The best day of your life..

“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.”

― Bob Moawad

This band

I had not done this in a long time and last Sunday we went back to Topo Gigio (it used to be Fratellis).  It is always such a great afternoon of music and mojito induced joy. The Rocketeers are a wonderful band and they do covers that are sure to bring memories tumbling down. The next time you have a free Sunday afternoon in Johannesburg, go to Greenside.

Happiness

“… happiness is not only a hope, but also in some strange manner a memory … we are all kings in exile.”

Art and the artist

This picture reminded me of the magical relationship between an Artist and the audience. The ability by a photographer to lure you, paint a picture and in a split second -but a moment that is framed into forever- to say so much about the subject. I don’t know Anthony much but here we had a great conversation. I truly Love every kind of artist, you fill my days with beauty.

Long live the artist.

About Love

“Lately I’ve been thinking about who I want to love, and how I want to love, and why I want to love the way I want to love, and what I need to learn to love that way, and who I need to become to become the kind of love I want to be…….and when I break it all down, when I whittle it into a single breath, it essentially comes out like this: Before I die, I want to be somebody’s favorite hiding place, the place they can put everything they know they need to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I will keep it safe.”
