Hey! That's so cool you're a scuba diver... I don't exactly have that opportunity living in Missouri... Are you going to California or Florida?

A Strange Face Beside Me

As most of you know, this is the poem I read for our photo presentation. The girl is Nora.

A strange face beside me

Not like me at all

She wears a veil, looks ahead,

and I am so interested

That I stare.

I wonder how she lives, what her country is like,

What does that veil mean to her?

She turns,

and I look away,

embarrassed.

I look out the window

Into the blinding light

And squint at San Fransisco.

The bus’… Continue

Home (written shortly after the program)

Two weeks ago

We dropped our lives,

Packed our things,

And came here to this place,

Not knowing what to expect.

But we found ourselves

Quickly crumbly

And melding into the Earth,

Embraced by water,

But rubbed raw by the salty sea.

Our pieces lay scattered

Creating a beautiful pattern

Of texture and light

Each piece different,

All rocks.

Out patterns bled

And we stained each… Continue

What kind-of camera are you getting (or did you just get)? I'm more a camera person than a painter, but whatever floats your boat, right? I'm not just a camera person though... I like to write and write music (as you well know). I'm working on a song right now for OFL and I'll post it when I'm done. I just need to finish it... I'm kind-of stuck for now, but I think I'll get out of my "stuckness" soon! I'm like you, in the sense that you paint to let out your emotions. I play and sing. If I had a bad day at school, my parents will know, because right when I get home I go straight for the piano. I don't always tell them what's wrong, but they still know. Is that kind-of like you and painting? Just to let go...
I would hope that it's not bullying. I might've gone and done something stupid if you had said it was bullying! :)
So... What's up right now? How's the weather?
Miss you loads. Love ya! :)
