Learning To Love You More

http://learningtoloveyoumore.com/hello/index.php
Learning to Love You More is both a web site and series of non-web presentations comprised of work made by the general public in response to assignments given by artists Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher. Yuri Ono designs and manages the web site.
Participants accept an assignment, complete it by following the simple but specific instructions, send in the required report (photograph, text, video, etc), and see their work posted on-line. Like a recipe, meditation practice, or familiar song, the prescriptive nature of these assignments is intended to guide people towards their own experience.
Since Learning To Love You More is also an ever-changing series of exhibitions, screenings and radio broadcasts presented all over the world, participant’s documentation is also their submission for possible inclusion in one of these presentations. Past presentations have taken place at venues that include The Whitney Museum in NYC, Rhodes College in Memphis, TN, Aurora Picture Show in Houston, TX, The Seattle Art Museum in Seattle, WA, the Wattis Institute in San Francisco CA, among others.
Since LTLYM inception in 2002 over 2000 people have participated in the project

Miss Larn alerted me to this site that has a series of assignments given by Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher. I love the idea behind the assigments and I’m looking forward to working on this one. recording a guided meditation tape
Take a look around and find an assignment you can work on.

Thanks Lauren for the heads up on this one.

Southern Utah (outstanding natural landscapes)

This last weekend I had the opportunity to join a few friends on a trip to Escalante. the trip was amazing and aside from being really sore and tired this trip goes down as one of the great ones.


What this picture can’t tell you is how tough we actually are, this canyon was 37 miles from the car, filled with snakes spiders & venomous birds, keeper pot holes, loose chock stones, falling trees, and 1,000 other things that were no big deal for us.

When there is nothing to write about one has to make something.

“Are you handicap?” the lady in the blue moo moo ask me when the door slides open? It is late, I’ve been deathly ill and I’m still not feeling well, so my response may have been some what delayed, “Well if you Aint Handicap then your car is up stairs!” the rest of the room declares in a less than friendly tone. I back away somewhat frightened, somewhat apologetic that was when I noticed the sign seats 140- 175 upstairs.

When I finally sat down in an unoccupied seat I may have finally come to terms with the idea that 11:59 really isn’t the most magical time to leave a train station. A The train station, if you can call it that, in SLC really wasn’t much more than some parked cars a temporary building housing a few rows of discarded airport chairs with cracked and stained vinyl peeling from center, and chain link fence. I believe I was actually heading back to my auto when the conductor called out All Aboard! then confronted me head on and said “You board over here sir”— which I took to mean “if you go that way you are wuss, bock, bock, bock”. So telling myself that I was no chicken I boarded the train which leads you back my opening paragraph.

Currently I’m sitting in a friends loft in San Francisco high over Market Street and I’m really grateful I made the trip. I have so much more to write and promise to do so at the beginning of next week. I just wanted to give you all an idea of what I was up to and push down some of the older boring post.
