hey friends
so im thinking about us
and about last night
MOSTLY ABOUT HOW WE ARE REALLY TALKING ABOUT US WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ART.
WE ARE ACTUALLY JUST TALKING ABOUT OURSELVES AND EACH OTHER, when we consider light patterns textures colors stripes diagonal situations, angles, and how each, both in metaphor and tangible form, relate so precariously so wonderfully to our individual perceptions of depth mood contrast
there was a favorite conversation last night
wherein a question was considered:
are stripes who are actively being plaid
still stripes or are they now just lines?
this began as easy silliness, but it became passionately obvious there were 100 different ways of seeing all parts of art, and art itself, (is art ever alone tho?) plus tons about where why and how to see art
STILL what stood out to me was that our ready to launch laughter revealed itself as the real shape shifter among us.
laughter was the honey the glue the salve
it was the shared involuntary release that we all seemed to need, to want, and to already know how to speak
AND who was behaving
as a multilingual and completely solid charming peer, to our compassion, our radicalism, our ingenuity, and it definitely wanted us to get each others numbers
IT ALSO BECAME OBVIOUS
THAT WE WERE NOT NECESSARILY
TALKING ABOUT ART, BUT RATHER,
HOW WE WANTED TO LIVE
HOW WE WANTED TO LOVE
HOW WE FELT BEING HUMAN BEINGS
AND THAT SO MANY THINGS
WERE SO OBVIOUSLY TRUE ALL AT ONCE
WHEN WE WERE ALL TOGETHER
THAT COMMUNITY IS THE GOLDEN TICKET
for all that is to come in the next few years
but also for everything sacred or important
within our personal forevers
so anyways lets think on this like true
and innovative warriors this week, wanna?
lets consider the golden powerful force of our connection to one another. and lets JOYFULLY TRULY PRIORITIZE however we chose to find one another...
but for now, definitely check on your tender darlings. be cool to yourself. cut a good person some slack.
and for gods sake hold the door open and smile
for all the lines out there who fucking know they are stripes.

HEY DARLINGS ok so my re entry into life starting to get busier after this past sucker punch winter has some growing pains 👀 like i know what those are 🙄 but everything felt fucking good yesterday. heres an update 💋✨
1. my summer pants and i got into quite an unprovoked tussle in the living room today. all i said was ooo hey do yall wanna hold still i got this
2. anyways i yelled we got time they scampered out the door middle fingers UP and i totally wouldve chased them if i had been wearing pants and wasnt softly crying. and a little out of breath. but whatever. they got away
3. BUT ITS OK!! oh man i had so much fun in the studio yesterday i started many new fun things and my unresolved's were basically winking their answers at me all day
4. it was peak mind body connection + like all lights turning green u know that feeling + i was so active painting that my braids somehow got bed head which is oddly impressive
5. if i had a dollar for every time i played this song i could get about 38 people a very tiny yet still cute coffee. sadly nobody could get a muffin.
but lets still call this a win ok im freezing
😐🍑👖✨🕺🏼🪩😍
yesterday was GLORIOUS, first walk in the woods since forever + it was bout 15 degrees warmer + i got to see a couple of my favorite tender wolves (🐺 round town tonight🎶) i mean cmon 🥹🎁 thanks cody caroline ira neko and on top of all of that i swear ive NEVER heard the birds so loud in beech forest. it was a party. 🐦 🎧 😭 i tell you it was a veritable cacophony.. 👀 (hmm now why does that sound wrong like im in some language class and ive just mistakenly put someones uncle in a green saxophone hat? ) veritable cacophony is a thing right 🧐🎷🎩💚 k bye love you + go run with tender wolves everywhere if its in yr nature. it only helps everything xoxox.
#provincetown

that snow yesterday was a ticket to trigger city 🎟️😭
BUT guess what THESE LITTLE DARLINGS are coming!!!
