Convergence of art and history

Jackson Pollock, Convergence, 1952

I love art history. Because it is the convergence between history and the past happenings with the coloured and textured visual experience within this present space of time.

so, if you please, allow me to share with you art that speaks to me, touches my soul, and plucks my heartstrings.

blue dress

today i bought a dress that whisks me to the greek islands of santorini to twirl.

denim

what i learned today: denim orginated in france.

but why is it the most universally worn clothing article? why is it so popular and why is it blue?

conscious that no place is home...

:( always between the gaps. passports, blood, birthplace, or current city can truly classify home. so i don't think my promise land is here.

maybe its somewhere beyond the sea.

blessed beyond all measure

humbled by the blessings i have received. blessed to be free. blessed to be able to look forward to something.

saved up but never thought i'd say this so soon but "i bought a ticket to EUROPE yesterday!"

beginning of my life goals...

prague, czech republic: dream city for half a lifetime

and

orebro(& stockholm), sweden: to visit lifetime friend Charlotte.

overwhelmed with excitiment! oh how slow this rest of the quarter is going to feel till SPRING BREAK!

love and castles. :)

hail to the stars

last night I saw orion, cassiopeia, and the big dipper all on the same sky plain, a rare observed occasion in a city of neon and chrome. magnificant!

at the end of the day in the beginning of a decade

new years resolutions:

1.) drink water every morning after waking up

2.) read all the cauldecott award books

3.) memorize "the crossing of the bar" by tennyson

4.) and of course: make more time for jesus

5.) use complete sentences in my journal

6.) blog more? :D

I learned today that first by declaring making resolutions and by declaring them makes them ten times more likely that we might keep it. we'll see.
