The Inside of An Oyster Shell


"...I looked into the house and saw this cosmic creature of a young girl. She was walking like some kind of princess, in slow motion, with her hands out to the sides...she had this absolutely bizarre magnetism, walking around and talking purposefully, but slowly, like she was Alice in Wonderland and the rest of the world wasn't...giving off [this]...flamboyance and a brassy, sassy, untouchable vibe.... In a city that was rife with people trying to look different and act different and be all this and all that, here was someone who was accomplishing it with ease, because she was a natural-born super-freak whose tendency in life was to look like the inside of an oyster shell."
-Anthony Kiedis, from 'Scar Tissue'

This is a story...

"Do things with 100% of our heart and mind. Whatever they may be. Arete. Merely living is not enough. We must put ourselves into situation and challenge ourselves to bring us to new heights. Never stop learning., never stop growing. This may very well be the only chance we have. Suffer, adapt, grow, repeat."
