1. my phones screen saver of late. read it how you want to. love yourself so you can love others well. or love others so you can get love back.
2. empty pools. there’s something about the surrounding colours, angular lines and cavernous space that appeals to me so.
3. i have this thing with shadows. shall i hashtag that?
4. posted this on instagram the other day and i think it deserves a repost here. it’s a good month islamically to give as well, so it’s a nice simple reminder to myself to give more and more. and iA the riches will follow.
5. last week i was living at lowes. this week i’m praying for seedlings (grass seedlings) to sprout. should i just bail on this plan and opt for a fast growing ground cover? this post from a lazy toronto environmentalist (his words, not mine) are really making me think twice.
6. niyya got a new dolly from her dadi for her birthday a few weeks back. and at first glance thought, “cool, i’ll just go and exchange it for a darker haired doll.” you know, one that looks more like us. but then, as i got to thinking, changed my mind about that completely. the point of a baby dolly is to love and care for someone other than yourself. and i thought, why not love and care for a blonde haired blue eyed baby? even though she doesn’t look like us she is still one of us. in the human sense. right? so baby ina is here to stay and we all love her so.
7. one of many likes on instagram this week courtesy of u_issa.
8. there’s a new path i discovered in my forest the other day and those 6am walks in there with the sound of my thoughts, breath and the leaves on the trees are just the best.
9. finally read thru mr. steve jobs commencement address for the graduates of stanford from a few years ago. wow, there’s a lot of good insight in there. click to read the speech in its entirety, or if you’re a mac user and into a hunt, find it tucked away in the hard drive of your computer.
10. christina norberg art is nice. her work explores places “where everything intersects. where everything feels right.” my kinda girl.
