Feet April Breathe
My life is routine. i wake up early in the morning. i brush my teeth. i sit on the floor of the cell i do not go to breakfast. i stare at a gray cement wall. i keep my legs crossed my back straight my eyes forward. i take deep breaths in and out, in and out, and i try not to move. i sit for as long as i can i sit until everything hurts i sit until everything stops hurting i sit until i lose myself in the gray wall i sit until my mind becomes as blank as the gray wall. i sit and i stare and i breathe. i sit and i stare. i breathe.

Equity is a roguish thing. for law we have a measure, know what to trust to; equity is according to the conscience of him that is chancellor, and as that is larger or narrower, so is equity. 't is all one as if they should make the standard for the measure we call a "foot" a chancellor's foot; what an uncertain measure would this be! one chancellor has a long foot, another a short foot, a third an indifferent foot. 't is the same thing in the chancellor's conscience.

When you sit in a café, with a lot of music in the background and a lot of projects in your head, you're not really drinking your coffee or your tea. you're drinking your projects, you're drinking your worries. you are not real, and the coffee is not real either. your coffee can only reveal itself to you as a reality when you go back to your self and produce your true presence, freeing yourself from the past, the future, and from your worries. when you are real, the tea also becomes real and the encounter between you and the tea is real. this is genuine tea drinking.

A lot of women don't like when they're sort of fat, but a fat foot is as beautiful as a skinny foot. think of greek statues. look how many people love the foot of the baby! there is something super-charming about the baby foot.

The gods envy us. they envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment may be our last. everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. you will never be lovelier than you are now. we will never be here again.

How dare you refer to my beautiful children as 'synthetic'. and shame on you for wagging your judgemental little fingers at ivf - a miracle that has allowed legions of loving people, both straight and gay, to fulfill their dream of having children, your archaic thinking is out of step with the times, just like your fashions. i shall never wear dolce and gabbana ever again.
Beautiful Dream Fashion
People associate me with a time when movies were pleasant, when women wore pretty dresses in films and you heard beautiful music. i always love it when people write me and and say 'i was having a rotten time, and i walked into a cinema and saw one of your movies, and it made such a difference.'
