"Gypsies, tramps and thieves". We'd hear it from the people of the town. They'd call us gypsies, tramps and thieves. But every night all the men would come around; and lay their money down. -- Cherilyn Sarkasian LaPier

Madame Vogue.

New member to the family.
This is Vogue, Madame Vogue.
She's a Munchkin, that's actually a breed of cat.
Sausage cat, or something.
Cute.

The Crowd Has Nothing to Envy.

The only place you'll find the perfect person, the perfect family or a perfect life is in television commercials for butter.


Audrey.

Would love to buy some of these.
I remember Audrey Kawasaki from when I was in high school.
Awesome artist. Thats all I can say, really.

The Weeping & The Laughing

Let’s pray and sing and dance for a while. Let me sing a song about you while we dine. Let’s remember to forget and forget to remember. Let’s touch the sky and kiss the ground and weep while we laugh because you mean so much while the world can mean so little.
Let’s do these things, you and I, for time is short and short is the time.
And tomorrow, we can do it again.
If you’d like?

I Will Try.

Learn four new things everyday.
Something about yourself.
Something about the people you love.
Something about the world.
And something about a stranger.

The Greeting.

The Hi-hello-how-are-you?'s. The I'm-fine-and-you?'s. The slight nod of the head. The threads that bind you to everyone else. It's coded language for a constant reassurance.

"I'm alive. You're alive too."

The Day You Stop.

Tumblr_lkj02vaduh1qdzrhoo1_500_large

One day, you will die.

You will stop and the world will carry on. Lovers will love. Others will shop, laugh and cry. Sometimes alone. Sometimes together. The radio will keep playing.

But you will be gone.

Only the love you gave, the souls you touched and the people you changed, will remain.

They will carry on for you. They will pick up where you left off.

There is nothing to be sad about here.

The Doing.

che bella รจ la vita


Some days it seems like it'll never end. Like there's just too much to do.

The reality of the situation is, you'll never be finished. If you finish all the work you've got to do, you'll find more to do. You can never really reach the end.

So accept that. Be ok with it. Find the peace you're looking for in the now. In this moment.

Right now. Every now.

The Series.

Tumblrljv22itqva1qfdwsi_large

There are moments of such
pure,
sublime,
unparalleled perfection,
that they will force you to close your eyes,
and hold on to them as best you can.

Life is a series of these moments.
Everything else is just waiting for them.

The Red Sky at Night.

High_like_planes_by_n_rg-d31jmtl_large
Today, no planes flew into any buildings.

Today, there was no fire falling from the sky.

Today, there were no riots in the streets.

Today, the news was mostly just about famous people.


Today, no shaky footage was recorded of children running from a burning village.

Today, not one person stood in front of a tank.

Today, no one put flowers in the rifle barrels of guns.

Today, you will check your mail.


Today, no shots rang out over a black cavalcade.

Today, there was no negotiated revolution.

Today, no flags were burned.

Today, sport will be played and people will be upset over the outcome.


Tomorrow however, is a new day.

The One and Nothing.

Tumblr_liqjhutuqe1qhldafo1_400_large


One.

Two words.

Then three words.

The fourth is "love".

The fifth word is "you".

Six say: "I love you", twice.

I can't begin to comprehend seven words.

Eight is far, you and I are closer.

In nine words time, we'll be reaching the conclusion.

And ten - which is just one, nothing and the end.

At the end of the tunnel.

If you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, make sure it's not the flames from the bridges you've burnt.

The difference between the two.


Love the people who give you what you need.
Be careful of the people who give you what you want.

Luggage

Tumblr_lehc8oblma1qzw9dzo1_500_large_large

If you buy a bigger bag, you will find more to carry.

Sometimes a smaller bag is better.

Wake up call.

Just so you realise....
While you have been living in the past,
the present has happened.
Hate to break it to ya.


How far is Heaven.
