Took some pics for miss Sephorah the last few nights, just like old times when we'd take pictures & write stories & make art of each other. I don't know what came over me - but all emotionally tender it sounded like a great idea. I'm glad I did. Somehow by the time I finished I felt better. More alive even. I hope that she enjoys getting them as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Just downloaded an app to post to this sucker. Can't wait to see how it goes. I think I need a design revamp soon.

been an interesting day. just got back from a photo shoot with the ever lovely Eris Vafias. She's doing an art show in August with photos and paintings based on the Greek pantheon and had me pose for her as a sad and dark Persephone. Was a good time and I did my best to look both like statuary, and a woman trapped against her will in the underworld for 6 months a year. Sort of bitter and a little bit tempting. I will have to post some of the photos if she gets them to me.
On the way home it dawned on me that its a lovely evening and that even though i grew up less than a mile away from where I've been living for the last 5 years I haven't been back to the old neighborhood since I moved away when i was 10. So I took a nice slow cruise along some very nice residential streets. I managed to find my grandparents old house, my best friend's house from back in the day, and "The House of Many Windows" - which as a little girl I always told myself I would live in when I grew up. It was surprisingly just as cool as I remembered if not more so. Always pleasant when you encounter a thing that you loved childhood actually lives up to your recollection of it. I don't think I'll ever live there (unless I win the lottery or become a very well paid doctor or somesuch) but it made me smile to drive by and see the house that I loved so much is still there & looking lovelier than ever. I wonder if I will ever see the inside of it. I am toying with the idea of putting on normal people clothes and knocking on the door some afternoon - but if I explained that this was my childhood gingerbread house the owners would probably think that I'm a looney toon. Then again instead of calling the cops they might give me a tour. Who knows unless you try right?

It's raining tonight and as always that seems to put me in a pensive
mood. Something about the smell of the air makes me langorous and
feline. I want to sink into sensation feel the tide tugging at my
hair, warm breath upon my skin. When it's raining I am your goddess,
slipping in like a dream. Speak my name and it is a prayer answered.
The one you forgot. The one that you needed.

Sometimes in the mornings she puts on red shoes and wonders what her life would have been like if she wore red shoes every day.

Had the strangest dream this morning about going on a quest to my grandmother's house to get my oil paints. Leo came with me and on the way there I was waltzing to eagle cries (which were strangely tchiacovski's waltz of the flowers), and then we fell down laughing in a field of lazy susans. And I was sad because the eagle left when I decided that I liked it, and after that we only saw ducks.

Its funny how sometimes the ghosts of our past rise up to haunt us, just when you think they have finally gone on.
