Lauren in Vancouver at ferry docks

Her memory from old habit of the mind
Went slipping back upon the golden days
In which she saw him first,…
from The Idylls of the King – Guinevere by Tennyson

I remember first seeing him standing in the doorway of the dockside restaurant.

Only a dad but he gives his all,
To smooth the way for his children small,
Doing with courage stern and grim
The deeds that his father did for him.
This is the line that for him I pen:
Only a dad, but the best of men.
from Only a Dad by Edgar A. Guest 

Thanks to Dads, one and all!

© Joan Currie – Journal cover

What sort of diary should I like mine to be? Something looseknit and yet not slovenly, so elastic that it will embrace anything, solemn, slight or beautiful that comes to mind. I should like it to resemble some deep old desk, or capacious hold-all, in which one flings a mass of odds and ends without looking them through.
by Virginia Woolf

I created my journal cover (above) with a painted section of fabric from a vintage Joseph Ribhoff jacket.

I wanna watch you undress
I wanna watch you glow
Let your hair down
All around, cover us both
You come in a wave
We crash and we roll
You surround me, pull me, drown me, swallow me whole.
from the song Run by Matt Nathanson

I love it when you run your fingers through my hair…

Elegance is a question of personality, more than one’s clothing. – Jean Paul Gaultier

Admiration turned to reverence for the fashion icon Jean Paul Gaultier – for his esprit de vie, creative genius, haute couture masterpieces, extravagant embellishments, and respect for personal freedoms of both men and women.
