Peacock Spider Honey

Wednesday, June 29, 2011

✸ I’ve become very obsessed with Peacock Spiders recently. Certain experiences have been contriving to teach me to look very closely at the tiny wonders in our world: the mysteries of minutiae, the infinitesimally small and complex creatures who might otherwise be overlooked in favor of those grander in scale. These wee beasties wave their [...]

Sweet Violets

Wednesday, May 25, 2011

Earlier this month, we took a journey up North, where it is still spring. Little green fiddleheads are just starting to poke their drowsy heads up from the dark earth. The air was sharp and green, the black branches of all the stonefruit trees heavy with bright blossoms. Here in the South, it is mostly [...]

One day, I hope we shall [...]

The J.B. Blunk Residency

Tuesday, October 26, 2010

Back in September, when I was visiting San Francisco, I had the opportunity to experience a very magical place, high up in the green hills of Inverness: The J.B. Blunk Residency, which is sort of a secluded zen fairy cabin-haven for craftsfolk and artists, and all sorts of interesting people. We had the luck to [...]

The Museum of Ephemerata – Underground

Thursday, August 12, 2010

We recently took a trip deep into the bowels of the earth to visit our dear friends Scott and Jen Webel at their amazing new exhibit of cthonic mysteries. I remember back when I was still living in New Orleans, someone told me about this strange museum that had opened up in East Austin. While [...]

Peachtree Moon

Wednesday, June 30, 2010

It’s been a strange and heavy time for me lately, fraught with unforeseen changes, and deep transformation. In times like these, I tend to retreat inward, and am prone to hermiting and becoming protective of my silence, my space to think and ponder whatever may be next. Hanging around in my chrysalis, swaddled in silk-net [...]

Summer Solstice – Poppytime

Monday, June 21, 2010

I haven’t written about our garden in a little while, possibly because I’ve been too busy enjoying working in it, and getting my hands dirty to remember to photograph all the transformations. Poppytime has passed now, and it’s a pity! I had never been able to get them going properly until I figured out to [...]

Poisoned Honey on Blackout Beach

Friday, May 7, 2010

(Paintings by Myrtle Von Damitz III , a New Orleans artist and amazing lady. Her work is prophetic, and speaks to me about what the elemental spirits might be whispering about what we are doing.) Tonight, my grandfather, my sweetheart and I went to eat oysters. We wanted to taste the last fruits of the [...]

Magic Windows #12

Tuesday, April 20, 2010

Hooray, it’s Magic Windows time! It’s been the most gorgeous, luscious spring here – the last few days have been stormy and sullen (in a really enticing way!) Normally, I’m not a fan of gray and gloomy weather, but the rain has made it okay for me to stay in and write during the day [...]
