Only then does he realize what he has done to Mirabelle, how wanting a square inch of her and not all of her has damaged them both, and how he cannot justify his actions except that, well, it was life.

Some nights, alone, he thinks of her, and some nights, alone, she thinks of him. Some night these thoughts, separated by miles and time zones, occur at the same objective moment, and Ray and Mirabelle are connected without ever knowing it.

Melodies & Desires

Follow these instructions
Do exactly as I do
Lean your shoulders forward
Let your hands slide over to my side
Move your body closer
Let your heart meet mine
Love is the harmony
Desire is the key
Love is the melody
Now sing it with me

My last semester of graduate school is coming to an end (if I pass my thesis defense of course) and I am feeling the pressures of life stacking up so high and heavy I’m having trouble maintaining balance. Luckily this week I gave a tour to kindergarteners at MOCA which can never fail to be uplifting. There is something so gratifying about engaging with people in a progressive way that always fills my heart with goodness. If it weren’t for the little things I would go mad.

the Aesthetics of Allá / Hope as Innovation
In west on 04/12/2011 at 10:11 pmTEDxUSC was awesome. A few noteworthy items. There are only a few TED events each year but in 2009, the first TEDx (x=independently organized TED event) was held at none other than USC. After the launch of TEDx, there have been over 1,583 TEDx events held all over the world, which nails the point home that people believe in ideas, and ideas are worth spreading.
Today’s schedule included: 17 speakers, 3 performances, 5 short films, and one outrageous closing.
Best thing I heard: Don’t wait to react — act.
Personal favorites:
- Josh Kun (Aesthetics of Allá: Music as Social Action)
- The Tiziano Project
- Food Forward
- ProFounder
So much of today was about community involvement and the betterment of not just our society, but of international societies. People can do such amazing things. One speaker said it best: innovation happens with hope.

Today I had the privilege to view Cleveland Clinic’s multi million dollar art collection. It was so moving and overwhelming to be surrounded by over thousands of artworks. If you haven’t made a trip down don’t wait to have a reason to be in the clinic (other than to see art!). Go see some great art for free.
