burnt out

2008
brooklyn, ny

i used to collect semi-precious stones since the time i was like eight years old and the nature company was still a store you could find in most malls, peddling rain sticks and telescopes and hippie shit. these are all the rocks i have now; a couple of them were acquired when i was living in LA and briefly hung out with this chick who was a masseuse who claimed she could "feel the vibrations" in the rocks. i don't know about all that, but they do say that rocks have healing properties. that's not why i collected them, of course; i don't really believe in that voodoo. they're beautiful, aren't they? they glitter in the sun and make a nice sound when they're clicked against each other.

as for the candle, it came in a set that of three that was inspired by the sea or something, and i would burn them while listening to miles davis and reading by the window, next to these rocks.
