Really cool. Check this out. I found him on Flickr b/c one of the photos had some cool clouds in the background. I clicked on it and voila...found a cool guy with a cool job. He's hand delivering postcards to people around the world. It's really neat and you can get involved too. Go to the link and scroll down to his book intro and it will explain things more. FUN!

in love with these words

"When it's over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was a bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it's over, I don't want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened
or full of argument.

I don't want to end up simply having visited this world."

-- Mary Oliver

Got this from an email from my FAVORITE artist/poet/woman, Sabrina Ward-Harrison. Go to her site here.

I heart fall.

I watched Garden State tonight. Just got it in the mail today. Why have I not bought it before now? I don't really know. It's just such a real movie, I know that's an oxymoron...Anyway, it was set in the fall and it's kinda finally fall here in Nashvegas and it's such an amazing time of year. It always seems to coincide with me going through a changing period for some reason. It's something about the heat fading away and the coolness moving in. I don't know and as much as it sometimes sucks because it's rainy and bleary, it's still so cool because the colors against the grey sky are so warm and reassuring. It's beautiful. Please stick around a long time this year, fall. Please.
