loving the mysterious ways of the universe...
"to live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with an open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up, grow up through the common"

my new favorite acquisition, "Heart"
(thank you, Sato!)
(thank you, Sato!)
and my other new favorite acquisition, Adamite.
and (compliments of Hafiz),
All
The craziness,
All the empty plots,
All the ghosts and fears,
All the grudges and sorrows have

Passed.
I must have inhaled
A strange
Feather
That finally
Fell

i am on a carousel, around and around, up and down. it is infinite.
little colored lights softly glow, whimsical music keeps me spinning,
giggles pour out from my insides.
ps. have you smelled a bouquet of flowers from the sides, the top, and the bottom?
and: in the end, adorn yourself with luxurious functionality.
