Jung Hee was right.

Her churning imagination is almost like a fever within

You have to believe that there is more than you can understand before you can begin to understand at all.
p34 Everyday Apocalypse

p35 a quote fm Flannery Oconnor's Wise Blood
"The black sky was underpinned with long silver streaks that looked like scaffolding and depth on depth behind it were thousands of stars that all seemed to be moving very slowly as if they were about some vast construction work that involved the whole order of the universe and would take all time to complete. No one was paying attention to the sky."

Whatever we call "art," and whatever we call "work" will both either put things right or contribute to the proliferation of mediocrity.

wellspring of life, and i only want a tiny lick --JL

"It, now and forever, is bigger than we think. It is always more than we have in mind ("Why do you call me good?"). I'm grateful for and in dire need of whatever art can keep me awake and alive to the mystery, whatever keeps me paying attention, whatever reminds me that none of us (and no ideology) are possessors of the final say. Art that doesn't bear witness to the opaque, the mysterious, or even allow any ambiguity is propaganda at best and , at worst, a ministry of death, an exercise in sentimentalizing, self-congratulatory delusion."

a love birthed in karaoke, and solidified with time and a CD-full.

dreamy/ a sincerity that balances

throwing darts at a dartboard of yourself.. my pic on the dartboard i guess. my fave-- dreamt of being at an opera type show-- Lyds, jack, anna a, dad, mel, and other fam and CGers were there.. helping anna move apts on bikes, actually like 4 of us including mel on my bike .. ameerah at the ballet in lingerie. i met some blonde nerdy guy who drove us in my station wagon for a few blocks, me realizing dad would be ticked.. i ended up ignoring the dude once we were with my friends and he went away-- there was some work mixed in there-- weird about walking in on a pt and her spouse...


next night..

dreamed of scrubbing into the OR with mom-- that she was a veteran OR nusre helping out a young doc, nephew or a friend of something "getting the CXR and risking infection"??? Facebook with jenny and char at the beach, jenny waiting to make a friday date night artwork in the sand (whatever that means!).. taking a pic in front of bottom of the muffin or something cafe-- hot bread and pizza-- telling melix about it later, a funny pic and story came of it apparently-- weird
