mixed media monday - to my dear girl

"to my dear girlwith best love"

and I thought of myself and I thought of you, whether or not you actually are a girl. It's all the same, I'm making this all with best love, and you are dear.

These days, when I'm not binding books or making collages, I'm writing about love, desire, oceans, memories, and moments when everything blurs together. So much more feeling in my days than I'm accustomed to. The gratitude of it all is infectious. Thankfully I still have my bad days, too, so no fear of me turning into love mush any time soon...

But, damn, I'm grateful for this person who tucked away this snap card even after all the snaps had been sewn onto garments (I love the reverse side with its slanted rows of holes - it was perfect for this corner). And I'm thankful you are here today.
