| Knitting. like math. and any other learned procedure that has a given end result, have an interesting commonality.
my brother, one of the smarter men I know, said to me, "I don't understand math, I can do math, but I don't understand it. I may even get it, with out understanding it"
so is my current relationship with knitting. so long as I follow the specific procedure I will end at the given result.
There is nothing wrong with this. nor is there anything wrong with kelton not understanding math.
I beileve many doctors, now have learned how to be doctors. they get the body, without understanding it.
There is a group of knitters who have take a picture of a garden and have knitted a large scale version by simply looking and the shapes and colors. they need no pattern, to instructional, they understand knitting.
some mathematicians can not put into words how they solved the our worlds largest equations, they simply do it, they understand it.
i wonder how many other things we have been doing with out understanding them.

| Understand the history of marriage is answering a lot of the mysteries. and leaving me at a loss.
If Marriage for so long was an institution for the purposes of:
legal rights, birth rights, property, wealth, blood line.
If sexuality and marriage were not exclusively each others.
And The notion of Romantic love only became emphasized in the institution of marriage in the last few centurys, and has only become a primary requisite in the 1900's.
then why are we marrying?
Christianity built a beautiful delusion for what it claimed it 'should' be. perhaps to recreate meaning.
but as that falls to peices, we have to ask. what was the institution of marriage built for? how has to been used. did God have an intention for it? where does sexuality play a role?
references :
"history of the wife"
"history of sexuality" Foucault

| To be the product of my own hands. my own labor. my own efforts.
when I see my life as A diagram I am walking near the surface of the most intricate scaffolding, a structure that has been built on, added to restructured, reinforced and designed, for 100's of years.
" my 2nd grade teacher told me to always ask where things came from" laura said as we arrived at our favorite veg burrito spot in sunset beach.
Ive been asking that question more and more these days. I hold an Item and connect with what it took to create this item. what was mined? plundered? cut down, removed?
I'm sorry Earth.
I have also been asking, where do they go? where have all the pogs gone, the c.ds? and their cases? where did the ships of WWII land? what happened to that metal?
think of all the shampoo bottles I've used in my life- they went somewhere too. the starbucks cups, the clothes, the shopping bags, orange juice cartons, razors, deodorant sticks, pie tins, broken appliances and conviences. I mean Ive been here 22, almost 23 years now. I am one. I have realized that the waste removal infastructure has made it so I didnt have to think about this, ever before, ever now. I simply placed it in a bin. moments after I was decidedly done with the item. i never had to think of it again.
I walk down the isles of quick stop markets and am awed at the amound of useless kitch. knowing its only a time or two before it too will find that bin and never be thought of again.
I'm sorry Earth.
I'm sorry Earth.
This has peaked a curitosity ... "what could be found at the dump"
How much can I begin to live with out?
How are we going to change the infastructure? so people think about the million ways to reuse items.
to reduce. If i don't shave my legs, and pits, I won't need to buy diposable razors, or blades.
If I stop using conditioner thats one less, bottle. maybe i could make my own shampoos and soap.
AUGH the packaging. and this is only one area or waste.
back to the product of my own hands my own efforts.
when I cut my own hair I felt , "when people see me they will see the product of my hands."
When My leg hair is at it's full length, It is me, as created, fully self-expressed.
For so long I have been expressing my culture. and what it has defined beauty to be.
Years now my body has taken the nutrients I eat, and made them into little hairs, before they were visible I took a sharpe blade against my legs and cut them off. like a dog after his tail. why? where did that come from?

| sadly, I am realizing what a gift to be normal. normal enough to live life independently. normal enough that people can treat you like the majority of the rest of the people they come into contact with.
everyday we have the opportunity to re-create our future. living into that future greatly impacts our attitudes and behaviors today.
8 months ago, I was moving to kansas in may. maybe buy a house, hopefully fall in love.
4 months ago, I was going to get an internship that may or may not have anything to do with my studies or ultimate passion. It was going to be far away. and alone. Like utah, or south africa.
2 months ago I wanted to spend an extended period of time in solitude. to take that time to "process" my life from the begining to the present. I would teach myself an instrument, learn a trade. swim. run. sleep. think. read. and reread.
1 month ago, I figured I would start a co-op in long beach with my roommates, invest in building a community with gardens and graffitti, and start the long-time dreamt of restaurant.
this week I thought I would go on tour. take joeline, my bike, and some simple music. meet people on the road, see family in michigan, hike the trail in canada, see the east coast, learn to play music in the south, and learn all I can about getting my nourishment from the dirt.
each future I create, changes the present. each present I create changes my future.
