A place on the "outskirts of civilization."  It is imperfect, transitory and incomplete.  

It's a place for celebrating the opening up of the secret joys concealed in the passing moments of everyday life.  It encourages curiousity about what is hidden, subtle and almost invisible at first glance.  It includes lists, musings about the ordinary, poetry, reflections on my favorite David Byrne songs, recipes for living and more.  

And, now, a little something for you to take with you when you go.

Suggestions for living gracefully with a beehive in your heart:

•Face the wall creatively.

•Be daring.

•Realize that you are not helpless because there are possibilities.

•Acquire a taste for suspense.

•Step outside your comfort zone.

•Become intrigued by the unknown.

Let it repel and attract you.

Let it light you up or scare you.

But let it wake you up.
