wastewater treatment plant tour
Very informational and a ‘shit-ton’ of fun.
The most beautiful place I’ve seen in a while ~ below (I really wanted to create another “Urban Beach Scene” here). Under the grates on the floor are systems that clean oils and top-floaters from the water. We got a sneak peek!
Another aspect of the tour that thoroughly intrigued me (a uniform installation!):

seasonal hardship
dried up stream bed
once positively captivating
now, barely scrapes by
rock bed runs
neither hot nor cold
negative space remaining
blindly contours the distance

Color is back in my life…
So why do I want to cry?
June 1, 2010:
I know, I know, how cliche of me to wear a striped sweater with non-matching striped socks but I wanted to celebrate the color back in my life and on June 2nd, I wanted to cry. And If I’m being totally honest, I did bust a tear or two. I cried because I missed grey.
My regular wardrobe is so lackluster compared to my grey wardrobe where every. single. piece. is art. When in grey, every day is living art. No matter how frumpy I am in grey, I’m frumpy living art and that, my friend, is cooler than being frumpy outside of your own intention. Every day in grey provides me with a sense of accomplishment and a sense of being. I am creating something that accumulates/grows slowly and I have to tend to it daily. I imagine it’d be similar to having a garden, if I had a green thumb.
I can’t wait until next year.

My final day in this 4th year of Monochromatic May was grey in the a.m. but the sun has recently come out! I just spent some time getting my regular, colorful wardrobe out of my shed and put everything back into it’s place. Most of Monochromatic May is now packed away… except for the items in the laundry basket and on my person. I will sleep in the piece tonight then change into some colorful clothes tomorrow morning for work. Fun.
