A periodic table of the elements in my quest for beauty.
"We must ask of reality: how important is it, really? And: how important, really, is the Factual? Of course, we can’t disregard the factual; it has normative power. But it can never give us the kind of illumination, the ecstatic flash, from which Truth emerges."
- Werner Herzog

“Who’s Zoomin Who” has been on heavy rotation in my world this week...

Rest easy, Queen Aretha.
40ish hours in Michigan went by quickly. The first of my second cousins got married (making me feel thoroughly old in the process), we came together to fete the newlyweds, and now I’m back in NYC nursing my dance floor wounds.
How could I not pilfer these images, these whole moods, from @michelleogundehin’s current colour story. The torrid palette is entirely where my mind is as we contemplate my living space.

A Chinese favela, an entire cosmos in a can of paint, this superb scarlet bathroom complete with playful primates by @degournay, a dream reading nook in sublime tones of blushes and taupes with globe lamp that sits atop a pedestal like a celestial body. So many dreams in 4 frames.
How you show up at the family “function” when you’ve been spending too much time on @michelleogundehin’s feed and you’ve also got 15 minutes to get dressed because you were conducting a hotel room solo dance party in Instagram stories.

In TOME I trust
Reading Wislawa per usual this morning and this one gave me chills (more chills than usual, I should say). The effortless poignancy of her words is the reason she’s was dubbed “the Mozart of Poetry”; she was a master in the art of the unsaid and because poetry is as much what’s not said as it is what is, she was a master of her craft.

We are all at LGA with nowhere to go thanks to a clusterfuck of weather cancellations and delays so this nice lady took my photo before she gave up on making it Toronto for Carribana. I feel for her but at least I now have flat shoes (from @margauxny) to match the travel uniform so, you know, we take the good with the bad ☀️ •
Detroit bound for fam wedding (if we ever leave)
