For the first time in forever I had a whole week to myself. I was gifted an amazing, huge, quirky house in Laurel Canyon, all to my alonesome. Bliss. I watered the garden naked – bringing the roses and periwinkles back to life; swept the yard with tree sap between my toes & wrote; drank tea & slept alone. Awoke alone. 2.5 days in silence (till Creamy rang from Ecuador – how could I refuse?). Catching up on Suki-time – I was renewed & refocused. Quiet days of not needing to go anywhere, or leave the house. For this itinerant alien bouncing from place to place for a year & always surrounded by loved ones, this bare-assed solitude was precious. I love big spaces, gorgeous light, windows & doors open, bare feet; and I love LA – that you can wake up to a eucalyptus sunrise less than a mile from Sunset Boulevard is delicious. Self portraits feel vain to me, but with light & space like this & no models to play with?!.. Thank you Jeni & Paul ✖
