Right back at you

She cannot see what she has made

Her love has shaped

And soul has moulded

Her hands have guided

And heart has felt

And yet she cannot see

That her greatest masterpiece

Is what she gives to me.

It's her.

She paints my smile

And draws my strength

Reworks my fears

And outlines my dreams

Our friendship is a work of art

It's thyme for you to step 

outside your frame

Into the real world 

I can paint a pretty picture for her

Giving back some of the colour

That she brings to me.

Hands & Feet

I may not be good for much but, whipping out some acrylic paint and coating my little brothers hands and feet in it and attempting to neatly transfer the paint onto cartridge paper is something I can do xx. 

New artwork

I'm not sure I'm happy with this one, but alas it has been along time since I have shared what is going on behind the curtains artistically.  This is a sneak peak of what is to come xx.

"Thou wilt show me the path of life:

in thy presence in fullness of joy;

at thy right hand there are 

pleasures forevermore."

- Psalm 16:11

These adventures in solitude never done

For some reason everything in my world, feels a little different, like something profound has changed; the way I view things, the way others view me, my relationships and everything that orbits my life I suppose.  I feel like a new road is approaching, which it is, and its a big unchartered one, which I will drive in solitude.  

Until I see you around 

Until we clear the accounts 

Leave it there 

Leave it to us 

We are the challengers of 

The unknown

What does it all mean, I constantly find myself asking myself.  Is all this leading up to something, should I not have let that go? or was that purely a learning experience?  Some things, I just cannot for the life of me work out whether I should give up on them yet or not.  How can you know?  I want the answers and I want them now.  Damnit I want you exactly as you were those months ago xx.  

Lovely Day

Today many lovely things happened to me, I don't know whether it was karma, lady-luck or just plain dumb luck but whatever it was, it was in plentiful supply.  

• Found a notebook by THE Florence Broadhurst for free with Bazaar Magazine! The notebooks printed by Signiture Prints are in excess of $40 so this was a real score in my books :)
• Had a lovely vegetarian lunch from Snoogies
• Found awesomely cool red paper that fades to white for my resume' which I handed to Shiva Moon (P.S. Just between you and me I may have a job there very soon)
• Found a new shop in Cairns that stocks Elke Kramer and Zou Mou jewellery, and wait for it... Holga Lomography Cameras! There are only about 10 suppliers in Australia so this is not only big news for me but big news for Cairns!
• Found the caramel brown shoes that I have been wanting for 7 months now and haven't been able to locate anywhere.  They were only $30 too!
• Suprisingly I found 'the classic The Graduate' film at the video store, which I will now be able to watch
• Wore my new fragrence; Escada Moon Sparkle for the first time

Kudoos for good news, it may not be your good news, or yours either but I'm sure that if you smell the roses that little bit more often you will come across some dandy things along the way too xx. 

Dear Diary

Indeed it has been a mighty long time, but you see I am at the contemplative stage of my life. I am past grieving over all the things that have exhausted my emotions and am at the point of preparing for the next stage of my life. Of which I hope to expand my circle of friends, build some everlasting memories living the city life, contemplate the world on the train and build a creative and beautiful home to share and furthermore work towards the ultimate goal of 'making it' in the creative world. So at the moment I am content with my humble existence, plus there are plenty of exciting things to look forward to quite regularly.   I think I am getting closer to being comfortable in my own skin and more used to the complications of life, i feel this every so often but this feeling is becoming more frequent, which is a good sign right? xx.
