I am a frayed and nibbled survivor in a fallen world, and I am getting along.
I am aging and eaten and have done my share of eating too.
I am not washed and beautiful, in control of a shining world in which everything fits, but instead am wondering awed about on a splintered wreck I’ve come to care for, whose gnawed trees breathe a delicate air, whose bloodied and scarred creatures are my dearest companions, and whose beauty bats and shines not in its imperfections but overwhelmingly in spite of them…
― Annie Dillard

Eye, unicorn, bird in a cage, butterflies.

I, unicorn.

Each act of creation shall leave you humble,
for it is never as great as your dream and always
inferior to that most marvelous dream of God
which is Nature.
Gabriela Mistral, Decalogue of the Artist

Much of your pain is self-chosen.
It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Gibran

Every intentional act is a Magical act.

I saw a butterfly—there can be more to life.

In a sense, you are the star. Look at your hand - do you claim it as your own? Every element was forged in temperatures a million times hotter than molten rock, each atom fashioned in the blazing heat of the star. Your eyes, your brain, your bones, all of you is composed of the star’s creations.
Brian Swimme

A billion stars go spinning through the night,
blazing high above your head.
But in you is the presence that will be,
when the stars are dead.
Rainer Maria Rilke

I don’t know what it is yet (: well, bits of butterflies and gossamer fabric and lace and petals…

I’ve downloaded my scanner’s driver already but accidentally knocked the power cord of the device! And the scanner is big and heavy, I’m too lazy right now to go crawl behind the table and look for that wire… :P So, this badly lit photo will do for now.

A drawing finally! :)) Here’s a photobooth shot because I haven’t set up the scanner driver yet on this laptop (mine crashed few weeks back so I’m using my dad’s laptop for now).
