closer to fine


"I'm trying to tell you somethin' about my life

Maybe give me insight between black and white

Anna Sui Fall 2012 RTW


And the best thing you've ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously
It's only life after all, yea

My nephew Speed Racer at the pumpkin patch


Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable

And lightness has a call that's hard to hear

And I wrap my fear around me like a blanket

I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it


I'm crawling on your shores

Me in front of my house in October 2009


I went to the doctor,
I went to the mountains

I looked to the children,
I drank from the fountains

More photos of me in October 2009


There's more than one answer to these questions

Pointing me in a crooked line

Details of my boots and tights from October 2009



The less I seek my source for some definitive

The closer I am to fine...

And I went to see the doctor of philosophy

With a poster of Rasputin 
and a beard down to his knee

My twin nieces playing in the autumn leaves.


He never did marry or see a B grade movie

He graded my performance,

 
he said he could see through me

My nephew Baby JJ napping with his dad.


I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind

Got my paper and I was free...

Inspired by these pages by artist Donna Downey
It says:

...Jo had learned that hearts, like flowers, cannot be rudely handled, but must open naturally...

Closer To Fine 
by Indigo Girls


I stopped by the bar at three a.m.To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friendAnd I woke up with a headache like my head against the boardTwice as cloudy as I'd been the night beforeAnd I went in seeking clarity...

And we go to the doctor, we go to the mountainsWe look to the children, we drink from the fountainsYea we go to the bible, we go through the workoutWe read up on revival, we stand up for the lookout
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line"...
