FOR GOD LIKES GIRLS

Today this is my favourite poem and E. E. Cummings my favourite poet. I love his pure, abstracted, instructive poetry. The best of the best. Love, Susie x

dive for dreams

dive for dreams

or a slogan may topple you

(trees are their roots

and wind is wind)

tust your heart

if the sea catch fire

(and live by love

though the stars walk behind

honour the past

by welcome the future

(and dance your death

away at this wedding)

never mind a world

with its villians and heroes

(for god likes girls

and tomorrow and the earth)

e. cummings

PIERRE LAROCHE – A TRUE VISIONARY

I met the makeup artist, Pierre LaRoche, on a photo shoot many years ago. He had just returned from living in New York and had settled opposite me in Edith Grove just off the Kings Road. I was in my early twenties. We became very close friends in the short time that he was alive — a truly beautiful soul. He told me the most wonderful stories about T Rex, and about creating David Bowie’s makeup for Aladdin Sane and Ziggy Stardust. He was the most humble of men. He was in my opinion the greatest, most inventive makeup artist the world had ever seen, but back then these extraordinarily talented people did not receive the same recognition and status as they would today. So let’s remember Pierre LaRoche who was a true visionary genius and the most beautiful friend!

DOES THE SNOW LOVE THE TREES?

I’m sitting at the window and watching the sun spill across the courtyard and things seem suddenly full of potential and hope and good cheer. Goodbye Winter, Sweet Spring is here as I remember the beautiful words of Lewis Carroll.

GOD WALKS THESE DARK HILLS

Here is a beautiful, stripped back version of the old Gospel standard God Walks the Dark Hills sung by singer-songwriter Iris DeMent. Both comforting and strangely haunting in its imagery, this song was suggested by Edward from Wilmington, North Carolina, USA. Thank you, Edward and thank you, Iris, for this gorgeous rendition.
