Today's Sunset Diary

My name is Marc

Paris through the Window, Marc Chagall, 1913

"My name is Marc, my emotional life is sensitive and my purse is empty, but they say I have talent."~ Marc Chagall

After a While

After a While


"After a while you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,

And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
And company doesn't mean security.



And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
And presents aren't promises,


And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes open
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child,


And you learn to build all your roads on today
Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans
And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.


After a while you learn...
That even sunshine burns if you get too much.


So you plant your garden and decorate your own soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.


And you learn that you really can endure...

That you really are strong

And you really do have worth...

And you learn and learn...

With every good-bye you learn.” 

Halloween

My Halloween Costume:

Beach Goer

A Liter of Light

Go here if you want to learn more, share or donate.

Now I think of all my Evian bottles going into the recycle bin. 

I want them to go here and be transformed in light instead of floating on the Pacific Ocean.

Vogue Espana

Natasha Poly is the guest editor of Vogue Espana and I think somebody needs to get this for me asap.

Just because I need hair ideas, and Natasha has the best hair out there.

She also has the best cheekbones, but that's not much I can do to get those. 

Actually, there is. Facial exercise.

FlexEffect.

I actually have the book and DVD. I need to actually start doing the work now.

Earth laughs in Flowers.

Pictures from my morning walk.

I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.~ E. E. Cummings.
