sarah--as the sparrow

to give life you must take life,

and as our grief falls flat and hollow

upon the billion-blooded sea

i pass upon serious inward-breaking shoals rimmed

with white-legged, white-bellied rotting creatures

lengthily dead and rotting against surrounding scenes.

dear child, i only did to you what the sparrow

did to you; i am old when it is fashionable to be

young; i cry when it is fashionable to laugh.

i hated you when it would have taken less courage

to love.

-charles bukowski

creating listings for herbs:

lemon grass

hyssop

a variety of bath salts

anise seed

created 4 new herbal teas,

5 new bath salts, 3 new sugar scrubs,

2 new soaps,

remember. and reconnect.

i've been purging all of the negative forces from my life.

this is also why i am moving.

i need functional minds,

tucked and tattered places,

and remember what i love about people.

and to reconnect with film and photography.

it has been too long.

here is something pretty to share.

last ride

i went on a motorcycle ride yesterday evening

leaving from Boulder, through the canyon to Nederland,

up past Caribou, Gold Hill, and Raymond,

and down to Lyons and back to Boulder.

We also stopped so I could photograph

the cobblestone church.

I took all of these photos from

the back of a moving motorcycle.
