over coffee

1.20.14
i fluttered quietly,
watching her eyes catch hold of old thoughts
and new truths
listening to the way her love 
poured from each sentence,
overflowing into morning light
and wedging into the space between us
too happy to move
feeling alive and enthralled 
and letting each syllable fall into 
my mind, each letter absorb into my heart
recording this moment like i do all 
perfectly orchestrated memories
fluttering quietly
listening to the sound of her love

i tend to listen. i also tend to stare
the ice pellets melt into sheets 
when you are not there

(these words are ours)

we all know a lot can happen in a year. last year started out like any other...but it ended with a kiss at midnight that would change my life forever.

that being said, I am currently without the bulk of my art supplies most of the time, working with my favorite basics (inks, paints, stamps, etc.) and monthly kits. (Studio calico PL main kit and Cocoa daisy monthly stamp sub) I have to admit it's incredibly freeing. Both being limited and obsessed with recording this amazing time/life change i am going through. I have never been more inspired or more filled with color and ideas in my artsy lifetime. Here is my first page of the 2014 album:
