Right Now

Right now:

There are Tibetan Buddhist monks in a temple in the Himalayas endlessly reciting mantras for the cessation of your suffering and for the flourishing of your happiness.

Someone you haven’t met yet is already dreaming of adoring you.

Someone is writing a book that you will read in the next two years that will change how you look at life.

Nuns in the Alps are in endless vigil, praying for the Holy Spirit to alight the hearts of all of God’s children.

A farmer is looking at his organic crops and whispering, “nourish them.”

Someone wants to kiss you, to hold you, to make tea for you. Someone is willing to lend you money, wants to know what your favourite food is, and treat you to a movie. Someone in your orbit has something immensely valuable to give you — for free.

Something is being invented this year that will change how your generation lives, communicates, heals and passes on.

The next great song is being rehearsed.

Thousands of people are in yoga classes right now intentionally sending light out from their heart chakras and wrapping it around the earth.

Millions of children are assuming that everything is amazing and will always be that way.

Someone is in profound pain, and a few months from now, they’ll be thriving like never before. They just can’t see it from where they’re at.

Someone who is craving to be partnered, to be acknowledged, to ARRIVE, will get precisely what they want — and even more. And because that gift will be so fantastical in it’s reach and sweetness, it will quite magically alter their memory of angsty longing and render it all “So worth the wait.

Someone has recently cracked open their joyous, genuine nature because they did the hard work of hauling years of oppression off of their psyche — this luminous juju is floating in the ether, and is accessible to you.

Someone just this second wished for world peace, in earnest.

Someone is fighting the fight so that you don’t have to.

Some civil servant is making sure that you get your mail, and your garbage is picked up, that the trains are running on time, and that you are generally safe. Someone is dedicating their days to protecting your civil liberties and clean drinking water.

Someone is regaining their sanity. Someone is coming back from the dead. Someone is genuinely forgiving the seemingly unforgivable. Someone is curing the incurable. 

You. Me. Some. One. Now.

Girly Dress

I got this dress in the mail the other day... I bought it off of etsy! I haven't found an opportunity to wear it yet, but my roommate wants to have a garden party for her birthday next week, so I think it might be perfect for that!

St. John's!

I went out to visit my sister in Newfoundland on the weekend of the 18th/19th of June... I'm just getting to uploading the pictures on my computer now... I've been busy! Anyways, Newfoundland is an amazing place... I saw mostly St. John's and the surrounding area, but we did make a day trip down to Cape St. Mary's where there is a bird sanctuary. Pretty cool! Anyways, here are some of my pictures from the trip

Today's Outfit

I wanted to look cute today because I was holding office hours for the course I am a TA for. There is a test coming up so I wanted to seem cool to any of the students that came in with questions, hahaha. It was awkward to bike in though because a) biking in a dress is never easy and b) it was windy so a few times the wind blew under it and I'm pretty sure I flashed my undies to a girl I was biking past.



























Sorry for bad webcam photos. The dress is an item that I picked up at Value Village last fall... I altered it
because it used to be about ankle length and it buttoned up to the neck and had an ugly collar. Much better now however. Cardigan from h&m.

Emerson


































 I found this Illustration on Etsy by thewheatfield... it is a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, that to me pretty much embodies what summer should be. It is when I see or read things like this that I wish I wasn't in classes during the summer.. I just want to spend my days outside!! Cottage this weekend though! Pleas no thundershowers!

Phases of the sun


























This picture shows the phases of the sun across the sky over a 6 month period - from December 19th, 2007 to June 21st 2008. From one solstice to the other. I think it is wonderfully eerie, and amazing that it was shot using a pinhole camera made out of a pop can. Photograph by: Justin Quinnell
