Come to court

Playing come to court with our best friend, many hours already spent in his presence, over the course of a weekend, though we only camped one night.
I sit in my closet, crouched in the space behind my two plastic bins. I hear doors slamming, feet pounding, and small voices calling.
Hy is it, we're playing come to court, and they still haven't found me, though voices and feet now draw close.
"Hola!" Hy yells, I am found, and I am reluctantly drawn from behind the bins.

Why are people so judgmental?

Sunshine Diffused

The infant-glow of a seashell in the afternoon, sad music playing to a tightly wound ball of yarn in my chest.

Sunsets and clouds and light

Six photos, just for you. Some of the beauty I find daily, but from quite a while ago.

Rainbow

On the ceiling in the afternoon.

Utaha two months ahead

Fires rage
as light fades
all with uncertainty

Reasons

I am happy today because:
I read "The Beauty of Different: Observations of a Confident misfit" by Karen Walrond.

Some delightful and wholly useful quotes found within her book:
"There's no such thing as an uncreative person. There's just someone who clings to a narrow definition of "creativity"."
~"The beauty of different: observations of a confident misfit" by Karen Walrond

"Beauty appears when something is completely and absolutely and openly itself"
~Deena Metzger

"Do the things you fear, and the death of fear is certain"
~as quoted in "The Beauty of different: Observations of a Confident Misfit" by Karen Walrond

"I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life-and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do"
~Georgia O'Keefe

"imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it is better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring"
~Marilyn Monroe

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience"
~Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

"Hey, Who Turned Out The Lights?"

My little brother is the coolest...

Clouds: pretty in pink

The sunset as of a few minutes ago, didn't last long, I'm afraid.
