I am a forest, and a night of dark trees: but he who is not afraid of my darkness, will find my banks full of roses under my cypresses. | Nietzsche

in quotes
on how to be happy
dear husband-to-be,
i think, what i'm going to have to ask from you,
what i'll need...
is for you to be even more courageous than you think you have any right to be.
and me too. i'll be that too.
MY NEW YORK + ROUND THESE PARTS
there's not too much to report on this end. life has been... a little unclear and a little uneasy and quite a bit of leaning into the unknown.
but okay.
life has been okay--both because of and despite all those many murky things.
though i must admit i do believe the winter blues stole upon me these last few weeks and i can feel my body craving spring, calling out for the green that heralds the season. i love my neighborhood always, but never quite so much as when it is flush with green and the birds sing that morning song.
... *and some housekeeping*
"There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness and this is neither. This season is about becoming."

(found this photo from about a month ago in a dropbox folder that my brother and his friends keep to share and keep track of their adventures {and indiscretions}. i love it. it's imperfect and it tells a sliver of a very clear story. my favorite photos are always the ones in which it's not about pretty and perfect, but happy--totally, unconditionally happy as caught on film).
if things are a bit more quiet than usual around these parts (and if i'm taking even longer than my usual forever to respond to emails) it's because i'm trying to move this blog to a new platform and with no formal training and a real job that takes up real time, trying to do that takes all of my free time. but hopefully in the next week i'll have a glittery new site (or at least the start of one).
hope all is well and the week is off to a good start (no saint patty's day hangovers!!).
