Live in Love

  We should honestly recognise life’s absurdity and then live in love

for one another

Albert Camus

 

Broken

Abandoned cities (especially modern cities) fascinate me to no end. I find it remarkable that someones whole livelihood can be deserted so readily (out of necessity) and the world in which they once shared is left to live out its own life in free rein (like the wild animals of Chernobyl). Most often its creepy, but the above Detroit houses have a certain surrealistic beauty to them.

Photo of Little Pieces

I really love little remnants of animal remains. Especially bones and fossils, because they are white and look like porcelain. Carlita sent me this pretty image from http://verywells.com. I recently found some tiny fossilized shark teeth at my favourite crystal shop (a little obsessed) and made a wee charm necklace out of them. Its cute, people think they're granite. 

Minerals

This woman really likes crystals. I like that. She is an artist, that second image is a painting of hers (Pyrite, oil on masonite), amazing! I also like all of the shapes that crystals make (hence the permanent homage), hmm geometry.

I'm out in the woods, I'm lost in my mind

NATURE

There is a delight in the
Hardy life of the open
There are no words that can
Tell the hidden spirit of the
Wilderness that can reveal
Its mystery its melancholy
And its charm
The nation behaves well if it
Treats the natural resources
As assets which it must turn
Over to the next generation
Increased and not impaired
In value
Conservation means development
As much as if does protection

 - Theodore Roosevelt

  I love nature, it's pretty freaking amazing.

Here is a quote from Teddy Roosevelt... 26th President of the United States. It is inscribed in stone inside the Natural History Museum in NYC... right next to the T. Rex skeleton
