love letters to the end

my wonderful, beautiful neighbors and friends (tin santos, peter dean, julia mcalee, ryan maxey) have created a new project. a short webseries called Love Letters To The End. below is episode one of the 12 part series (one for every month of this year). inspired by the possibility that it all might come to an end this year, write your anonymous love letter to the world and send it here:

Love Letters To The End
PO Box 17693
Los Angeles, CA 90017-0693

your letter could end up as part of the narrative. keep your ear tuned to the music of shawn morones and brittany weston of cigarette barbies in the background of this episode. and also, stay tuned for yours truly to show up in episode two. visit their website here to learn more.

liberation

"the theatre must be more than a factory for producing plays...it should be a living spiritual and intellectural focus, a place for social self-awareness, a vanishing point where all lines of force of the age meet, a seismograph of the times, a space, an area of freedom, an instrument of human liberation."

sive

biology meditation and keeping
out the things that give me headaches,
drinking in things that give me small
pains like a stretch in my side, a lift
in my shoulders.
painting walls the color of sunset
and gazing upward at tall trees; at their smell.
staying impulsive and happy.
growing my branches at the right moment
and keeping light on my toes.
