late summer heat….103 today…..the best for imagining how parfums open up on your skin….
Life is full of summer heat, these days……the wrap of a
luscious august is here and we’re in the middle of a summer
afternoon…..the parfums are being chilled like martinis here to
keep them fresh………alight the refrigerated soft flow of the
studio and the deep long formulation curve of the project…..I am enmeshed
in, fully giving myself over to the elements of clean, romantic, and uplifted
emotional body. Lete is how we spend the dog days of summer, before
the crisp launch of a new holiday parfum in the fall.

Here is an excerpt…whales are on my radar this week after having a special gypsy style turkish coffee cup reading from two esteemed albanian readers. so…without further ado…meaning and interpretations about jonah and his faith:

Jonah and the Whale
Below is a link to a painter’s three paintings in modern tomes…of Jonah and the Whale that illustrate what he believes is the true meaning behind Jonah and the Whale, being Cetus, the story of the constellation that is only visible three weeks out of the year….and illustrates the symbolism of the biblical story. Read on.

morning fog……cooler, birds chirping…..early sunday walking meditation
gratitude
open air blessings
birds singing
beauty
inhale beauty, exhale grief
inhale joy, exhale sorrow
inhale creativity, exhale blockage
inhale love, exhale and transmute hate
inhale gratitude, exhale gratitude
rinse, repeat….xo
