when you are mean to yourself
your self makes a little army of invisible men...
they link arms and form a barrier that separates
you - from your soul.
they will guard your soul like an iron gate
and they wont let you see it anymore.
they are protecting it from you.
if you are easy on yourself,
the men will put down their shields and rest.
then you can be all of you ♥
summer music with not too many words... patchouli mixed with bergamot... then 12 books from amazon dropped through my letterbox! fringy boots and foxes... cedarwood incense & earth thoughts in clay cups... carrying a summer basket... fur and feather wolf & crow dreams where i am the mother... where they rest on my shoulders and lick from my fingers... watching a mobile made of feathers blowing in the fan... then staying up into night to play with magic.. and... ribbons... always the ribbons... twirl your hair around your fingers and suck your thumb little one.. it will be ok and besides that i am so sorry ♥

list of my summer albums in order left to right:
hammock "chasing after... the outakes"
hammock "maybe they will sing for us tomorrow"
taken by trees "east of eden"
linda perhacs "parallelograms"
hammock "chasing after shadows living w/the ghosts"
clogs "veil waltz"
volcano choir "unmap"
phosphorescent "pride"
rameses III "i could not love you more"
ps... these are all a bit post-rock bordering on ambient .. stargaze-ish or folky... good to listen to while reading or staring at curtains blowing in the wind ♥
i know its shoe-gaze.. but i like star gaze.. i think its better to look up.
ah! ps. the phosphorescent cover is the back.
the front offends my senses.
hahahaha
My love for Taken By Trees grows every time I listen to that record.
I haven't been kind to my soul lately I have to watch that army... I'll check out every one of those albums for sure!
True words on souls :)

Thanks for the visit sparkle... thought I heard your twinkly bells;) and lo, there were your sweet words! Daughter dear is May 15, I am April 12, but am always told I am a bit more Taurus than Aries... I digress, usually do. Wisconsin is my world, yes.
This post is tender. I sometimes think that warm Summer air is our sweet little fever. Time to take care, slow down, find those hidden berries next to the mint, and then eat them in a cool bath to taste them truly. There is nothing like brushing your hand over the mint and that smell lingers when you pick up a berry. Take care of you, books and cool water, clouds drift for us to watch, so rest. Blessings and light from Amy
Silly me, got caught up in sending you care and hopes of feeling well, and forgot to ask which posts have your drawings? Would love love to see your faeries! Sometime I can show you all the little darlings that are her friends. Soft thoughts this summer day for you.
Liv, daughter dear, says hi and twinkle and feel good!
Lovely post, i've just come across your blog and i think it's absolutely beautiful! The things you make are too!
Following for sure :) Take care!
