as I prepare for the NYC half marathon . . .

being aware of the details of our running
gives you economy of energy
leading to purity of movement --
running free and easy .
loping loosely and lightly - dancing !

was so lucky to do a shoot at this beautiful house .

pine needles mixed in paint on the living room wall
a hundred butterflies pressed between plexiglas panels in the bathroom
a door covered in the bark of a birch tree

And my heart bled within me; for you can only be free when even the desire of seeking freedom becomes a harness to you, and when you cease to speak of freedom as a goal and a fulfilment.

You shall be free indeed when your days are not without a care nor your nights without a want and a grief,But rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked and unbound.

And how shall you rise beyond your days and nights unless you break the chains which you at the dawn of your understanding have fastened around your noon hour?In truth that which you call freedom is the strongest of these chains, though its links glitter in the sun and dazzle your eyes.

- Kahlil Gibran

" I was so happy I thought I was dreaming . That's why I wanted to die with you on the toboggan ."

a road in mexico .

we are a strange lot, for we cherish the things that our hearts and minds need instead of the materialism of the rest of the country .
we may dress a little differently but that's not it . for us a walk in the park or along the beach is one of the most beautiful things we can do on earth .

"Perhaps as you went along you did learn something.
I didn't care what it was all about. All I wanted to know was how to live in it.

Maybe if you found out how to live in it you learned from that what it was all about."
