Best Friends...

Are more precious then Diamonds.

And losing them, makes you sick.

Music and Art

They tie together, so simply complex.


Risa sent me this song today. It made me want to dance and sing. Music has so much power over our souls. The chello makes me melt. And the amazing piano in this song locks my gaze.



Yesterday in my ceramics class I learned the very old Japanese firing technique of Raku. "Raku" means "happiness by chance." This so so true. It was just by chance I was in this ceramics class which taught Raku. I *love* it. You heat the pot in a garbage can like kiln, until it is glowing hot. Then you take the piece out and move it to a different garbage can with newspaper in it. The heat from the pot lights the paper on fire. The thermic shock between cans causes cracks that become black with the smoke. It is beautiful. The whole thing from the beginning, then burning garbage cans, and finally a beautiful vase, or pot. Here are a few pictures of Raku.

Heat

I freaking love the heat. It's amazing. Today I slipped from the ciaos of life and onto the trampoline. Bouncing in the heat waves, laughing in the shade, swimming in the smell of grass, sweat, and fabric. Summer is wonderful. Today it was in the 90s and delicious.

Grass and Love

.. Go hand in hand.

My dance

Cleaning, dancing
Spinning, washing

In the Kitchen

Laughing, folding
Working, twerling

Knee Socks

Jumble

My soul yearns.
It wants, it pleads
Like the tide of the ocean
My soul pulls.



Wind.
Blowing softly, lightly playing
Like sheets dancing in space
The wind blows.


Warm.
Joy in a scientific form
Like the smile of a child
It warms me.

Luscious Lips

In the last few day I have been on the quest for luscious lips. And I am proud to say, I have them now. Before my lips were always a bit dry, but still full and beautiful. Now, I have been taking care of my good lips and they are always sweetly soft and moist. How did I get lips this way you might ask? Easy. Carry a tube of lip gloss or lip balm with you where ever you go. And when ever you lips dry out a bit, put some on. This will keep them moist.After a few days your lip will stay soft. Just add more lip balm/gloss and you will bet set for spring! I have been using Wetslicks by Cover Girl. It worked wonderfully for me.
