Half Life.


Dear friends, I have had quite a week of it.  

I have been too silent in this space, too absent in my studio, too tired through my days, and restless in the nights.  The good news is I know now I'm on the incline.  And feel as though, figuratively I'm reopening my eyes, and picking everything back up off the floor...

- I'm taking photographs of food again, which is always a good sign of my mental health! -


A new coffee pot.  Pure cream, and the best of supermarket Scandinavian confectionary - 
'Anna's Ginger Thins'...


Organic corn and spinach chips with eggplant Kasaundi, pickles, pepitas & macadamias have helped nourish me back into fine and artistic spirits.

My friend and I have walked, and talked at length, about the world, our place in it, and within that - our place with each other.  And we are at a good place, as ever we were...

Owing to that, I am in good mind to say; that here I am!  Humming this, thinking of that, reclaiming my strength, and venturing back.  To here.

Hope you too are well.

  3. Your eyes do look slightly troubled, or at least distant, in that first picture. I hope you find the calm you seek. Funny, I consider myself taking pictures of random things a sign that my mind is calmer, clearer too :) Smile x

  5. Dearest friend; you inspire me today - the way you can pick yourself up by nourishing your self with good food, your heart with good company, and your spirit with truth (which is SO good)

    Kle, that song is currently on high rotation through my MacBook speakers, love it, love her! Thank you for your friendship from so far away - I heart your spirit sister!

    Emily, the key words, as I re-read them in your comment: Self Food Heart Company Spirit Truth Good - Amen to this...

    Kerri, Stop being so darned inspiring! I cannot keep up with your brilliance! I love you!
