"Yet I am always with you. You hold me by my right hand, you guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And being with you, I desire nothing on earth. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion, forever." Psalm 73: 23-26
There is no such obligation.- Virginia, The Hours.

I like the mirror in my room. It has scars from pealed off stickers and things I've written on the glass which is cluttered with notes and pictures on the edges. I like the clusters of old flower pots gathering snow in the corners of my porch, reminding me that I've lived in this house for seven years. The way the fence in my backyard slants into the ravine dramatically but really just continues up the other side of the creek. Things I see every day and dont really see. I like that we have days to start over again, to try to take notice of the not so important things that make up us, and nights to see the deeper things we dont let ourselves think about. I like how behind shapes and words there are feelings and intentions, hopes and wills, and love. Will I always have a half smile in pictures? I'm eager to know what I'm hiding. I want to know what I'm holding back, and what I dont yet know.

i want to go to a symphony concert, in all the glitter and woosh of the city, and fall asleep in my red plush chair dreaming such lovely things because the music makes the whole world so big and romantic and woozy. there's nothing so nice as a concert like that.
i love you. you paint what i *see* but can't say sometimes.
that would be wooshy :)
