for what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?

Rest in Peace Shelley Ann Lisbona 2/23/2010 My heart feels like it is bleeding right now, and I don’t really have any words. The pictures below are from the summer of 2006 when we went to Massachusetts together. I was one of the leaders on the team, and Shelley was one of my kids (but…

i love winter & snow & how color stands out against the white (and how the sunset reflects on the snow and turns everything orange, then pink, then blue) & the way my face and body feel warm under layers of clothes & how my soul seems to come alive with every deep breath of…

with the new day comes new strength and new thoughts. – eleanor roosevelt

I want to (learn to)… Play this beautiful song: Comptine D’un Autre ete : L’ap. Design and make my own clothes. Grow my own food. Plant an herb garden, or work here. Volunteer at Camp Sunshine (maybe as a photographer?) Knit so that I can make socks and hats and mittens for my friends. Live…

Build me a home inside your scars… the only place I ever will belong.

I turned 21 this past Tuesday! Yay! This is my first birthday away from home (how blessed am I that I got to spend the previous twenty with my family?) and it really didn’t feel like a birthday until a friend encouraged me to have a party. But first, my housemate Fletcher took me out…
