music video...thursday... sun & moon/above & beyond

i was so busy monday 


that i never posted a music video.


whoops.


but!


today is my dad's birthday

and this video reminds me of him

because he showed it to me.

and it's pretty powerful.



uhmmm...happy birthday.


love, liz.

solitude and deluge.

today is one of those days


that i wish it was 


raining








so that i could hear its cadence on the windows,


watch its ripples on the pavement,






whilst curled up under a blanket 








in my warm house
















as i listen 




to sad music.

lots of sighs.

. . .

i have got to stop wearing my heart on my sleeve.

hearts.

"love anything 

and your heart will be wrung and possibly 

broken.

if you want to make sure of keeping it intact 

you must give it to no one, 

not even an animal.

wrap it carefully round 


with hobbies and little luxuries; 

avoid all entanglements. 

lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness.

but in that casket--


safe, 
dark, 
motionless, 
airless--

it will change. 

it will not be broken; 






it will become 




unbreakable,
impenetrable, 










irredeemable. 

to love is to be vulnerable."

日本への愛.

i spent three months of my life living and teaching in japan.

they were the shortest three months of my life.

but they were also the best three months of my life.

please...

do whatever you possibly can to help that beautiful country in their tremendous time of need.

donate... 

volunteer...

pray...

ANYTHING.

help the sun rise again

upon the land of the rising sun.

日本さん,


my prayers are with you.
