Junior Boy

Watch the sun come up

Go on and leave

Coffee is all you mean to me

anyway

And I have that.

Mornings alone smile my insides

And give me rest.

Peaceful rest.

Sway to the song

Remember the music

That brought me to you.

The Lord is my keeper

I shall want and want and want.

When first things are first

"When I have learnt to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now. In so far as I learn to love my earthly dearest at the expense of God and instead of God, I shall be moving towards the state in which I shall not love my earthly dearest at all. When first things are put first, second things are not suppressed but increased."

-C.S. Lewis

My parents had this quote on their wedding invitations. I think it is true.

Mmm

"After all everybody, that is, everybody who writes," said Gertrude Stein, "is interested in living inside themselves in order to tell what is inside themselves. That is why writers have to have two countries, the one where they belong and the one in which they live really. The second one is romantic; it is separate from themselves, it is not real but it is really there."

- G. A. Harrison, "Gertrude Stein's America"

You make me feel five...and it's the best feeling.

You make me feel five

Blonde sunshine hands in the air

Yellow flowers fanning love

Where's that dirt?

Anything you want, you got it.

Anything you need, you got it.

Anything at all, you got it.

- Karyn Guenther and Roy Orbison

Still alive

I'm falling in love with Bon Iver. He's my new music crush. That and Lenka. Some good artists if you would like to check out.

You may wonder where I have been for so long. You may not.

I've been working on a new show, which is completely opposite of the last one. I'm an asian god in The Good Woman of Setzuan by Bertolt Brecht. I am learning heaps simply by exploring. It's been a good experience so far. Dates will follow.

I've also been seeing some good theatre. Last night I went to see The Constant Wife at the Stanley Theatre on Granville. If you see any theatre this month, see that show. I was delighted and charmed, I could not stop smiling. I would even go again.

Holy Mo opens at Pacific Theatre this week, Feb. 6. Make sure you get out to see that show.
