queen, kitsch, cowboy kate

i got a new bed! omg. i'm now a queen, not a full. what a difference. sigh. can't wait to go home and stare at it.

with the new bed came a big overhaul of my apartment last night. i dragged out all of my old photos and some new ones, and rearranged my altars and in the midst of all of that i had an epiphany..

to back up.. i've been straddling this line lately. one foot in two worlds so to speak. one, my spiritual/healer/teacher world and the other, my kitsch/midwest roots/tom waits-lovin world. each side has been in conflict with the other at different points in the last year or two. but NOW...I've figured out a way to have BOTH. it showed up in the form of an altar last night.

buddha can mix with cowboys and photos of musicians. why not? altars are created for different reasons and this particular one is there just to make me smile. so. i understand how i can coexist with my self. and in case you're wondering.. this is HUGE. :)
