montage of random images and quotes by thoreau

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. 

Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends... Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

Do what you love. Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still.

Here are some lovely quotes from Aristotle

Happiness in the meaning and purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.

You will never do anything in this world without courage.

Excellence is an art won my training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

No genius has ever existed without some touch of madness.

Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

This will be me when I go traveling

Oh my love

With you I drift away

Oh my love

With you I drift away

Via Knightcat

Im going to put these lyrics to music:

We sail on clouds

Of red and blue

And the wind on which we travel

Baby it sparkles like you

And Ide like to ask

Where my love are we going

Yo a far wawy land you say

A far far away palce

Oh my love

With you I drift away

Oh my love

With you I drift away

Neither hurricanes nor tornados

Can stop us now

Not the internal battles even

That so easily get in between

We just run through

Through the walls and the wind

Into the feilds of wide open

Wide open love

Oh my love

With you I drift away

Oh my love

With you I drift away

Seeing is wonderful
Living is wonderful
In the right company
How I wish, my love, you could see me

But you only see reflections of yourself
In the glass mirror that is your life
I want nothing else then for you to be right
You simply are what you believe

New room, Viola!

So, Ive redone a wall of my room
that had been white and pasty
for way too long.

Listening to The Weathertunes,

(Forget the video in this link. Just close your eyes for this one),

cutting up pages from Nylon and Sunset Magazine,
and collaging with bright, shiny, silver tacks makes for a splendid afternoon.

A photo I took while up in The Angeles Crest Forest

Stunning!

A photo I took in Downtown.
One of the most confusing street signs around;
hopefully nobody thinks its real.

Snippet from a Nylon Magazine Editorial

That thumbnail of a man on the right is going to be my future husband.
Or at least somebody similar to him.
I stole this photo out of a magazine at the doctors office.

Never knew ripping paper could be so loud.

A piece I did. Charcoal on paper.
