wow. i didn't realize it had been so long since I had checked in here. the holidays really do just WHIZ by, don't they!?!?!?

a couple africa teasers...

...since it's taking SO long for me to get through my 1200 pictures....

tanzania was breathtaking. simply breathtaking. primal. vital. deeply affecting.

life feeds art.

Mrs. Whitney has been a phenomenal experience for me. And I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks so: Chron Review

If any of you want to come, I can hook you up with 1/2 price tix. It's a great show.

blog at rest

at this point I would not be surprised to find out that I have lost the small handful of readers that visit my little blog.... and i just wanted to say that i am sorry for my silence.

It is simply this: Dave and I have been going through a very difficult and very painful separation. It has been, hands down, the hardest thing I have encountered in my 35 years on this planet.

I have found that the last thing I want to do these days is be on my computer. I'm not sure why. I just don't want to deal. Which means that my yahoo account currently boasts 600 unread emails and my facebook page is only rarely visited and this here little blog has been ignored.

But.

I think the pendulum may be swinging. I would like to tell you about my Africa trip. It was astounding. It was life changing and affirming. And I have some pretty awesome pictures. I would like to tell you about my new show at the Magic. It's gonna be a good one. I would to tell you about the reading that I just did over in Marin. I would like to share what it's like to get caught in a torrential downpour on my bike. I hope to be able to get it together to do some of this soon.... but I'm still in 'one day at a time' mode.

So.

To all of you who have been such amazing rocks to lean on through this time, I thank you from the deepest depths of my soul. I know that I am in no shape to return the favor these days, but you have all rekindled my belief in the power of love and friendship and openness and communion and TRUTH and breath and flow and empathy. Thank you.
