you choke on the infinite vastness

her eyes let you make
any shape your heart desires
however, because the possibilities
are endless
you choke on the infinite vastness.
but then...

self portrait & a link


the strangest thing i ever saw in my life
was my life
is my life
it's all there, and yet it's going away
and coming
how is that possible?

when i was a small person,
beginning around the age of 7
i began to collect "junk"
i had a place in the attic where the light would shine
through one of the attic windows
I would crawl up there to contemplate and arrange my "junk" items
which were not junk to me but sacred objects
I would pay close attention to each little detail
thinking about where this item had come from
how it had come to be the way it was,
the way I liked it

I knew deep down that these objects were special
and that everyone else thought they were junk.
I was not attached to these items
but it gave me great pleasure to be with them.
