Lazy.
…I have been neglecting the ML blog, and so, here is a snap shot into some parts of the summer.

Probably one of the most influential books I will read. I am not even half way through yet, but I have such an attachement to the way Patti Smith recalls her young and naive years with Robert Mappelthorpe. Its a book I think I may pick up and read over and over again throughout life. For those low on inspiration or feeling lost..its worth picking up, and for those that just enjoy a well told story..its a must.

Summer Poem
A Lemon
Pablo Neruda
Out of lemon flowers
loosed
on the moonlight, loves,
lashed and insatiable
essences,
sodden with fragrance,
the lemon tree’s yellow
emerges,
the lemons
move down
from the tree’s planetarium
Delicate merchandise!
The harbors are big with it-
bazaars
for the light and the
barbarous gold.
We open
the halves
of a miracle,
and a clotting of acids
brims
into the starry
divisions:
creation’s
original juices,
irreducible, changeless,
alive:
so the freshness lives on
in a lemon,
in the sweet-smelling house of the rind,
the proportions, arcane and acerb.
Cutting the lemon
the knife
leaves a little cathedral:
alcoves unguessed by the eye
that open acidulous glass
to the light; topazes
riding the droplets,
altars,
aromatic facades.
So, while the hand
holds the cut of the lemon,
half a world
on a trencher,
the gold of the universe
wells
to your touch:
a cup yellow
with miracles,
a breast and a nipple
perfuming the earth;
a flashing made fruitage,
the diminutive fire of a planet.Push Ups in the Park
Its not everyday you get invited to a launch and get kitted out in sports wear to then, get down to a 30min grueling fitness session! Alas last Thursday I did just that with the Nike team from Exposure PR. The session was lead by two of Nikes master trainers, and mixes strength, cardio and core exercises to make sure you get the most out of each session.
