She made up her mind about her future on that long walk home.
When she arrived she went through all of her things and threw them out,
erasing herself quietly behind closed doors…
..
I guess we’ll never know what she was thinking.
It’s just as well.

I go on to compare that infinite silence with this voice,
and I remember the eternal and the dead seasons,
and the living present, and its sound,
so that in this immensity my thoughts are drowned,
and shipwreck seems sweet to me
in this sea.

When the lights go out, the sea would rise at the foot of her bed, like magic.
The four winds would guide ships to faraway lands and the stars would gather around her,
whispering their secrets.

My friend has a recurring nightmare where he finds himself in a world
where people are manufactured in factories and packed in tin cans.
I shudder to think of such a world.

The Chocolate Nostalgia site is finally up! It was changed from its original full flash version with animated stars, clouds, underwater creatures (and a flying Mark and Johanna perched on clouds hehe) to this simpler HTML version with only the waves bobbing up and down. We still have some things to fix but you may already check it out HERE.

…like a long forgotten dream
. - Portishead

I saw this boy sitting quietly, blowing bubbles in a busy street amidst the noise and confusion of a festival.
It was like a scene from a dream long ago, almost forgotten, buried underneath memories of growing up.

We’re all falling. This hand here is falling.
And look at the other one. It’s in them all.

And yet there is someone, whose hands,
infinitely calm, holding up all this falling.

Inspire Me Thursday - Crayons
.
When I saw this week’s Inspire Me Thursday prompt I couldn’t help smiling. I had a lot of happy memories with crayons when I was little. I dug up my old grade school crayons and brought them to the studio. There were many broken pieces and a lot of colors were missing but some old favorites were still there - salmon, periwinkle, goldenrod and bittersweet.  I felt like a kid again

He often wondered where the strange things came from
And in his heart, the longing to see what it was like across the ocean grew
- if they sang when the moon was full, if they danced when it rained,
if there was anybody there who was just like him.

If I were a king
If I had everything
If I had you and I could give you your dreams
If I were giant-sized, on top of it all
Then tell me what in the world would I go on for
If I had it all
