hogan sweet hogan

Dear Cyberspace,

while i seek to understand your quantum quirks, i see more truth sometimes in the simplicity of our natural world. from february 2009 to April 2009, I lived in a navajo hogan, with the Colorado river as my front yard, and miles of red rock fins as my backyard. off the grid, no water or electricty... i simply loved it. i noticed that the space of the hogan, literally its dome shape contained an energy ive never felt in a living space before. something nuturing... motherly, perhaps. and not only that, but i connected to a love shared among all who are in this space. the outer parts of the hogan where domed as well... and it reminds me of my mother's sweet medicine teachings... to dome an area as a sacred space. this space most definitely was sacred. i only desire to one day be back in an alternative living space similar to this one. enjoy the tour of the hogan.

love,

mika in moab

hogan, sweet hogan

light is time

you can tell i have a bit of free time. Im still on Mika's Moab vacation...

Light is Time.

Inspired by the poetry of Martha Gilbert.

and in hopes that i can now develop some sort of desert poetry.

The Desert warms my heart

Back in Moab, staying at Ali's house. sleeping in scott's bed. and the desert has welcomed me home with an elated embrace. i love moab. she already has whispered to me whereabouts my spirit needs to be. and its here. sigh. i know moab. and i am ready to start advancing my life, and also stay in paradise as long as i can. quality of life. 

ive been reading The human condition  and In search of Schrodinger's cat... im ready to invite more science in... and i plan to finish the photography and alternative proceses packet from mr. robert schaller. and i plan to write a treatment/screenplay for Erosion.

What is Erosion? well.... the film i am developing... to potentially shoot, on 16mm the right way....

 An experimental narrative, lesbian western, in relation to human evolution, by examining the intersection between erosion and eroticism. this film will be a conceptual sculpture of earth, light, water, and celluloid, developed as a southwest love story in search of its own truth. 

and the love story takes place between a young mormon girl, displaced within her family, and an older Navajo woman, expediting to find her roots. 

i dig it. we'll see what this grows into. im into the idea of erosion as body of earth, and eroticism as human body in contact with the elements.  examining womblike canyons, water agent, wind, time, sun, and love.

Sundance Film Festival 2009

Volunteering in the IT dept. at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah... is quite the experience. today is my last day of official IT work... and the festival begins on friday.... so technically i have the whole festival off... with a volunteer credential that will get me into pretty much everything... and at least 14 free film passes.... i have a cozy place to stay for free! with a woman who i shockingly havent met yet... but she lovingly offered her home to me. ive met several awesome people in the IT dept... ive been hanging out with Abbey, from chicago and Nigeria. we will see what the shizzle is here.
