oh yes, real life. 

eye contact. holy hot pizza. spontaneous dancing and leopard print wheelchair rides. back massages and animated gesturing. geek talk. pears, limes and coconut bliss. stories of travels and transitions. beginnings and endings. passions and brainstorms. hearts open, guards down. warm and infused with flavor, in a home i've been lucky enough to live in, belonging to two of the most brave and creative people i know. 

i love the casual, grainy and blurred way a phone camera captures moments in time. like an old newspaper. and like how the world looks through the filter of a nice glass of red.

online is great. really great. mind-blowing with the potential for connection and beauty.

real life is even better.
