It is an exercise in resilience, in patience, in trust / / / the waiting, the space between breaths. Control evaporates, your body laughs at the thought. All you can do is ask a question of the universe and hope to be answered. Photo: @turkishdelighhhht Creative: @federiconessi Hair: @mr.hiroshi.matsushita MU: @anitakeeling Jewelry: @panconesi

We lost our Baba early Saturday morning. She was 100 years old, so strong, so brave. The more I learn about her the more I realize how little I knew about her… she loved weird gadgets and was better at computers than any of us, was the main reason I started using Twitter, was an incredible golfer, was involved in five Olympics, raised four children with a husband in the Marine Corps which must have been impossibly hard. She lived through so many enormous shifts in the world and took it all in stride. I thought I was prepared for her to go for years, said my goodbyes every visit expecting them to be our last, but still, I’m devastated. These photos are from the Moon video, my favorite day with her of my life. We sat and gazed into each other’s eyes, woman to woman, holding hands as I kneeled at her feet, a flower crown in her hair, surrounded by most of the most important women in my life. She was so present, so full of unwavering, radiant love… life has not been uncomplicated in our family, but this was simple, just so dearly simple. I carry this in my heart forever. Onto the next adventure you go, my dear baba x

just found this in my backward travels through my photo library – US tour autumn 2019 wearing the most beautiful @thevampireswife dress – anyone know who took this photo? whoever you are, thank you 🙏🏻 music news coming soon x
It is almost impossible to bear. To stare into the unknown and open your hands. To meet both grief and joy with softness. Every day becomes a choice between fear and trust. Open the windows, open the doors.
I love the way she sees the world. I love the way she catches tiny moments easily missed, still warm with gooey sun. They feel tangible and fragrant, memories of a life I’d like to live. Thank you for the inspiration @albayruela
“I find it hard to believe you don’t know The beauty you are But if you don’t, let me be your eyes A hand to your darkness, so you won’t be afraid” #velvetunderground #nico
To me, the hand is the most intimate part of the body. The sensitivity of the fingertips. The way you can feel someone’s heart beat under your palm. Skin stretched thinly over 27 bones. They speak volumes about a person without words. Soft petal never-worked hands, callused hands that have never stopped, hands cracked by wind and sun, hands with dirt under the nails from gardening, from fixing cars, from sadness, hands that stroke their love’s cheek like a petal, hands that hold babies, hands that push you against a wall and touch without listening, without asking. Hands that give, hands that take. There was a long stretch of my life where I wouldn’t let anyone hold mine. Not wouldn’t. Couldn’t. My hands are full now. My heart is fuller. It hasn’t always been this way, but now I know what I have. Photography by @albayruela
also this little nug from a gas station somewhere in what looks like the Pacific Northwest no idea really keeping ourselves entertained we did 2019

The reviews are in and ‘Can’t wait to make this film my new personality’ is a pretty accurate description of how we are feeling today 💯
