Michelangelo's David

We were walking through the V&A last week, and Charlotte mentions that there is this Cast Court you really cannot miss of Medieval and Renaissance artwork.
She was right.
My lack of time in Europe (relatively) has also shortened the amount of exposure I have had with sculpture, particularly big, valuable, 500 year old sculpture.
They were remodeling the Italian Renaissance Cast Court and using it to restore pieces for the new Medieval and Renaissance wing, so we turned to walk into the one with the amazing Trajan column standing in the middle. We can look at the Renaissance court via the third floor (the ceilings run that high), but the big wooden planks blocking the view from the first floor disenchanted us with the idea of peering in.
But one sculpture from the Renaissance court looked over the vicious blockade preventing entry to this mystery court; and made me stand frozen in place. He's looking straight at me; as if I'm the Goliath he's considering defeating. I am defeated. Michelangelo's David, object of analysis and spectacle for centuries... I never realized he was so, well, big. His intense imposing stare seems to personify the insignificance that my art, my love of art, and my existence possess in comparison to regal masterpieces of this calibre.
I had to look away to keep from feeling emotional; I have chills running down my arms, in a frenzy I try to focus on something else to forget the majesty I have just not bowed down to. And it was only a cast of the original, a portrait of a king, a souvenir brought to England for people to admire. My idolatry runs deeper than I thought.

Princess?


So Lukas taught me how to be a princess, and apparently I can't take any princes unless they give me flowers, or chocolate. And I need a unicorn.
I think I might develop a princess character... with a goofy unicorn.

Too many carrots

where the ripple grows



dancing but you're standing still
figuring what out
where the droplet came from
came from where the droplets come
crafted
where the droplet made a spot
where the ripple grows
random
simple, now how things seem
then before then now
expand
where the ripples end

Falling


Why is satisfaction so fleeting?
Pain sinks in
Reminds you that you're breathing
We drown to feel alive

Insecurity is secure
Instability is stable
You know what you feel
when you're falling down.

Good is like water
how do you describe its essence
without the thirst, the desert?

Now I have to linger
back in this unstable
cradle the remembrance
that worth living for.

dreams

good dream, bad dream



assignment on the effect of how you read dreams on the rest of your life
Independence is such a fickle endeavour.

Before you know, you're sucked into a connection
That caring, feeling, worrying link

You're not like this, I say!
You were sitting on a throne of self-absorption yesterday!

But that's the thing about dependence
You really want it after all
