Video Collage of our West Coast Roadtrip

Had to make room on my damn computer by compressing this footage quickly. This is thrown together and occured in the month of April this year. We saw Justin in Santa Monica, cow farms, seals and waterfalls on Highway One, The Cottage in Carmel, windfarms, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Japanese Tea Garden...you know, everything touristy. I will never ever forget the feeling of it. 

Affirmation

Assata's Affirmation

I believe in being
I believe in the spectrum
of beta days and gamma people.
I believe in sunshine.
in windmills and waterfalls,
tricycles and rocking chairs.
And I believe that seeds grow into sprouts.
And sprouts grow into trees.
I believe in the magic of the hands.
And in the wisdom of the eyes.
I believe in rain and tears.
And in the blood of infinity.

I believe in life.
And I have seen the death parade
march through the torso of the earth
sculpting mud bodies in its path.
I have seen the destruction of the daylight
and seen bloodthirsty maggots pray to and saluted.

I have seen the kind become the blind
and the blind become the bind
in one easy lesson.
I have walked on cut glass.
I have eaten crow and blunder bread
and breathed the breath of indifference.

I have been locked by the lawless.
Handcuffed by the haters.
Gagged by the greedy.
And, if I know anything at all,
it's that a wall is just a wall
and nothing more at all.
It can be broken down.

I believe in living.
I believe in birth.
I believe in the sweat of love
and in the fire of truth.

And I believe that a lost ship
steered by tired, seasick sailors
can still be guided home to port.

Spray Painting on Sunday

Today as I was cleaning up around our garage, I found boxes and boxes full of unused spray paint! Of course I got the urge to paint over several of my never finished pieces of cheap art. What would it hurt? I have never really used spray paint before but I loved it! Now I feel led to spray color on sidewalks, trains, and buildings. I can see why graffiti artists' do what they do.

Plus, with this guide anyone can become a graffiti artist. It's addicting! If I ever get the chance (without getting caught) I promise only to deliver positive messages using elementary hearts, flowers, and stars. I hope you enjoy the second experiment of the day which is the video I created using iMovie (of me painting). Beware: I am no master artist nor do I aim to be...It's just therapy:)

p.s. Here is a must read Art Article here!

Our kittens are getting crazy! Luz, the kitten in the background, learned a lot after this scene and is now taking part in the de-threading of Jamie's jeans.
