they're gonna wrap you up in cornsilk.
they're gonna cry like you were spilled milk.

I was going to die, if not sooner then later, whether or not I had ever spoken myself. My silences had not protected me. Your silence will not protect you.

Audre Lorde

Wherever you are is the entry point.

The deepest secret in our heart of hearts is that we are writing because we love the world.

Natalie Goldberg

You must do the thing you think you can not do.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Have the courage to write whatever your dream is for yourself.

We can not escape fear. We can only transform it into a companion that accompanies us on all our exciting adventures ... Take a risk a day – one small or bold stroke that will make you feel great once you have done it.

Susan Jeffers

Trust in yourself. Your perceptions are often far more accurate than you are willing to believe.

Claudia Black

Trust that still, small voice that says, “This might work and I’ll try it.”

Diane Mariechild

You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm.

Colette

... live everything. Live the questions now.

Rainer Maria Rilke

inspiration 101. thanks maiana! we are currently holding a poetry workshop at sixdeuce and it is going wonderfully. the other night i cooked for gerald and yumanti and my other roommates. we drank wine on the porch and talked about music, just a good sign of the things to come.

i am dating my high school sweetheart and it's really funny the way things work out. i am hopeful and cautious. it's amazing to meet up again with someone after years and have just become such better people but still have some kinda spark there. we've known each other since we were 12 so it's pretty crazy. i've learned a lot about how to treat people since then...it's good, really just...nice. no crazy psychotic heartwrenching passionate melodrama, just like...positive and healthy and good.

blessings to all, it's been a while...

bout to give this girl a shout

>>back in the day>>
>>i'm not a kid anymore>>
>>but somedays i sit & wish i was a kid again>>
