What about little microphones? What if everyone swallowed them, and they played the 
sounds of our hearts through little speakers, which could be in the pouches of our overalls?
What I love most about my home is that it's decorated to 
inspire creativity. Creativity that extends beyond doors, 
infuses ideas, radiates through smiles, heightens 
in sheets, and brightens dim days. My own beautiful freedom.

close your eyes
clear your heart
let it go
the finest of waves, the coldest of waters, the best of the west
a West Cliff ride, an East Cliff run, a Rio walk
a morning chat, an afternoon cruise, a sunset stroll
a way of life; your freedom to choose
a creative mind, a happy heart, a soulful spirit
an escape, your release, a liberating high
a stranger, a new friend, a life-long hello
the ocean, the forest, the people
sex, drugs, bass 'n beats
the way you feel, how you move, who you are

May your coming year be filled with magic and good madnessI hope you 
read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't 
forget to make some art- write or draw or build or sing or live as 
only you can. And I hopesomewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.

art 
is 
everywhere
but you have to see it
   
dear best friend, 
i love you more daily. i wish you could 
see yourself the way i see you and i wish
 you could love yourself the way i love 
you. you are perfect in your own definition 
of the word. i wish you a world of opportunity, 
a home full of love, a mind filled with 
questions, and word-happy, kissed-often 
lips. you deserve it all.

take into account that
great love 
and
great achievements
involve
great risk

thank-you stranger, for your therapeutic smile
she liked to pretend she was a prism
like things could pass through her
and be beautiful
i'll take your word
words are all we have to understand each other
