  • This gives such a wonderful glimpse into another world from the past. The imagery is so fine one could be watching a camcorder of the days events. There is a great sense of enjoyment, rythmn and constancy in a world that seems so much more sure of itself.

  • on Risk by Anais Nin, on June 25
    This sums up so well the conflict of the mind and the heart, particularly for a woman beset by the fear of 'becoming' & the risks it might involve, yet so perfectly expresses when the heart can no longer be supressed by the mind or remain fearful alone.
