This week was a doozy here in Massachusetts (yep, I think The Onion put it best). Even though I live almost 2 hours from Boston, my town just felt fearful and dark all over.
The picture above is a few of my friends viewing an installation by Charles Stankievech on our trip to the MASS MoCa. It's a video of purple smoke clouds in the arctic titled Loveland. I decided to share an excerpt from it today - instead of the usual weekend song - since I think we could all use a little time in a place like that.
weekend reading | person to person
- "All I have to do is to decide how much fear to let inside my heart in this fragile, created place" -Under the Magnolias by Carolyn Miller
- if I had to show someone what being a human is like on earth, I'd use these photos accidentally captured by google street view. (via Sho and Tell)
- it cracks me up the way grandmothers write letters and e-mails in such an explanatory way!
- related: when parents text. The ones from dads are my favorite.
Sam- I love all the art posts I am getting to see from you lately. I miss you. The photos accidentally captured by google are my favorite. There is so much to be said about them. A piece in themselves. I hope we can talk and catch up soon.
ReplyDeleteCassy, I'll be back in Portland in the beginning of June! The city better get ready because between the two of us there wont be a single moment of silence for three months - just nonstop talking, giggling and occasional camera-ing.
Deletereading that poem today in my yoga class. thanks :)
ReplyDeleteHearing that makes me so happy!! One of my yoga teachers used to read Mary Oliver or Hafiz during a yin class and it was so incredible the way it went straight to my heart. Maybe being physically present makes me more mentally/heart-fully present.
