“The weather was growing ever warmer and the earth more resplendent, it was covered with a thick, blossoming carpet of meadows, the fields and pastures were steaming, the forests offered an enchanting sight with their beautiful, fresh, rich green. All of nature was presenting itself, expansive, stretching, curving, rearing up, whizzing and rustling and buzzing, fragrant and motionless as a bright beautiful dream. The land had become perfectly fat, lush, opaque and glutted. It was lolling, as it were, in voluptuous surfeit. It was green and dark brown and flecked with black, white, yellow and red, blossoming with hot breath, almost perishing beneath its profusions of blossoms. It lay there like a luxuriating, veiled woman, immobile, shifting her limbs, perfumed with scents.”

The Tanners by Robert Walser

First I want to say to everyone who left comments on my last dramatic rant post-I love you. You guys help immensely when I am feeling like burnt, crumbly toast. Second I want to say I am going to be taking a little bit of a hiatus. Most likely just until the semester ends. I'm just a wee bit stressed with school and work at the moment. I'm also starting therapy and really taking some time to delve into my issues. I just turned 20 this weekend and I am not willing to spend one more day of my life not believing in or loving myself. I'm ready to heal and move forward on a positive path. I just need to take some time to figure myself out. I want to keep my blog a creative, positive place and lately I feel it's been plagued by my rainy day moods. This summer I am taking a photography class and I will have time for bike rides and fresh fruit and be in a better place to share something worthwhile with you guys. Thank you for being so supportive and caring. I will be back and ready to rumble...er blog.

You are all golden. Never forget that.
