feeling quite dusty.
need a magic feather duster.
not to uncover a path for my creatively led life. more the how to navigate the enabling of one.
for the rest of my life.
Is this poetry?

would love to be back at LAX heading to Europe continuing the adventure to places I’ve not yet explored and meeting people I’ve not yet met.

Update… ended up at muji London having to purchase an additional (carry on size) luggage. No room for my sorrels they were left in Chelsea.

rest in peace David Lynch
your voice delivering the weather report on kcrw and the voice of lou doillion were my saving grace (during covid) starting my mornings with a smile and a feeling of warm connection to look forward to. i will never forget.

sitting here listening to Novena carmel on kcrw playing (in tribute) your favorite songs… she cues up Lulu singing To Sir with Love. funny how our minds work. right then years of buried memory triggered having lunch with neighborhood friend Nigel Grainge (many years now passed away) at the orignal coummunity icon Rose Cafe with his long time friend Lulu who was in town. their banter and recall of music industry friends and experiences was surreal to me.

memory went on to missing sundays spent with Nigel and Christian P. at farmers market then takeaway dinners at Nigels watching British detective shows. Full circle back to Rose Cafe.

wearing N95 masks due to the now occassional flakes of ash, desperately needing to walk (but not too far away from Go bags waiting at my front door), friend and neighbor Olivia and i did a spin around our Venice adjacent Santa Monica neighborhood. i heard rumors of The Rose closing.

there next to the closed entry door a posted notice dated 12.15.24
“The Rose Venice” permently closed.

Another LA icon gone.

Santa Ana winds, fire watch, fear of mandatory evacuation (one foot in and out the door). Go Bag, ongoing stress and devastation, interrupted sleep, the air we breathe, falling ash, invisible toxins, drinkable Water? N95. Watch Duty notifications, helicopter sounds, emergency sirens, searching for signs of hot spots on the hills beyond. far, not far enough, close. evacuation warning, escape plan. craving normalcy, relief, community, friendship, long hugs. we met for lunch.

so grateful. love these women and our city/community of los angeles.

yesterday was the last day of 2024 and the day of my birth in Honolulu all those many years ago.

always good to see . We met during my 2020 October break between covid variant trip to London. .spencer and I were lusting over the commes des garçon collection. I was carrying my new wabi sabi leather basket. Stelios came up to me asking for the name of the designer of my bag. Long story short… 2 days later having coffee at dsm he purchased one of the two brown leather baskets I had made.. This is our 3rd meet up in 4 years. We’ve made fun plans for the next visit. 🦋
