NYC!

Going to NEW YORK with one of my best friends at the end of July to see The Strivers Row, a beautiful BEAUTIFUL group of performance artists. I'm so excited. Actually, excited doesn't even sum it up. Joshua Bennett, a spoken word artist, is my favorite of the group and inspires me beyond belief. 

This one gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it:

"Hoping that I could literally steal a glance 

download it on my retinas and replay the moment our eyes first played freeze tag 

and neither one of us wanted to stop being it 

so we just kept on touching 

hoping that Father Time would give us a hall pass 

and allow us to orbit one another forever 

and speaking of orbits

did you know that there are more stars in the sky

than grains of sand on the entire planet

and that I would give you either one if you merely asked

build the night from the sky’s skin

like the rind of an orange

or ask God if I could borrow the breeze for just a moment

and blow the shoreline of every beach

into a giant hour-glass made just for us and say

this is how long I will adore the things about you that no one else even notices”
