The Earth Laughs in Flowers!

I read a lot of poetry tonight and got pretty inspired.
Who knows if I'll ever be able to decipher my notes. Oh well!

Snow is really really white.

Wash me white as snow...

...And I will be made whole.

Listening to this song on repeat today...

It reminds me of when I took these pictures. 

Bavarian Alps in Germany. March 2008.

I had never seen that much snow. Snow is the most beautiful, most pure thing. 

That is why this song astounds me. 

Weird is good...Right?

Time to Start Saving.

My plan is to save up a mountain of frequent flyer miles and use them to take me to Iceland. Why Iceland, you ask?

1. Do I need to explain this? GLACIERS!!!

Reason 2. This is breathtaking and looks fun. 

3. These guys MIGHT have something to do with it.

4. Yeah this guy DEFINITELY has something to do with it.

5. NORDIC SWEATERS

6 One worry I have is that if I go to Iceland and buy a Nordic sweater, I might end up looking like this family...typical Americans, trying so hard to fit into foreign cultures. Let's hope this doesn't happen to me.

I love the sky.

"The spectacle of the sky overwhelms me. I'm overwhelmed when I see, in an immense sky, the crescent of the moon, or the sun. There, in my pictures, tiny forms in huge empty spaces. Empty spaces, empty horizons, empty plains - everything which is bare has always greatly impressed me." - Joan Miró, 1958.
