Ah, back at home, oh safe haven from staring eyes that give you a quick once over and go on to the next victim. I have grown almost oblivious to them in three and a half years time, but I still get the urge to look away like a convicted criminal before the jury. At the turn of the year, I made silent vow to myself to find some actually organization and focus in my disorderly, turn-of-the-adult world. Funny when I think about it at times of reflection, I can picture the world inside my head rather ever-changing. Light and dark, cool and warm, more like the weather around this ZOO in the 'Zoo. Lime greens and bold purples, then soft blues and homely yellows, circular dreams and square realities, vines of the jungle among the cobwebs of my inspirations.

Home among my books and summer weather in my un-insulated room and spring weather in the backyard, the tarot cards and cd's, candles, many, many candles and dark panels. Here I am safe and here I am me.
