    Style is the way you say it, the way you do it, the way you live it.
    Sometimes it is an appearance. Sometimes it is an attitude.
    Style is the lighting of life. It accentuates, delineates, and conceals. At its best, style reflects the soul.

    A single word can distil al that you know to be good, beautiful, and true. Words carry energy. Every word has its own history and momentum. It is the result of cultural enterprise, constructed over time, Look into a word, and you wil find a world of meaning and possibility. Applied with intention, words are magic formulas.

    With more exposure, my definition of beauty deepened. Beauty is hearing other people tel their truth. Beauty is drawing pictures, even when you're scared. Beauty is asking.

    ART THAT HAS MOVED ME: Mark Rothko's paintings. Jim Morrison's An American Prayer recordings—shamanic, drunk, rock poet—makes me hot in every way.
    Leonard Cohen's concert at Santa Fe's Palo Solari: “There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.” Elvis's '68 Comeback Special! The set, the gospel, and those perfectly fit leather pants. He knew who he was.
