Do You Love Life?
I was writing my endless scripture of troubles,
The Gospel According to Jude.
The Obscure.
The Patron Saint of Lost Causes.
But then I go running
And it is uncomfortable
And exhilarating at the same time.
I am so full of those two feelings
That my Troubles are lost
They are trying to keep up
And they will find me eventually,
But for now their absence leaves me with,
An Image:
I run to the top of a hill on a warm day.
The breeze is cool and the scene is wonderment.
If any Place should know, it is here.
Expectantly, I shout,
“Do you love life?”
As it dies across the wind,
I already know.
There is no answer.
Because, really, there is no longer any question.
Now, I feel.
It is beautiful, all of it, everything.
It has shared with me its unhidden secrets -
That just like this Place,
I am Life.

I've been getting messages of curiosity and panic.
"Are you alive?"
I know I went through a spurt of posting here on Flickr and on my blogs while I was unemployed, but I've been quite busy lately. What I needed during that time was art: something to keep me busy before I lost my sanity. Now I work at a clothing store full time and on my off hours (or off days) I'm interning/freelancing in video production/online editorial work.
When I'm not working I'm sleeping and when I'm not sleeping I'm assessing my life. I'm not where I want to be, but I'm content. In fact I'm genuinely happy in life right now.I'm just plotting how to get to where I want and need to be. In the mean time I'm excelling in the two jobs I do have and I'm getting involved with a non-profit community arts organization.
I apologize for the lack of photo uploads here on Flickr as well as my drop in socialization. Please don't take it personally. Due to the quick-paced adventure that is my life, financial instability, and a family death I've been trying to keep a level head. I'm in the process of emerging from my cave so I'll be back and roaring with creativity in no time. I'd really rather just observe for now.
I will be checking my messages and writing back to those I hadn't answered. Take care of yourselves. I'll see you soon,
-Lindsay
P.S. Thanks for the birthday wishes! I spent it low key despite the celebration we were going to have for JPEG, Pixel and me. You can find some photos on Facebook considering I'd rather not be known as the lady who splatters her Flickr page with this nonsense...

Cleaning up some stuff in the garden, this toad seemed to be still hibernating in 20 degrees Celsius. He or she gave me a wonderful change to make a selfportriat in a toad's eye. It's more a selfsillouette actually.
