Admiration

...

If only we could live each day performing at least one good deed for someone else

...

What a day what a day...

Decided to walk 10 miles for no reason...

Well I didn't really decide it. I had places to go and I figured

why not walk?

and so I kept going

and going

still going

1.5 in the morning

3 in the afternoon

5.5 in the evening

Only in New York... 

Never again...

Work was interesting. Everyday is something new. Started off searching for textiles to be presented to Mr. Ralph next week (too bad I won't be at that meeting... o well, someday...); sketch review meeting with design and merchandising team; creating trim boards....

Everyday is a new adventure as I navigate through this brand new world of knits and sweaters. Who would have thought of the endless possibilities that exists outside this bubble of woven fabrics that school keeps us in

enough of all that

basically,

I am ever-so-in-love with Ralph Lauren as a company 

and

 totally in awe of Ralph Lauren as a man

Next:

Bible study today was pretty good. Talked about church and all the judgements that get passed. Christians judging other Christians in church ("why is she here? I heard what she did last weekend"); others judging Christians ("they are all hypocrites. out partying every weekend and in church every Sunday"); others feeling they are being judged ("she goes to church every week, I better not say certain things around her or act certain ways cuz she might judge me"). That was a section of today's discussion in a nutshell.

My take:

If you are going to Church/Bible studies/prayer groups/whatever you are doing, the point is aiming for self improvement 

and thats what matters.

 However way you decide to do it. Everyone has their own struggle and their own story. So if person A is struggling with anger and is constantly fighting and what not, but goes to church every Sunday, at least an effort is being made...

Its just too bad that the Church plays a huge role in keeping people away when it should be always welcoming, always free of judgement and always a safe place

Thats all I'm saying about that. I just don't believe in judging people

ever

I do like this photoshoot called Faith shot by Camilla Akrans:

Very peaceful. 

Love that it is done in this torn down structure.

 Love the rawness or the stones, the sticks, the weeds, the dirt

and the sweet calm of the model

a total peaceful state

a sweet escape

Next:

Two poem-like things that come to my head during one of my long walks

To the One Who Has it All

He has everything

She has nothing

He's not happy

All she wants is his happiness

Admiration

Started off as a curiosity

Then

A slight crush

very slight

Back to a curiosity

and now

I think you are just p-e-r-f-e-c-t

I'm sure you have flaws but I know you work at them

...

If only we could live each day being good to each other
