.

these awesome illustrations are done by duo Raphaël Urwiller & Mayumi Otero
they make books, posters, prints, and are amazing storytellers through their limitless imaginations.
Speaking with the artists, this project was done during moments of 'non-productivity', and a way to stay productive while procrastinating.
Enjoy! and check out their work on their website

The Great Big blueness
around the little brown boat
was a carpet of ripples and waves and foam
concealing the world beneath
The wake of the little brown boat
left open a smooth passageway
into the great deep blue that expanded out below
The Great Big blue sky
reflected onto the ripples and waves and foam
the ocean disguised to resemble the
great big expanse of the open air above
the sky which is never ending and infinite
while the depth of the oceans are tangible
and defined by the earth's core
its shores are navigable and discovered
while the sky's beginning is as illusive as the horizon
and its territory is the final frontier
