Venice Beach, California, USA

Open hearted
Love divided

Many say I heal their heart
Some say I've torn them apart

Free as the dove
Fish swimming in love

Open mind
feel, find

To one devoted
One to bed

Too often alone
Too painful to love one

But it is true
I love you

3:06pm. I've been inside all day writing, listening the The best of the Velvet Underground over and over again, and every few minutes looking out at the ocean. Time to go surfing. Got dinner plans with Gemini, a Rainbow-Burner sister who I shot at the gathering, and Jeffery, guy I've been wanting to hook up with and the two just happen to live together.

Here's some pics from Pavement Ends, which had a turnout of 100 or 200 peeps total, a mellow scene compared to Lightening in a Bottle a couple weeks before, but I still had a great time. Larva came with me and we had a great talk during the drive. I also met a hottie Goddess dance partner that I could pick up and throw around easily like a circus act. I danced into day light with a hoop doing flying kicks like never before. No pics of these of course. Too absorded in the moment.
