blurrrr.

i feel like right now my life is such a blur.
and perhaps it is just this month as there has been a lot of out of town travel and more to come.
But I feel like it is speeding by and in the process I am neglecting things.
my home.
my studio.
my kitties.
my cooking supplies.
here.

Sometimes I wish there was a pause button or slow motion setting so I could linger in a moment before the next moment begins

something about this images is...

both beautiful and heartbreakingly sad.

Artist Mauruzio Cattelan is not normally an artist that I would be interested in but the below work was recently at the new museum and the above work is currently at the Sydney biennial.


and for some reason seeing this animal dead and helpless but seemingly so calm and at peace is astoundingly moving to me.
I prefer the top work but even the headless one still evokes a peacefulness in the posture of the body that is mesmerising and yet...
provokes horror and sadness as well.




Other work by the artist evokes the same sadness and helplessness but with humor and laughter toward the human experience.

Cattelan has a subtle sense of the paradoxes of transgression, the limits of tolerance...his work has provoked and challenged the limits of contemporary value systems through its use of irony and humor. He teases the art world without ever falling into the naive trap of thinking he can subvert a system of which he is part.

the most beautiful light...

is filling my home.
soft.
warm.
and bright.



the most beautiful light is greeting my day.
and I feel grateful that I am here ...
and able to live this today.

Does it look like I had a beautiful weekend?

Well, I did.
It was so nice (amazing) to get out of the city.
out of my responsibilities.
out of my habits.
and just ... be.

Just be me.

Though I was a bit disappointed by the actual workshop I attended.
I was not disappointed by the weekend.
It was beautiful, the food was delicious and wholesome, the yoga and yoga dance was inspiring and felt great, and the view...well to be quite honest the view was all I actually needed.

And though I did not love the workshop or teacher it was good in the sense that I learned something...maybe I do not need workshops or "gurus" anymore. .. after a 15 year yoga practice, 10 of which have been consistent and serious...I realized I have all the tools I need, now I just need to use them and put them into practice.
The guru that I have been looking for is within myself...it has always been within me and now maybe I am finally ready to learn from her.

so busy this week but...

this weekend will be the perfect me moment.
As I am going here.

And studying with this amazing teacher.

So hopefully it will be bursting with fall colors, I will connect with myself, and maybe get my body in a shape like this:

or... maybe that shape/pose is for next year?

need a package?

of love ?

gorgeous, simple, gorgeous

so simple.

so beautiful.

so gorgeous.


Just what I need to look at and be inspired by during a cluttered, hectic, not simple week.

so tired and overwhelmed...

I do not know what is up with me but this week I am simply exhausted...exhausted...exhausted.
I just do not want to get out of bed and once I am home I just want to veg in front of the tv.

I hope energy comes back after the weekend and perhaps the stars shift? And I can get back to am yoga- studio work in the pm- no dark circles under my hair- and taking the actual time to make dinner as opposed to calling take-out.

We will see...how is your energy this week?

no time, gotta run, see ya soon...

lately I have been running so fast I feel like I look like a blur.
Promise new posts tomorrow...

slept

today I let myself sleep in because I was exhausted.
but now my body is so stiff and achey that I wish I had gotten up and done yoga as usual.
I really wish I could both sleep in and yoga...
that darn 24 hours thing!
