The Possibilities are Endless

15

I think I found my film of the year. One of the best I've seen in years, such a masterpiece. Please go and see it and remember how much you can love! It's not sentimental at all, executed in the most wonderful way and whether you know Edwyns music or like it or not the film stands alone as pure art. I think anyone interested...

Leave the familiar for a while.
Let your senses and bodies stretch out
Like a welcomed season
Onto the meadows and shores and hills.
Open up to the Roof.
Make a new water-mark on your excitement
And love.
Like a blooming night flower,
Bestow your vital fragrance of happiness
And giving
Upon our intimate assembly.
Change rooms in your mind for a day.
All the...

Thank you for all the nice comments on this Island set that @gossip shot for me in Portugal this summer. I took a mad notion just before my 30th birthday, after not shooting anything for a couple of years so quite nice that it wasn't a total flop, though that would have been quite funny too and the nice thing is I don't think I

Annalee, you're amazing. I've been away from SG for a number of years and so glad to see you are still active. You're more beautiful now than ever.

What is your favourite Sonnet?

25

Shakespeare's Sonnet 146. I read this one for the first time today. I always liked 104 too, although don't think that 3 winters passing is very long. Let's see if we feel the same after 50 winters. A very nice, very interesting man who grows fruit trees and practices at the yoga studio I work at (the restful job compared to the hospital work (which...

I'm not sure why, but this sonnet reminds me of a passage from The Epic of Gilgamesh.  Have you read it?  
estrada:
I am woefully under educated on sonnets and poetry in general. And, it is wonderful to know you exist.

Poetry

It requires great love of it deeply to read
The configuration of a land,
Gradually grow conscious of fine shadings,
Of great meanings in slight symbols,
Hear at last the great voice that speaks softly,
See the swell and fall upon the flank
Of a statue carved out in a whole country’s marble,
Be like Spring, like a hand in a window
Moving New and...

Sad day for Scotland

35

Gutted with the result. Scotland, the only country in the world that doesn't want its independence?? Well 1.6 million of us did want it. Fear, greed, conservatism, big business, delusion and media manipulation got most of the rest. I think people are seriously going to regret this decision. What an opportunity we had. Westminster are already backtracking on the last minute panic promises they made....

@annalee I think it's all been sort of downhill since "New Labour". I think the one good thing about the whole referendum mess is that people my sister's age, 17, are now more interested in politics than I was at that age, and they're the ones who'll hopefully  not be daunted and keep pushing for change. They're pretty a pretty ballsy generation. I was a bit more. . . introspective. So, I think it'll happen, eventually. That and all the old Tories who voted "no" have to die off eventually. . . right?

At 0510 EST in the U.S. the count was 45% yes --55% no. Sad to hear the unionist took it. Hope that you can tholl through the status quo.

Quiet green places

93

When I'm in quiet, green places everything feels... just as it should. When I'm in the city, working in the hospital, watching the news, listening to the cars, the people arguing and criticising each other, all this suffering... then I'm not sure. But to get to the green, quiet places I have to do those other things too. I wonder how I would feel if

I feel the same exact way, even more that I work in a hospital as a nurse as well. The hustle and high tempers of my environment makes me feel like a different person. Some i don't know. I get home or go on a journey outside and I feel like I have found myself again. 

No need to feel guilty about your pleasures

It seems like you guys proved me wrong in my last journal, which is always nice! Maybe these new digital formats and structures just make it easier and more acceptable for us to be lazy and it's our responsibility to keep making the effort if we want to communicate with each other in fruitful ways. As in don't give in to things? Don't become a

I don't think anyone reads journals here anymore which makes me unmotivated to write anything proper. I have realised that I hardly read or reply to anything either, it's feels to me like the design has shut everyone off from each other. The format feels unusable for most things I used to use it for. Because the site is very similar to instagram now, people...

I really agree with you on the design layout...i ended my membership right when that happened then somehow recently found myself back here to give the site a chance again. Not only is it difficult to navigate  but i miss certain things about the past format...such as being able to make status updates and announcements on here for example. And yes it does feel very instagram like, it's a shame really because there are plenty of members that preferred the older layout to the new one and have voiced that, but most likely it'll stay this way. I believe it was an sg that designed it which perhaps is one of the reasons they won't go backwards, granted she put a lot of time into it but yup who knows. You look lovely playing that harp.
m0nky:
@annalee I was none too happy with the new format and - still - don't really like it. For one, I can no longer find your Amazon wishlist link. For two, I can't go back and find where your blog was about the prints that were for sale (want MOAR). Asthetically, it seems nice but for someone "from the internet", as the phrase goes, functionality and less clicks to do what I want has driven me to use this site only twice in the last two years. #firstworldproblems #iagreewithyouinregardstoreverting #yourestillawesome #howmanyhashtagscanbeusedbeforeitgetsannoying?

Plants and animals

“Bodily delight is a sensory experience, not any different from pure looking or the pure feeling with which a beautiful fruit fills the tongue; it is a great, an infinite learning that is given to us, a knowledge of the world, the fullness and the splendor of all knowledge...the individual...can remember that all beauty in animals and plants is a silent, enduring form of love...
