trouble and desire

day 153

i want it. i can not have it. i do not want it. it is so attractive. i am repulsed by it. it respects my authority. it mocks everything i stand for. i hate it. i need it.

overgrown overhaul overdue

"...we are stardust
we are golden
and we've got to get ourselves
back to the garden..."

-joni mitchell

...this is going to change everything.... my new meditation spot is the weeding field. i am obliterating the astor - as beautiful as it is in the fall with it's purple flowers - it has taken over and hidden parts of the garden i haven't seen in years. it. must. go.

a renewal - a rebirth - a renaissance

stay tuned!
