I'm very interested - indie films and filmaking, fashion and kitties, vintage motorcycles and lambretta scooters, music making and the poetry that flows from that process.

filmakers, producers, film festivals, fashion designers, musicians.... people who are making and doing and creating and inspiring.
Music:
The click of fire, love sighs, trains, embrace, motor.

"Everything has appearance and essence, shell and kernel, mask and truth. What does it say against the inward determination of things that we finger the shell without reaching the kernel, that we live with appearance instead of perceiving the essence, that the mask of things so blinds us that we cannot find the truth?"
Hal Hartly
"all pain is desire."
e.e. Cummings
i will wade out
till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun into my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
Alive
with closed eyes
to dash against the darkness
in the sleeping curves of my body
Shall enter fingers of smooth mastery
with chasteness of sea-girls
Will I complete the mystery
of my flesh
I will rise
After a thousand years
lipping
flowers
And set my teeth in the silver of the moon

"those who know don't talk. those who talk don't know. Close your mouth, block off your senses, blunt your sharpness, untie your knots, soften your glare, settle your dust. This is the primal identity."
Quentin Crisp
"neither look forward where there is doubt nor backwards where there is regret"
