everything I love

west with the night

I have learned that if you must leave
a place that you have lived in and loved
and where all your yesterdays
are buried deep...

leave it any way except a slow way
leave it the fastest way you can



never turn back.
and never believe that an hour
you remember is a better hour
because its dead.

passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones,
while the future lives in a cloud,
formidable from a distance.

the clouds clear as you enter it

"west with the night"


if only i could be so brave.
but I can't leave new york just yet.


good bye to all that

if only it was tulip season everywhere

thinking of my dear friends

in santa barbara, CA
who have been
evacuated


the arts & crafts bungalows
tucked into the canyons
are such a special
aspect of this
coastal city


it just kills me
to see it all on fire

when things get too comfortable

...i look for adventure.


today I bought 3 used books:


Einstein's dreams
diary by chuck palahniuk
a room of her own by v. woolf


which one should
I read first?

countdown.

just a few more days in nyc

i'm heading to SF for
a couple months

towards a new architecture

marcel van eeden
has a futurist pen



my guilty pleasure:
architectural manifestos
i wish they were still
writing them.


manifestos are narcissistic.
often a prelude to physical consequences
the future will most likely regret.


but i read them for
that suspended moment.
that frozen connection with
the author, the words, and
the weightlessness of
what is written.


ah!
that feeling before
an idea is acted upon.
when everything feels
completely right
