and then i made a map

i could find my way back"

little bit of a tribute to lykke li

lykke li:

i forgot how amazing she was
until a recent streak of li's in mi life,

the blogotheque presents:
el perro del mar & lykke li - dance.dance.dance.

and am hooked again.
she casts spells of the kaleidoscopic kind. where you're not sure how she caught you in her net of tonel colors but you're there and entranced in her poplicious dance gems. trying to sew it all together, i think i finally have my finger on some ittle li bits and pieces. she gets you with her fragile voice that sings, whissspers, squeaks, hiccUps, coocoocackews. she lets her lyrics spill all over you which make and break your heart over and over. she bumps ethereal disco beats in the back and has a funky purple glitter'd tambourine that she shakes, rattles and rolls all over her rhythms in the front. the foot stomps, chimes, flutes, kazoOoOos, harpsichords all spell out ittle bits of the puzzle. sista's got it down. she is a rockstar, a rockstar of the purest form and this is a ittle tiny tribute to the li.

"i have may different sides to myself, i am a complex person. i have many layers of my personality to choose from, i am super-sensitive and i am super-strong."

"so when i trip on my feet i look at the beat the words are written in the sand, when i’m shaking my hips look for the swing the words are written in the air"



i'm good. i'm gone.
(friendly fires remixx)

workin in the corner
peakin over shoulder's
waiting for my time to come
working in the corner
one day to the other
butter on my piece of bun
stepping on a stone and i'm all gone
give me the tone and i'm all gone
yeah, i'm walking by the line
not here, but in my mind
i'm working a sweat
but it's all good
i'm breaking my back
but it's all good
'cause i know i'll get it back
yeah, i know your hands will clap
i'm working to make butter for my piece of bun
and i'm hanging around 'till it's all done
you can't keep me back once i had some
no wasting time to get it right
and you will see what i'm about
'cause i'm working a sweat
but it's all good
i'm breaking my back but it's all good
'cause i know i'll get it back
yeah, i know your hands will clap

time flies
(youth novels versions)

i sit tight, don't want to miss the show
i hang on, don't want to miss my prime
time will fly, upon my baby's back
time will fly, upon my baby's back
stay a while, my baby wants me to
don't you go, my baby begs me so
but tide will dry, upon my baby's back
tide will dry, upon my baby's back
and i get weak
i get weary
imiss sleep
i get moody
i'm in thoughts
i write songs,
i'm in love
i walk on
so fingers crossed, my time is coming now
don't you go, my baby begs me so
time will fly, upon my baby's back

(ft. drake)

hands down
i'm too proud for love
but with eyes shut

cause i don't know
but eye to eye
thigh to thigh
i let go

life as color

:snowflake'd eyelash kisses:

waking up under a white blanket of snow
moseying sips of coffee
slippers on my toesies
a fire blazing and my cheeks a little rosie
so nice to be home
feelings warm and cozy

anne truit's 'living colors' exhibit @ the hirchhorn gallery
(all quotes by anne truit)
a late december day with kat

...it hurts me to bee on the cutting edge

on living colors,
"the color has to sing from the inside out, lift the color up and set it free in three dimensions. i've been trying to do this for forty years and after forty years it has become flesh, human, emotion, its alive, it vibrates, it sings, and it moves as the light works it."

cat power - willie

"set color free in three dimensions, for its own sake
a pursuit i saw as, analogous to my feeling for the
freedom of my own body and my own being,
as if in some mysterious way
i felt myself to be color"

i always wanted a pony - the weekend

“…what i was trying to do was to take paintings off the wall, to set colors free...”



"my sculpture stood there and
i watched as time formed around it"

.salicious.satin.

.satin desert.

you plus me pressed between sheets
does it get any better than this?
transfixed in bliss
blast off
so high on desert planes
under billions of galaxies
lit by fluttering specs of sparkle
feeling free to feel it all
molten emotions burning so right
finding what i'm looking for
transcending till
wind swept dust spills over us
i believe in kingdom come
because our colors bleed into one
coming down
tucked deep into your arms
sweet, sweet tumbling sleep
to wake and find morning on your skin
laughter light
tracing patterns on your back
flirting with love under satin forts
when i go back to full moon skies
i go with you.

denmark: the season of the low sun

...there's a little truth behind every just kidding, a little curiosity behind every just wondering, a little knowledge behind every i don't know, and a little emotion behind every i don't care.

.light.

pretty little angel eyes, don't you worry
wont let you down
because im taking my own freedom
putting it in my soul
figuring out the duality of personalities
finding the voice and stringing them all together
binary systems of learning
strung like paper lanterns
scattered dawns of new days
in danish seasons with the low sun
relinquishing your light
making the air glow stars
love in your eyes makes me go blind
you know its not me that wants to go
lately feeling like that's all i know
meet people like you
sinking my roots
new soils are growing
feeling really strong
cant think about anything other than that
when i turn around its good to know
your spirit will still glow.

the red lips said, "i believe in your magic because your magic is real.
i mean, i hope it's real because if not then i don't believe in magic."

he said, "its all in your head"
i said, "so's everything, but he didn't get it."

"i'm the type who'd be happy not going anywhere as long as i was sure i knew exactly what was happening at the place i wasn't going to. i'm the type who'd like to sit home and watch every party that i'm invited to on a monitor in my bedroom." - andy warhol

oneself into ourselves:

not everything happens for a reason
everything happens so that you can assess it
test it on your own framework, the self
each self is different in how we integrate
perceive
interpret
assimilate
in our surroundings
each contributing to the unique fabric
of the collective unconscious,
better societies equal better understanding of ones self
in the context of the community
staying true to our self forms the strongest society
one of consciousness
interest for the well being of community
constantly modifying
repositioning
evolving
adapting
ourselves to see life
from the strongest threshold in which we are capable of
each understanding their own value
constantly seeking our truth
truth of the individual self
and once we find this
we can manifest it
keep it as part of our psyche
to share
teach
others
who are on their journey too,
constant evolutions of ones self to ourselves.

don't judge a book by its movie

yellow leaves that dance
"good morning"
yes, i think it will bee alright
after all.

sometimes we know more is less.
sometimes me know less is more.

.two winters ago.

i dont care as much about the others
i dont know if its good or bad or bad or good

but it worries me because
i can say the most wonderful words
but he won't understand like you did,
i can paint the most beautiful scapes
but he'll never see them like you did,
i can show him the way like you showed me
but i know that he'll never be part of the we

like i once was, where one is two and two is whole
where our colors are bold
here i am a year out and still turned inside out

so i face it,
because i know so much already
from you who taught me
about the seeing and feeling of authentic knowings
and now im seeing and im not feeling
well trying but its in the old patterns we made
that i squeeze so tight but i still dont feel it
with anyone else like i did with you

it takes time and time and time
is this really the amount of time they talk about
the new you that i hang onto
i long to feel you again
there were all the signs in your eyes
and we knew it wasn't
past and present joining
like the bering straight
until we knew we had to take science for truth

i don't want to be foolish and say that i've known all along
when i still haven't met anyone like you
but what is the past is done and in this is the season of the new sun

i learned after you
never stop teaching yourself
i will never forget my lesson
which is all i know
where there's no time for waiting
and there's no time for turning back
even though its you with whom i want to grow

kings of convenience - boat behind

what i normally really want to say
when i really feel it
is hard for me to define
but i wont say anything
that's not worth something to me.

the time you enjoy wasting
is not wasted time.
