"At the back of our brains, so to speak, there was a forgotten blaze or burst of astonishment at our own existence. The object of the artistic and spiritual life was to dig for this submerged sunrise or wonder; so that a man sitting in a chair might suddenly understand that he was actually alive, and be happy." Chesterton

mini coopers
So....I really want a blue and white mini cooper, but I don't really know if I can pull it off. I feel like I might be a poser or something. Cause the thing is, mini's used to be a really savvy, chic thing to have (in the days of "The Italian Job" anyways). And now that they're more mainstream, I'm not sure what kind of vibe it sends off. Is it the "I want to be urban/alternative but I'm not." Or is it more of a "I want to be economical and environmentally friendly but didn't feel like being on a wait list for hybrids". Either way, I feel like I want the image of being more alternative or urban or something that I'm not. Maybe it's cause I want people to look at me and think that I'm the kind of girl that finds the perfect balance of edgy and classic and who can look at things and see through all the passing trends and can find what's really beautiful about all of them. I wish I could see what lasts beyond them, but be able to embrace the creativity and art of life beyond and in the midst of all it's change.
