i have been inspired by these Dave Matthews Band lyrics:

A big eyed fish,

Yeah, swimming in the sea,

Oh, how he dreamed.

He wants to be a bird,

Swooping, diving through the breeze.

One day, he caught a big blue wave,

Up onto the beach,

And now he's dead.

You see, a fish's dream,

Should stay in the sea.

 

But oh God

Under the weight of life

Things seem brighter on the other side

 

also inspired by this photo by brooke shaden, who does a dead bird better than anyone i've ever seen. <3

 

i had a whole blog post about the meaning of this song and this photo. but, it was just too many words for something that is actually very raw and still developing for me. i wish that i had more time to work on this image and the message so that i could really feel like i was articulating something that is weighing on my mind. but, this is my only shot from november 8th. and so you get something that i was maybe not quite ready to share...
