Sun Hands

Local Natives- Sun Hands

"I want to lift my hands towards the sun." 

Jeff and I spent the weekend driving from Mississippi to Philadelphia. A trip through the mountains and along small rivers, a night on an Indian Reservation- waking to the fog of the mountains spilling down to us. Beauty exists in every aspect of this place in the mountains, I was sorry to leave it. Our trip was beautiful and unfortunately ended all too soon (if you can believe driving 19 hours can pass quickly). But I am back in Philadelphia with my friends and my boy and I look to next week when I'll fly across the ocean to see my best friend in dreary old England. My life is moving right now and I couldn't be any happier. :)

I have a little bit of an obsession with the back of this dress. I just adore it. In the mean time, procrastination has taken hold and I have yet to pack one item for my move back to Philadelphia. It just doesn't feel like reality, yet.

"I can live alone, if self-respect, and circumstances require me so to do. I need not sell my soul to buy bliss. I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give." - Charlotte Bronte

Picking up Jane Eyre again after reading it as a young teenager has brought me a new respect for the novel. I have reinterpreted, and in doing so I have gained a broader understanding, and as such am even more enamored with this brooding tale. I am excited to see the film that was recently released. It seems to have been shot beautifully. If anyone has seen it please let me know if it is as intense and beautiful as it looks!

In the mean time, I have spent the weekend lying in the sun, enjoying the warm breeze and the company of family. But I also look to next week when my boy and I once again drive through the mountains to Philadelphia. Things are moving so fast- I feel my own heartbeat trying to catch up.

Today

Today, it has been two years since we met. Two years together, with you, have made me the happiest girl in the world. You are a silly boy but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love you, I love you with my entirety. I'll see you in a week.
Your Erica

Snake Oil Cure, a lovely website featuring artists, writers, poets, and just about anything else inspirational and beautiful was nice enough to feature a few of my photographs from my Creature Fear Series. Here is a link to their website -be sure to check it out! They have a large amount of lovely artists making it the perfect website to get lost in for a few hours.  :)

"You ask particularly after my health. I suppose that I have not many months to live, but of course know nothing about it. I may say that I am enjoying existence as much as ever, and regret nothing." -Thoreau
