Love this love.

Being present is hindered by memories.
I want to let them go, but if they stay at least I'll have a part of something.

I find it easy to have an optimistic future, and believe that things will come around.

But memories bring the anger.

Direct experience. Being here. Feeling now.

So challenging.

Anger comes so easily to me.

An Aversion.

A fear.

I don't want to write. It is the advice given to me, but I don't want to.

Maybe, it's just too out of my body. Moving and feeling. That's where I am.



Yet, I've never been at more peace with who I am. I see so much power, maturity, and love within myself.
The irony! Oh my passion.

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions”

Life isn't about being afraid.

Fear is there, but I have a courage that I haven't had before.

Classes' Over.

I'm going to keep this going, or at least say I will (the future is unpredictable).

I have been working on creativity a bunch lately.
I'll put some up.

Creative Act #9: Dear Alex

This act was a mix tape.

It was my friend's birthday, and I owed him a cd of my most important tuneskies, SOOO - TADAH!

Here is the list of my dearest sounds:

1. California - Sarah Slean

I fell in love with her a couple of years ago. She has influenced my life so much.

2. Jøga - Bjørk

Conrad has probably played you this song. We wrung to it.
It makes me really emotional in a good way.

3. Mykonos - Fleet Foxes

It's about an island in Greece!

4. Collect Call - Metric

Metric is one of my big ones. The "If somebody's got soul," part makes me orgasm every time. I want more.

5. Inside a Boy - My Brightest Diamond

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

6. Wine Red - The Hush Sound

The Hush Sound is tres good.

7. Flawed Design - Stabilo

I used to know all the words to this song off by heart.

8. Dobbin's Flowery Vale - Rajaton

Goddamn, this song is beautiful. I saw them sing this live in the middle of the summer. It was one of those lasting experiences.

9. Shankill Butchers - Sarah Jarosz

A cover of a Decemberists' song. She gives the creepy song, such a haunting beauty.

10. The Wanting Comes in Waves / Repaid - The Decemberists

That's right! A cover of a band, followed by the actual band! Crazy turn of events. I love how so many of the Decemberists albums are narratives. This is from their lastest. Its a love story. Not this song, its more of a desire, and then retribution song.

11. Corner of Your Heart - Ingrid Michaelson

Check our her stuff.

12. Now's the Only Time I Know - Fever Ray

She has informed all of my work this semester. Her imagery and music are so powerful.

13. Pass This On - The Knife

Okay, so this is original band of Fever Ray. What a good song.

14. Flavor - Tori Amos

The physical movement of this song is something to listen for.

15. Listen (Listen, Listen) - Wintersleep

My turn to give you some Wintersleep. This is from their second(?) album. It's my favourite album of theirs. Wintersleep is definitely the band I put on when I ever I need to be creatively productive, like paint, or write.

16. Blinding - Florence + the Machine

Please. Please, listen to her. She's important to me.

17. Looking for Someone - Sarah Slean

I had to include another, and please, ask me to tell you the story behind this one.
