We Wanted to Find America

We wanted to find America through the gaps of snow that felt like last
century's angels-

Where in the World?

I'm debating where to set sail. I'm in the lust for an adventure and Paris keeps creeping into my thoughts. I'm open to suggestions, get back to me with your thoughts.

Winter and The Glamourai

It started snowing around three pm yesterday. At first just flurries and few and far between at that. By six pm, I walked outside into the snow fog. It didn't matter in which direction you were heading, the snow fell against your checks, in your lashes, drinking snow. It's Chicago's January reminder. Winter's here, saddle up. I loved these photos of the glamourai. It's like a 1950's pin-up calender shoot for January. Just painted my nails black and looking forward to learning how to knit. T is in India and I'm assuming it's warm- I know that glam girl is certainly enjoying the sunshine.

Thekkady

After three hours of class, we're off on an eight hour adventure where we'll finally end up in Thekkady. Along the way, we'll get to see a cashew and tea factory, which should be very interesting. The tea and coffee here are incredible. I think it's safe to say that India altogether is very interesting. I do miss American food but thankfully our professor took us to get Pizza after a long day of shopping. I'm always grateful for surprises.

Nike Dunks?!

Although I would never purchase these kicks, this counter-intuitive Nike/heel combo remains, in my opinion, KIND of cool.

Carbs...

It has officially been a week since I have been in Kerala, India and it has been quite the experience. It has consisted of some serious travel time to remote destinations, class, elephants on the side of the street, great curry, incredibly nice people and company visits. As much as I love it here, I'm so also looking forward to the people and food back home.

Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Sonnet XXV

Before I loved you, love, nothing was my own:

I wavered through the streets, among
Objects:
Nothing mattered or had a name:
The world was made of air, which waited.

I knew rooms full of ashes,
Tunnels where the moon lived,
Rough warehouses that growled 'get lost',
Questions that insisted in the sand.

Everything was empty, dead, mute,
Fallen abandoned, and decayed:
Inconceivably alien, it all

Belonged to someone else - to no one:
Till your beauty and your poverty
Filled the autumn plentiful with gifts.

Little Gidding

For last year's words belong to last year's language

And next year's words await another voice.

And to make an end is to make a beginning.

The Eve

New Year's Eve feels like a twisted Valentine's Day but better. New Year's Eve is more faithful to your thoughts and emotions- you want to be tangled up with your one love or want to be out being fabulous with everyone you know. Either way at least it's pretty dead on to what you actually want to be doing. Me? I'm tangled. Making dinner and having a late Christmas with my beau. But before then, I'll be having a glass of champagne with a few best Chicago girlfriends. Cheers Chicago, Colorado, Lawrence, KS, India. xx.
