i went to atlanta to see my two cousins this past weekend. they are two very different individuals. i love them both dearly for the people they are. im lucky to be near them. maybe a move to atlanta is in store for me.

this was an opening band for my cousin allison and her punk rock band in atlanta.

it's been a while. im going to start posting images that make me feel good. it seems im nesting. im in kentucky, finishing school, gettin my chi in order. feels nice to be rooted. for once.

im learning what makes me happy on a daily basis. good: food, conversation, home space, people and music. i want to take pictures of the things that make me happy.

this was the last time i cooked. it was a green thai curry and salad combo.

the house i live in is quite comfy. soon it will be filled with wonderful people. that's my garden in the background.

i had to say goodbye to puppy harvey. he's with the best person i know, so im not so sad. but its hard to come home to a house without him. he makes my insides smile. thanks brett, for loving him like me.

this was my first real mardi gras experience. much more holistic and beautiful compared to the massive commercial version in mobile and new orleans. different strokes fer different folks, but i much more enjoyed this neighborhood grassroots version.

this is my dharma essay. i travelled with my Manange family on their pilgrimage to Bodh Ghaya...words to come while im bummin in the beach rays of thailand. awaiting a more fresh mind.

this is amma prostrating before visitng one of the Manange Lama's in Swayambu, Nepal before our pilgrimage.

this is the border gate into India from Nepal.

this is pre-dawn at the bodh ghaya stupa. millions of patrons visit to meditate where buddha was enlightened.
