Thinking perpetuates thinking
What’s past, what’s ahead, what’s now?
Questions unanswerable, but knowable.
Floating in time
0Floating in time
I was rescued by the past
The present doesn’t exist
And the future is too far ahead
An Ode to Love
0Dabbling in a bit of poetry…here’s the first of a few to come.
Start. Stop.
Always fading.
Consistency hides in the background,
peaking out when it desires.
You. Me.
One, two. The same? Separate?
Similar, and each our own.
But together once in a while
Loving, hating
Never liking
Talking in whispers
Scared of what might come out
Always hoping
Never satisfied
With the constant almost
That defines our ways
Regret, fulfillment
Too scared to accept either
So both lurk above
Our very distant bodies
Forward or backward
Which way do we go
When uncertainty leads the way
Time will tell our fate that lies ahead
“I Follow Rivers”
0A nice little video encapsulating Blue Is The Warmest Color, such a beautifully emotional film, along with the best song in the film, Lykke Li’s “I Follow Rivers.”
Past, Present
0In some ways, the past is always with us; distant memories you thought you had forgotten pop up every now and then, reminding you that you cannot simply forget the past, and that the past does, whether you like it or not, shape who you are. Sometimes we find ourselves revisiting previous experiences for no apparent reason and perhaps unwillingly. But somehow, these thoughts springboard to the forefront of our minds and remind us that we were not always as we are now; there was a time when we were a very different person having very different experiences. Are we happy with the way that we are now and the way things are now? Or does some part of us wish to go back and be that other person and relive and continue those previous realities?
Paris, the center of the world

“Foreigners belong in France because they have always been here and did what they had to do there and remained foreigners there. Of course they all came to France, a great many to paint pictures. So it begins to be reasonable that the 20th century needed the background of Paris, the place where tradition was so firm that they could let anyone have the emotion of unreality. Paris was where the 20th century was.” – Gertrude Stein
Keira Knightley has an amazing singing voice?
0I just saw Begin Again featuring Keira Knightley, Adam Levine, and Mark Ruffalo and it was such a lovely surprise. I had no idea that Keira Knightley has an incredible singing voice, but it is so soft and sweet (and yes, it’s actually her voice). A very nice surprise indeed! I think it’s absolutely a must-see if you like music at all and its ability to bring people together. It has some great songs in it and I know I’ll be buying the soundtrack.
Vintage cinema
1I came across this cute little vintage cinema in Elkhart, IN and I’m not sure if it is still in operation, but it adds charm to this Midwestern town.
