We wrote this song last week on the Olympic Peninsula, and recorded it live at home with Chicken Mike.
@lucyclearwater we’d love to open for you in Port Townsend 💛
Truth is the thing that remains at the end of the road
Moving my body
Being someone and no one
So lucky to get to hold so many folks so close at heart
So lucky to get to stretch and grow
So tired, sometimes.
So much love, I feel so much love.
Life is full and beautiful and continues to show me the way towards feeling fulfilled and connected to something that is me and that is also so much bigger than me.
Tending myself is like any garden.
Each of us this truly unique collection of moving parts.
I share now for the part of myself that has always been looking for something meaningful to offer. The most meaningful is the way that I feel about the life that I continue to nurture for myself and with my community. No one is alive by accident, what we do with that is a reflection of what we do with anything. I hope to continue to make art and sing songs and love on my friends and family for a long time. Grateful to be here.
Garrett is my sweetheart of every season
After years together he continues to introduce me to new hobbies and positions and ways to brush it all off.
Our life together is full of laughter and making shit happen and cheering each other on with trust and grace and speaking a secret language. He ties counterweights to all my floating bits with his deep roots and peaceful way of being. Garrett is one of the most unbothered people I have ever met.. he’s not squirming against life, he is floating down the river with a bubbly water in hand, pursuing the sunny spot and kicking his feet up. And then he’s hands in the earth sculpting life with ambition and handsomeness. No one makes life move like Garrett. He’s motivated with all the force of the wind and then he ties it in a bow, blows it a kiss and kicks back. I never stop learning from this guy. These years have been some of the most meaningful in my life, and I’m so ridiculously grateful to get to share them with my love. We create home wherever we go. Yall don’t even know.
Anyways it’s his birthday and he’s done it again and everyone who’s lucky enough to spend time around Garrett gets to experience the deep sigh of being accepted just as you are and if you stick around he’ll transform some of your methods, too.. with kindness and compassion.. he’s just got a good way of doing things and it’ll rub off on ya. Lover you are the best of the best. Your life is a shimmering beacon and I feel like the luckiest lady to get to shine beside you. Thank you for all the ways you encourage me, thank you for leading the way and for your thoughtful pauses and for forgiving me when I fumble. You’ve shown me what love is, and I love the heckems you. Instagrams stupid. You’re my best friend in the whole world. Looking forward to a lifetime of birthdays and petting animals and eating spicy food and pissing all over this earth because she’s ours to explore. Cheese fest. Also there’s a present hidden for you in the garage- above sea level. Happy birthday, I love you.
Digital scrapbook.
Photos of moments that have felt charged with my favorite parts of being alive. August was a beautiful time. Life is full of color and animals and nature and dancing and good conversations and free falling tears and mystery that feels like direction. I’m feeling connected to my north node in Leo lately, really it’s a joy. I like laying on the ground- with my eyes closed next to someone I love with quiet conversation exchanged over the white noise of Mother Earth. A lot of my favorite moments never make it on film, and that’s precious obviously. I’m just so impressed with all the new dreams, man. I never knew I’d fall into all the things I’ve fallen into.. but here I am, with big revs and getting upside down and chasing a huge owl off from tryna scoop my tiny cat. Life is full of sensation. I feel ready to break old habits and step into a much more flexible version of myself. My friends and I feel in step, and that makes it feel like a revolution. Anyways, thanks for reading. Thanks for witnessing me over the years or just now or whenever. Life feels full of possibilities and per usual I have no idea what’s up ahead, a few ideas but we’ll see. Regardless, I hope to be there, doing my best.
