An extra six inches…
"An extra six inches and free drinks for one year" she answered. I replied, "Well, who wouldn't want that!" ~Just L (September 18, 2018) Author's Note: I love a good double entendre and the perks of becoming a first class frequent flier.
Inspiring Art
She appeared in the doorway as if the wind had blown her onto my blank canvas all at once in full color. Soaked from rain's song. Shaking her head and laughing wildly. She was unaware of her crackling impact on the still inside air. Surprisingly refreshing like a summer storm. Embracing Nature. Inspiring art. ~Just … Continue reading Inspiring Art
Reflection
When we look out on the world; We see what is inside of us. I see beauty; Largely kindness; So much love; And mindfulness. Not jealousy: Rarely sadness; Never bitter; All gratefulness. ~Just L (February 22, 2017) #mexicolife
I am Not a Tourist Destination
Please don't arrive as a tourist; I'm not interested in a day use pass. No overnight camping allowed; I don't care to be tomorrow's trash.

He showed me the handwritten number (I recognized it as a Bay Area phone number) written … Continue reading Love Has No Ethnicity
But, we didn’t get to wake up to the end of the story…

For those who say, but you weren't at the concert (dismissing thousands of people's terrifying experience), "Yes, but we didn't get to wake up to the end of the story..." Here's my short … Continue reading But, we didn’t get to wake up to the end of the story…
Alliteral Life of Loveliness
All the world is our wild playground A love song in every little sound Embracing shades of gray Awash in sunshine everyday Anywhere we wander is not wrong Co-crafting our narrative in song An adventure need make no sense Creating a life on three continents Behold an extraordinary belonging Lovely is the sweetness of our … Continue reading Alliteral Life of Loveliness
World At Her Feet
She had traveled the world many times over. And in that one moment she realized he brought the entire world to her. ~Just L (February 27, 2017)
