iPhone notes app–how cliché!

 Excerpts from notes I've typed through time:


* In a way, a lot of true love connections are reliant on energy, on vibrating at the same wavelength. All in all though, I believe the concept of true love transcends all limitations, and prejudices, and is just a manifestation of humans at their purest form. Innocent, primal, instinctual. This varies from one person to another but I think it’s about finding the person who’s a balance between comfort/safety, and taking leaps of faith, venturing into the unknown. 

* Peonies

Red cabbage hard good

Tamari crackers 

Organic light whipped cheese

Shortbread cookies 

* Part of life’s allure is its ever changing nature, but it’s inevitable to get caught up in the anxiety and fear that said changes inherently provoke; so, as a closing remark or perhaps even a toast to the days spent under the California skies, and the nights slept under the light pollution covered stars— I thank you.

* In the 5th century BCE Greek philosophers looked to the natural world to inform their examinations of ethics, human character, belief and behavior. By producing a superior physical being, Myron sought to reflect the moral standards at the time. 

* It wasn’t dissimilar to a tango, we were creating the choreography as we went; it was akin to playing Jazz, his moans the melodic notes and the pounding of my heart the beat of the song; it was like playing God, each moment our eyes reconciled, the fire created more energy within our centers, my mouth giving him the sip of life to quench his thirsty soul.


 

 


Cassandra B.V.: On My Influences.

Musicians, poets, graphic designers: one way or another, we all utilize words. We all worship language, both spoken and unspoken. It is women like PJ Harvey that ignite the spark in my eccentric self, unable to conform to the world’s ideals, simply because not being true to herself isn’t feasible. Peter Blake shifted my distaste for pop art into great esteem, his ‘all in’ approach spoke to me, even before knowing he was 1/2 the mastermind behind Sgt. Peppers album cover. Language doesn’t stop at type though, Stephane Sednaoui’s storytelling is exquisite, capturing so many words unspoken through the motion and emotion of people’s humanity with his camera. The literal poetic tongue, curious and inquisitive mind that W.S. Merwin possessed, fusing abstractions of existentialist thoughts into seemingly mundane nature scenes, is nonpareil. Cherry on top, Jeff Buckley, has had the biggest impact on who I am, and who I aspire to be: an enigmatic and magnetic creator of transcendental and soulful art.
