I love this.
Her view on art....

In the film THE DOORS Oliver Stone captured Jim’s spiritual intercourse with the universe quite accurately – I have known those moments – Jim compared his art to being a shaman in ritual – a mortal touching the immortal – indeed, absolutely.

But I have them without the aid of drugs or alcohol – I refuse to take the easy way –otherwise it’s the booze or drug taking me there – not the ART.

It takes more discipline – more dedication – more time & effort – but it’s well worth it ….. I live for those moments. Truly.

My Beloved Henry Rollins

"Somewhere someone is thinking of you. Someone is calling you an angel. This person is using celestial colors to paint your image. Someone is making you into a vision so beautiful that it can only live in the mind. Someone is thinking of the way your breath escapes your lips when you are touched. How your eyes close and your jaw tightens with concentration as you give pleasure a home. These thoughts are saving a life somewhere right now. In some airless apartment on a dark, urine stained, whore lined street, someone is calling out to you silently and you are answering without even being there. So crystalline. So pure. Such life saving power when you smile. You will never know how you have cauterized my wounds. So sad that we will never touch. How it hurts me to know that I will never be able to give you everything I have."
