On Home 5/19
I write in the pictures I take
The memories of a home
A season lived well
Full
Coffee in hand
Black
New vinyl spinning
Black and sweet
The heart aches for a space unknown
A place to call home
Here or there
What answer abides
Fullness in life not synonymous with the constant I crave
Or do I
Would boredom not ensue were life a consistent brew
Life oh life if I go out and catch your wave won’t you bring me back
Back to a home only a distance away from before

Im so happy to see you’re back! Checked you page on a whim! What a great Thanksgiving present for myself to see your words and photos again! I hope that doesn’t sound creepy.. I like the way you look at the world, especially through your camera. Your images convey a deep appreciation for the good around you – which is something I wish I could train myself to see. Instead I get caught up in stress between work and night classes. Your images and words always seem so calm too.
As I mentioned before a few times, your interior images really inspire me. I’ve gotten into a more minimalistic head space, but seeing your images again makes me realize how soothing I find minimal spaces and how deeply affected/effected we can be by our spaces as humans. A simple space allows us to appreciate the beautiful things that occur without distraction. I especially feel very affected by my environment and the fact that it gets messy (clothes everywhere) is telling of where my mind has been lately (scattered). For that, Im spending Saturday picking up, donating etc.
Your picture reminds me I have books in my car I’ve meant to donate for months. I guess I’ve kept them in my car because I find books have such high emotional/personal value for me. But its time to let them go (more will flow in/find me).
The other morning I noticed the morning light streaming in through my Chemex making a spray of light lines on the counter and the steam of my coffee and I thought, life is hard and stressful, but beautiful.
so happy you’re back. (as reader also commented, hope it’s not creepy!) but your presence and grace has always had such a positive impact on me. grateful for you and all that you share. sending love.
Thank you for letting us back in….you inspire many women.
Prayers for you and your family
