A Christmas Eve tradition since it's release twenty years ago. Yes. It certainly hits different this year.

Lettering often feels like a meditation to me, whether it be thoughts, quotes, or lyrics from a song playing.
And tonight feels like the start of the true New Year.
Happy Solstice to all who celebrate.

I'm so reticent to feed the machine. I'm more apt to align with my trusty Minolta or my DSLR, reaquainting myself with f-stops and apertures. The slower, lengthier process of surrendering... with a faith not unlike writing down words and sleeping with them tucked under one's pillow.

Growing up myself in a family challenged with addiction and mental illness, coming of age as a lover of film and the art of storytelling by way of movies, this one hits so very different.
From Meathead to Maestro. I am epically devastated.
My prayers go out to the Reiner family.

October and November were about poetry, a poem a day, words like a purge, remembering how to write for myself and only myself, rarely posting. December seems to be about sketching, summoning him back to me, discarding perfection, leaning into intuition.

Sometimes, it's good to step outside your comfort zone. Sometimes, it's best to remain.
This is my comfort zone as of late.

Friday night movie night in honor of Goldie Hawn's birthday. One of my all time favorites.
And Dudley Moore, in his supporting role, was just pure genius.
Beware of the dwarf...

Since the end of September, I've been writing every day, hours in the evening, defined as mine alone. This was the one, in mid-October, that stood tall. This was the fourth take, after i shrugged off my own perfectionism. It's really just how I'm feeling as of late.

After dinner and a movie, #dst had my Dad down for the count. His hearing aid is on the charger and I'm excavating, digging deep, taking it back... #4
