Jenny of Aubrey Road blogs from a little house in Honolulu.i love this clean, neat little space-within-a-space countertop desk.
& as the fluorescents buzz above me,
i'm drawn to the natural light in the photo too!

Scandinavian houses are always amazing. period.i'm drawn to corners that would be good for daydreaming, and this is one!

a girl contains worlds, nature, death, and dreams. and sometimes i feel like half of me has faded from this world, like i'm transparent and floating away with the strength of my longing for more. more of what? i could list a few things, but sometimes i'm not certain that what i think i want, is what i really want. so i'm gonna keep quiet about it for now and think. "what do you want?" seems like such an easy question, but if someone sat me down, looked me in the eye, and really asked, i don't know what i'd say. or maybe i do . . . but i'd certainly want a moment to think about it. because if i could have anything i wanted, where would i be without that longing? possession without longing seems one-dimensional.
i am a girl of tension, asking, challenge, weariness, dreams.
i don't know where all of this is leading me.

That last image is haunting me (in a good way!)! Whenever I'm posed with the question "what do you want" I'm usually speechless. It occurs to me now that I never know what exactly I want & that feeling is essentially that what I want, what my spirit wants, is more of Him but words don't do justice to capture what He is!
Love these images, they're wonderful. [Love the way you use pictures to express...] I would say that for me there is nothing in this world like the morning light on a morning (before everything else starts to get crazy) walk. Wouldn't have to be far, just to take the air and the light in so you can store it up for the day.
Then I would say, be bold and do ask yourself what you want! It is the only way to counsel yourself out of misery, and to keep your thoughts 'captive'.
And the longing part is normal - it we weren't always a little anxious about the future, then we would fall into complacency. You're such a healthy and normal little bean! And I love your passion! Wish I could hug your bones!

leading...to a BIGGER part of yoU.
good girls: that's an interesting thought. when the words won't come, maybe it's because there are simply no words to describe what i'm feeling. for a woman of words, that's a difficult thing to come to terms with at times...but there's also something beautiful about it.
shell: thanks so much for your perpetual encouragement, affirmation, and presence here. your words mean a lot to me. keeping one's thoughts "captive" is a VERY difficult thing to do that requires constant discipline and attention. not something i can do on my own. thank God i don't have to do it on my own.
nancy: you always have a way of lending new perspective when i feel like i'm backed into a corner. what a gift :)
