San Rafael, I’m so lucky to call you home.😍

☀️Summer has me like 😍

Slow and sunny Saturday morning. ☕️📚💐

Happy Hour in style. 🍾🌺

Pretty light on where I live my downtown life.

Summer perfection. 😍🍓

O, to take what we love inside, to carry within us an orchard, to eat not only the skin, but the shade, not only the sugar, but the days, to hold the fruit in our hands, adore it, then bite into the round jubilance of peach. There are days we live as if death were nowhere in the background; from joy to joy to joy, from wing to wing, from blossom to blossom to impossible blossom, to sweet impossible blossom. Li-Young Lee, “From Blossoms” from Rose.

There are worse places to wait.

20 years ago I stood in front of this very painting, while it was at it’s home in Minneapolis, and vowed that someday I was going to live in a cool city and see cool art with my museum membership—whenever I wanted, because I would be an adult. 💃🏼 Yesterday, I stood in front of it again, while it’s visiting San Fransisco as part of the Magritte exhibit, SFMOMA membership card in my pocket. Rounding the corner and seeing that landmark painting was a cool moment. Sometimes you don’t end up where you thought you would; sometimes you get “surreal” reminders that where you are was always part of the plan.
