these texts are an archive of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area from march 2007 - march 2015. it stands as a record of close to a decade of my life, charting the struggles i faced as an artist, daughter, and lover. messy and chaotic at times, eloquent and poetic at others, these texts are an index i am proud of. it was here in this electric box that i learned how to be honest about my experiences and the person i needed to become. it was here that i first learned the truism that words make the world and how to trust such a beautiful, rife, hard fact.

thank you for meeting me here in such tall grass.

morning song

years and years and years ago, i got this cd for christmas and i listened to this song over and over and over again that morning, happy dancing like a flailing child, spinning and whirling. there is a deep hope in this song. simultaneous undercurrents of massive sadness and happiness. empathy is fully present. and maybe a bit of anger too.

not my favorite video but the words in this song are just beautiful. simple, direct, eloquent emotion. there is a universal sentiment and need in this piece.

favorite line: could everyone agree that no one should be left alone?

this song makes me think of my brother.

When I worked as a hair stylist we had a certain radio station on all the time, it was satellite radio so it was the same music play list for the most part and quite a few of songs I would just tune out, but this was one song that I always tune into, that is a beautiful lyric.

Your practice piece down there is just stunning.
