-mosquitoes
-cold coffee
-wet wool touching me
-trying to undo an old roll of tape that tears into tiny strips

a beautiful, beautiful film
in every way
it will bring you
great music
great joy
great love
great passion
and
will break your heart.
early in the film
felicia, later to be leonard bernstein’s wife
asks him –
“you don’t even know how much you need me, do you?”
and he answers –
“i might.”
through all they endured
together and apart
around the globe and back
they found
the greatest love of their lives
in each other.
brava.

DO NOT DISTURB. / TINY GRASS IS DREAMING.
while the image of blades of grass sleeping soundly is undeniably adorable,
the chinese public lawn sign posted near the grass was actually meant to read,
accurate translation:
GRASS IS RESTING. DO NOT DISTURB.
i personally prefer the first.

the kinder painted
using play feathers and real fingers
and colors they mixed and made
one
chose to paint
only white on white paper
to see what it would look like
it was a beautiful painting
all nuance and shade and texture.
“renoir said once that nothing was so difficult, and at the same time so exciting, to paint, as white on white.”

‘We proudly support the local fairy community with cinema and live performances!
Our fairy door is located at the front entrance of our theater.’
(from the beautiful michigan theater)
the fairies have officially moved into the theater at last
(though most likely there long before anyone noticed them)
“trust the pixie dust.”

spending the recent past writing report cards
for the kinder
always a fascinating trip down memory lane
seeing how far they’ve come already
an unlimited distance still to go
the good, the bad, and the unexplained
all the good hearts, dramas, tears, and laughs
each their very own person
learning as we go.
all of us.

*more of frank the puppy’s report card:
“We sent him there because he is truly the most energetic puppy I have ever met,” his mom told Newsweek. “Our older dog needed a break,” she joked.
When Frank came home with the report card, she was in stitches. “I thought it was hysterical when I saw it because I can only imagine that Frank is probably the class clown that’ll do anything for a laugh and that’s definitely his idea of the best time,” she said.
Described on the card as the “life of the party,” the report also says that Frank loved wrestling with his buddies.
“It makes my heart so happy to know that he has so many pals at preschool,” said Spahr. Working on etiquette skills in his preschool class, the report also told Frank’s owners that his best friends are Daisy, Cooper, Vader, Hudson, and even a dog named Angus Beef.
