Old paper and coffee

I love that feeling you get when an old friend suddenly shows back up in your life. You become pen pals with one another. And inside, you secretly feel like those letters are the greatest letters ever written in the history of mankind. Haha. It feels like warm cocoa touching your lips after youve made angels in the snow. Feels like the mug warming your fingertips through your gloves. Feels like Christmas morning and a puppy lick.
Feels like a little gift from life.
It happened to me recently. For that, I am so terribly joyous.

His presence actually sort of sparked my new project. I think he was the cause anyway ha:P

My latest endeavor...

I am cutting all the tags out of my clothing. I am gonna stitch all the little squares together, one by one. Then, once I have my canvas of tags completed, I will paint a modern, rather abstract, multicultural face (male or female) on the top of it. At the top or bottom or side or directly over, I will haphazardly write "Labels Are For Cloth."
I think it gives a wonderful message.
I believe that all art, no matter its form, should not only be aesthetically pleasing, but it should make your soul smile as well.
Art with no message has no beauty.
Just like people.
One must have inner beauty. To the core. To be truly beautiful.

As I sit in Rivertown and write this, my mind wanders back to our speaker last week. A very sweet man. Seemed very easy-going and humble. Very smart as well.
I remember him talking about how there wouldnt be enough food to feed the world one day, if things keep going as are.
This worries me.
So very much.
I hope that one day, one someone will have the most brilliant idea ever and just make it all better.
Everything bad in the world.
I know this thought is silly and irrational.
But one can dream, and maybe through that dreaming, little dreams will be accomplished that will achieve the big dream.
Like a jigsaw puzzle.

I hope so anyway.
