When I’m hungry, when I’m curious, when I’m excited, when I’m chasing the world down and laughing at how many amazing things there are to enjoy in life — great music, great sex, great books, great food, dogs with great personalities, friends who make you laugh your ass off — that’s when I’m open to everything that comes my way.

We are a landscape of all we have seen.

—Isamu Noguchi

I don’t know what they are called, the spaces between seconds – but I think of you always in those intervals.
