Inspiration.
art communityToday I am overwhelmed with thankfulness for all the wonderful people who are in my life-- Family and Friend. Those that surround me, that love me, hold me, and inspire me every day. Those that are teaching me how to live and learning with me how to live. I don't even know what I would do without those people. So in my gratitude I wish to mention here some of them, that just happen to be on the internet.
Here lately the idea of revolution and truth has been resonating in my little word and I have been greatly enjoying bouncing those ideas around with my friends. Maurine has been commenting on things I've come across and has been, in return, sharing with me some wonderful bits of wisdom. Today it was some revolutionary words by Allen Ginsburg. The poem America, as well as, Allen Ginsberg and his psychiatrist.
The other day I read a line in the book Cunt. It was, "The revolution is not being televised." I sent it out in a text message and also used it as a blog post. At the time I was unfamiliar with its origin, I just knew that it fit in my heart and I need others to know of it too. Thank goodness Tina K. and Maurine were familiar with it. They directed me to Gil Scott-Heron's "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised."
Thank God we are not afraid of thinking!
Tina K. also sent me this awesome Guerrilla Gardening site today which I can't wait to plant into my mind.
Of course there is my beautiful husband as well. I am so blessed to be living with my one of my best friends (and my lover!), who has no other option but to listen to me ramble on about my thoughts of life, love and the pursuit in happiness. I thank God that our heart is so similar and our thought plane levels one with the other. I feel like a flower in the healthiest soil, living with Josh. It is so incredible learning through him and with him. Thank you baby for listening to all my ideas, dreams, thoughts, theories, no matter how crazy or how high!
There are so many more bits of inspiration that have come into my life here lately. I will make a point to introduce them on here in the coming week. I can't hardly wait. As for now, its is getting late. The work world comes all to early in the morning, especially for my baby. We are going to retire and watch some Dylan before heading off to bed.
Be well!

Hey, Maggie Ann! To answer your questions:
That's actually my sister's tattoo. It's hebrew and says 'Glorify God'.
And I wish I knew the artist of that piece, but I don't. I found it by typing in 'tired' in the google image search engine.
p.s. muah.
you should ask tina for the reading assignments she picked for her composition class, because they are pretty kick ass.
