faults laid bare


i suppose, in laying my faults bare before the world, i seek to overcome them, more fully accept them, find others with similar afflictions, seek those willing to ignore them...make them insignificant.

i'm still adjusting to a new place, a new slew of people to reveal myself to. i often feel that i'm not in london, i'm in a cloud of faces and voices and histories from the far reaches of this earth. i own nothing, i own no place here yet, i am an observer looking for my trajectory, looking for my haven.

second city, third city, fourth city and beyond...sometimes i can feel that trajectory, that comfort and that embrace right around the corner, but when i turn, it's gone. other times... i know i may never find it.

in the grand scheme of things and time and love and life, i have only been here a short while, so i will continue to turn over every stone, reveal myself in the hopes that the right people are listening, and try to become a part of the city i currently call home.

down the wormhole again


i got reacquainted with some of my old favorite reading materials today: synthesis, movement, hidden gems and cultural conclusions....it made me feel like throwing myself right back down the wormhole again. i've been talking talking talking about publishing my work, gathering work from friends, and making something that moves people. and while i am inundated with professional and academic obligations my insides are saying : do it now! i am surrounded by people with limitless talents, unique perspectives and room to grow...things must be said and we must be heard. now is the time....(but oh, where will she find the time?)
