he chose shelter before beer
After 45 years my father finally checked himself into rehab. He has made it 21 days and each day from here on out will be heavy choice for my father.
Regardless of his choices in life he has inspired me–click here.
He is and always was”sitting in a tin can far above the world.”

A Vibration
© Crystal Liepa
I am not constructing meaning rather provoking a feeling, a mood, an aura, a vibration.

There are people whose game is success, but others
hear distance: guided, often betrayed,
they wander their lives. Their voices go by
every day, outside of history, outside
of importance. They ritual whatever they do.

May, Mary Oliver

May, and among the miles of leafing,
blossoms storm out of the darkness –
windflowers and moccasin flowers. The bees
dive into them and I too, to gather
their spiritual honey. Mute and meek, yet theirs
is the deepest certainty that this existence too –
this sense of well being, the flourishing of the physical body–rides
near the hub of the miracle that everything
is a part of, is as good
as a poem or a prayer, can also make
luminous any dark place on earth.

prairie grass
i have so much to learn, so much work to do. and i feel excited to begin. i’m referring to everything. every single thing. today i had a moment where i felt that i could be doing more, making my self better and calmer, working harder and embracing the people i care about more. i think this is the spring influencing.
rachel took this portrait of me at the Weisman Art Museum as we jumped around the rolling, shining facade. our playfulness is helping me to be a better person.
