inspiration no.1


today I chose patience and presence, and I am so grateful for that, and for friends who care.

gratitude...fill yourself up with it. It really is okay if what we love is gone tomorrow, or in the next moment. Love them intensely for just this moment. We can be grateful for beauty, kindness, pain that pushes us to new experiences and understanding, we can love every breath, every sensation. I had an idea for a visual of this, to cut flowers and leaves and the form of a tree from origami paper; as we give and recieve, the tree will bloom. Each kindness is written on the back of a flower or leaf. Our tree will be a big, Gustav Klimt 1 sort of tree covering up some ripped wallpaper and adding art to our otherwise empty room. love love love gustav klimt. I just may take up painting. 'til tomorrow, take good care.
