books, friends, imbibing, fibonacci sequence, bharathanatyam, typewriters, taking pictures with my eyes, climbing rocks, general monkey business, suitcases that hold the secrets of people's lives, tender tendrils of love stretching across continents, words and silence, paradox, dancing with my eyes closed, melancholy, the electricity of experience, ellipses...
hugs and photographs and games of pretend. lovemaking and laughter and tears shed like rivers. scraps of fabric and shiny objects and a whisper in an outstretched palm. eyeglasses and empty shopping carts and paint-by-numbers. page-long proofs and empty picture frames and 'you'. jesus candles and old men with dancing eyes and the creatures of make-believe. photo booths and swing sets and declarations of love. surprises and notebooks and joy unbridled. flowers and bubblegum and dedication. the word 'traviesa' and foreign lands and the romance of language. appreciation and chlorophyll and burps like barks. nesting and mountaintops and one day being a mama. musical footsteps and bicycle bells and bridges to freedom. altruism and typewriters and poets who can move the whole world with their minds. oh, and dogs.
Music
lots and lots of new music. sigh... it's lovely.
Movies
baraka, everything is illuminated, wings of desire, faraway so close, amelie, la vita e bella, princess bride, 3.14159265..., city of lost children, funny face, harold and maude, almost anything bertolucci, one flew over the cukoo's nest, princess mononoke, tuvalu, my blueberry nights (most anything by wong kar wai, for that matter)... and anything movingly beautiful with lots of saturated colors and scenes & concepts foreign to me
Television
my last tv broke in 2001.
Books
'hungry for knowledge, books became the celestial manna in the desert of my ignorance.'
-josee andrei
Heroes
anybody with a passionate lust for life and a heart brave enough to look always deeper into the heart of the world and eyes wide enough to see upside down halfway through a cartwheel.
About me: 'more and more she thought of revolution not as mustered force that might topple the system, but as a delicate process of changing individual minds, or as the rare chance to try.' -susan choi, american woman

I hope this message reaches you in time. Tomorrow at the Alberta St. Pub there is a band called Molehill Orchestra. They are so very very good. I urge you to go and see them and bring your friends. They just played last night at Amnesia, and it was delightful. I think you'll love it. Bestest. xo
Dear Miss James, Dry your tears my love, for it is just man trying to keep us (nature) apart. Time change makes it difficult to communicate. But man verses nature is an ancient discourse and I am willing to brave it in order to hear your voice. I will try you later this afternoon at an earth time of approximately 1pm.
Are you still on this planet earth bird or has your vessel flown away? Drop me a line to let me know you are still here completing your mission. We are all starting to worry a bit.
