Entries tagged as ‘its the little things’
here’s the last image i took about a week before my mom passed away for ‘it’s the little things’
and so… i’m saying basically …. i divulged these ‘its the little things’ for as long as they created a teeny escape from what i was dealing with… minimal moments. when things were really escalating, becoming more and more difficult caring for my mom, supporting her as best as could be done, the little things lost their majik . and as i sit here, directly mourning, allowing things to be things, moments to be moments and i plan to let it go as long as i can, but as i sit here, remembering, i see these little things as specs right now, soon enough support will grow. but for now , i’m going to allow myself to cry over the light switch if i feel like it, but more likely i see a slice and parts are missing…

San Francisco says Variety.
People. Architecture. Sounds. Views. Temperatures.
All the disparate specs
All piled upon each other…
I could sit here forever and just never get to the point-
AND be ok with it…
contemplating what it is that I love about this city
at this juncture of my life is like a brainstorming session,
lots of things…Popping up.
I lost some things sometime,
I knew I’d find them here.
With every trip around the city,
Not that I’d look for “things”
They are just here,
Hiding unless you see them.
i am not talking about finding
my Self here or anything
And I lose things too…
There’s not one way to describe
This motion of emotion as
There is not one person to portray it, the things,
These little things
they are just here, and there
it’s the little things that remind
me its ok to cry, while also they
help me fight back the tears.
they remind me of what has
Been, and what will be-
That it CAN be, whatever it is.
That being said, it’s the little things that can propel us through life.
I walk around as if I am in a dream.
The little things, they are everywhere in this city,
and they are all I see.

in my quiet search for a method to express my current situation , or express mySelf within my current transition
-however you want too see that.
‘its the little things’ originally sparked by my love for this city, and working through that which i missed while i was away while still being away… but in actuality ‘its the little things’ came out of the collecting of all the things that compile a life…with my mom.
after going through what ever breakdown that came, shooting my blood pressure through the roof, an issue i had been proud to say that i conquered with asana practice and diet… creating new ways of taking care of myself…. after a month or so ~ taking some time away from the family, each day hoping it wasn’t too many days away… lost in it all, days and minutes completely dissolved, all hidden away, cataloged for my future collection of my little things…
i returned to the realization that i am lucky to be given this time with my mom, just being there with her while she deals with her pain. *that silence is the most difficult silence to bear. but i wont trade it for anything except to turn back the years and get to know her better.
that being said, ite the little things.
i walk around as if in a dream and the little things are all i see…
so, somehow all of that brought me to pull bits and pieces out of my journal and place them with images- or vice versa and post them to this blog
here are the past posts

within the first few minutes of being home after over a month i took these pictures,
inside my apartment alone
(the event of “car parking” was going on).
having dropped everything to leave,
i really felt like i had forgotten everything.
i took note of all these “things”
while feeling a bit foreign at the same time.
a whole new light it was

a sprinkling of sunny days and cloudy days, rapidly changing, reminding me constantly of the little things. sEEing for the first time, noticing, the crutches, etcetera- but still unable to put them aside, willingly so.
and even with that will there is this deep down feeling that repressing is part of the root : allowing myself the time to re-arrange that word is the water. the ‘work’ is the dirt.
