if you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

don't settle...
don’t settle. know what you want and reach for it. and if you don’t know what you want, be patient. the answers will come to you in time, and you may find that your heart’s desire has been right under your nose all the while.

be careful..
be careful of words,
even the miraculous ones.
for the miraculous ones we do our best,
sometimes they swarm like insects
and leave not a sting but a kiss.
they can be good as fingers.
they can be trusty as the rock
you stick your bottom on.
but they can be both daisies and bruises.
yet I am in love with words.
they are doves falling out of the ceiling.
they are six holy oranges sitting in my lap.
they are the trees, the legs of summer,
and the sun, its passionate face.
yet often they fail me.
i have so much i want to say,
so many stories, images, proverbs, etc.
but the words aren’t good enough,
the wrong ones kiss me.
sometimes i fly like an eagle
but with the wings of a wren.
but i try to take care
and be gentle to them.
words and eggs must be handled with care.
once broken they are impossible
things to repair.

loneliness...
loneliness adds beauty to life.
it puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.

they
they are fleeting.
they are fragile.
they require
little water
they’ll surprise you.
they’ll remind you
that they aren’t
and that they are you.

my father
[my father] taught me early that the value of a dish is the pleasure
it brings you; where you are sitting when you eat it—
and who you are eating it with—are what really matter.
perhaps the most important life lesson he passed on was: don’t be a snob.
it’s something I will always at least aspire to—something that has allowed me to travel this world and eat all it has to offer without fear or prejudice.
to experience joy, my father taught me, one has to leave oneself open to it.

i...
i take a few steps and stop.
i savor the total oblivion into which i have fallen.
i am between two cities, one knows nothing of me, the other knows me no longer.

small detail..
it’s more interesting to have just a picture of a small detail - then you can dream all the rest around it.
because when you see the whole thing, what is there to imagine?

april is over...
well, let it pass, he thought; april is over, april is over.
there are all kinds of love in the world, but never the same love twice.
