Watching sympathy and celebration unfold in pictures and stories, in nods of acknowledgement and words of support. It’s mostly love. All of it really. Cousins I don’t know. Nephews and nieces. Far flung family. All all all our friends that my parents have welcomed into our home. Family.
This was a message when my Uncle Dam passed away. I am listening to it now.
A single happening can blow out the bottom of the world. It’s been a glorious Christmas week. This morning we took pictures of the family; huddled together; chained our hands…my brothers and sisters and parents and me, “The Oyzon Family Circle”.The drive from my parents’ place to home is about eight hours. We took long mundane stops. Elaine called as we were pulling into the driveway. “Has Elice called you? …
That’s what happens when you binge on books and then run on four hours of sleep. Close the door to the office to dampen the sounds of passersby. Roll my sweater into a ball and use my coat as a blanket. I press the small of my back into the concrete floor. It’s cold. Light headed. Imagining myself a plant. The world is a cracked fading photograph. Fissures in the world …

– Pride and Prejudice by sprspr on DeviantArt The not-getting not quite unrequited is a sweet state. Jane Austen. Because it works out in the end despite all the tiny drama and miscommunications. Sucker for that stuff. I have someone now. Part of me still fights it — this different than the arrogant, distant, oh-so-ready to leave and I’m-not-really-here type that have been my script. Mr. Darcy was only icy …
Carved out a bubble of alone in a quiet corner of the house. Washing machine and a whir of air. Aware of the clicks of fingers on keys. They do that on purpose, you know? So you know you’re doing something. Tomorrow is a work day. Getting gear together for animation for a student, and design gear for me. Really mostly hanging out while Aidan attends college open house. Wrapping …
Photography is not like painting. There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture.
