rainbow dreamer


Dear secret painters, hidden writers, pretend illustrators, imaginary artists everywhere!
This is your call. This is your reminder.
You love the feeling of the wood between your fingers, the colors falling onto the page.  You love the scent of the paint, smearing it onto the canvas, blending and stirring. You love the way the words ring out after you've written them, the way they send shivers up your spine.


Go out, go forth, create!
The world is filled with destruction, with hatred, with malice,
it is up to us to overcome it.
To build over it, to shut it down
by bringing the beautiful up.


Create! Today is the day.
Create something beautiful!

Disco Queen, Beauty Scene



when she woke up, she always tried to smile before anything else.


before she even opened her eyes,
or took a conscious inhalation,

she let herself be filled with happiness




so she could dance/fall/crash through her day like a shooting star

full of light and magic.
