A Room in Paris

2011-08-23T00:31:00.000-07:00

So far from home, we make our home.
My little room on the very top floor of a Parisian hostel in the 12th arr., Boulevard de Picpus. I kept my sandwich and coconut water cold by placing them outside the window all night. See them?

Jim Morrison's Grave Site, Pere Lechaise, Paris, France

KATA TON DAIMONA EAYTOY

People say over and again that his grave is very difficult to locate. I found his grave easily, just walked to it. It seemed I had visited it many times during my life, even though this was my first physical visit to Paris.

My New Year pole at dawn January 1st, 2011. The pole is a 7' bamboo one, wrapped in lights with some toys hanging here and there on it.

Silver, Sharp

2010-10-23T01:38:00.000-07:00

An impartial observer, the moon remains quiet.

There is no disbelief in her stare.

No judgment or affection. She won't identify.

The moon is white, the sky black.

The stars do their glittering.

Only the moon's gleam betrays her silence.

The moon's isolation is sharp as

The scent of a dead thing.

But she does not feel lonely.

The moon has no bad dreams.

She was created dumb

With no fear of dying in the daylight.

Last Day of September

2010-09-30T08:59:00.000-07:00

Our summer was mild. I could walk on the sidewalk barefoot every day. I miss little ones trailing behind me. Asking questions. Learning simple pieces of life together. Times have become harder, rougher, less predictable. This week, the last of September, has turned hot, as if summer finally turned around to dig her talons into my brain. As if she is reminding me that she is not...quite...gone YET. I hope for cooler weather soon, leaves of color, breezes. Rain to wash me.

Lights

2010-05-31T09:47:00.000-07:00

I like it. I envision colourful, shiny streamers hanging from the fixture to reflect the lights. Or dried roses entertwined in the branches.

CASH FOR CHAOS

2010-05-19T01:00:00.000-07:00

The side of his casket read "Too fast to live Too young to die" - Malcolm McClaren's funeral cortege through Camden Market, London. On the back of the glass-enclosed carriage hung a lovely A-for-Anarchy made of red roses. What would Sid's funeral procession have looked like... had he had one?

The Year of the Yang Metal Tiger

General Predictions for the Year of the Tiger

The year of the Tiger is traditionally associated with massive changes and social upheaval. Therefore, 2010 is very likely to be a volatile one both on the world scene, as well as on a personal level.

Cheyenne

2010-03-24T23:55:00.000-07:00

Precious and dear, Cheyenne. What a lucky family we are to have had you with us for so many years, through good times and bad times and plain ol' day-to-day times. Your loyalty was noble, dignified, unforgettable, unshakable. You had eyes the colour of fine absinthe; I can see them now. Oh, how I miss your warm, huggable little body... your sweet one gray toe, your peach ear. Your spirit is with me, though, and will arise again.

Simplicity

2010-03-13T22:20:00.000-08:00

Almost every morning I eat an oat cake for breakfast. Apricot (not pictured) is my favorite kind, tho' all are delicious and healthy. An oat cake means the new day has arrived, so the day before is over, done, and it's time to move on.

Karmechanics, or What is Karma?

2010-03-08T22:02:00.000-08:00

Oftentimes, I hear someone say, "Well, that's their karma!" as though "karma" is something that has to do with Judeo-Christian cause & effect / right & wrong morality and ethics. In actuality, the word "karma" means action.

Simply: Action.

Karma is not a cosmic system of justice and retribution. There is no unseen judge pulling the strings of karma to punish wrongdoers. Karma is as objective as gravity. What goes up does come down; what you do is what happens to you. A simple law of cause and effect.

Karma is not the only force that causes things to happen in the world. If a terrible flood wipes out a community, it is incorrect use of the term to state that karma somehow brought about the flood or that the people in the community deserved to be punished for something, because karma is as neutral as nature itself.

Chairs

2010-03-08T17:33:00.000-08:00

The chair in red tones is a vintage sewing chair. It was a dull dark green, so I amped it up with the red/orange/purple accents. The green chair was white with a faded rainbow on it...greens/orange looked so much perkier.

Mercy Acacia

2010-02-19T17:25:00.000-08:00

Every year, right about the 12th of February, the acacia trees up near the RR track in east Sactown bloom. 100's of little fluffy yellow flowers on each sprig.

This picture is in honor of my dear mother-in-law, Lacie, who loved flowers, trees and birds with all her sweet soul.

West Coast Winter

2010-02-11T00:14:00.000-08:00

The trees are beginning to bloom in early-to-mid February.
Against rain sky, magnificence of ocean-air fresh afternoon, cool;
Surfing a raindrop trembling on a green leaf, exceptional balance.

A Cappuccino

2010-02-10T19:09:00.000-08:00

To answer the question: Yes, "real" milk (whole milk) foams more cooperatively (easily) than 1% or 2% milk. Breve (half-&-half) seems to foam equally as well as whole milk.

Soy is trickier; it's like working with slightly thickened water. With plenty of practice, though, soy will foam beautifully.

The colder the milk & the colder the metal pitcher, the more successful the foam. Foam should look like this cappuccino; silky and thick. The "perfect" cap has the golden ring of crema around the edge.

Enjoy!

A Shrine

2010-02-09T17:37:00.000-08:00

There is a small container on this shrine and inside of that container is the tiny baby from a Mardi Gras King Cake sent to me by a dear friend one year.
This shrine contains many symbols, representations, and memories, joys, sadness, and mysteries.

Rooms

2010-02-09T17:32:00.000-08:00

The magic Witch of Positano lived in this room. Somewhere I have a photograph of The Dreaming Room in San Francisco, which is the most mystical and eerie location I have ever experienced. The Witch's room seems to me to be an adjunct of the Dreaming Room.

Moss in the Trees

2010-02-08T17:29:00.000-08:00

I watched a compelling documentary about Kurt Cobain. What I liked best about it was the moss in the trees near Aberdeen and Seattle. From the redwood forests of Northern California all the way up the west coast, probably into Canada, certain trees have moss draped on their branches.
