{ this, that, & the other }Tumblr (3.0; @decorgasm)http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/<p>There is a story of a woman running away from tigers. She runs and runs and the tigers are getting closer and closer. When she comes to the edge of a cliff, she sees some vines there, so she climbs down and holds on to the vines. Looking down, she sees that there are tigers below her as well. She then notices that a mouse is gnawing away at the vine to which she is clinging. She also sees a beautiful little bunch of strawberries close to her, growing out of a clump of grass. She looks up and she looks down. She looks at the mouse. Then she just takes a strawberry, puts it in her mouth, and enjoys it thoroughly. Tigers above, tigers below. This is actually the predicament that we are always in, in terms of our birth and death. Each moment is just what it is. It might be the only moment of our life; it might be the only strawberry we’ll ever eat. We could get depressed about it, or we could finally appreciate it and delight in the preciousness of every single moment of our life.  {Pema Chodron, The Wisdom of No Escape: How to Love Yourself and Your World}<br/> </p>http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/21193156105http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/21193156105Sun, 15 Apr 2012 23:19:49 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m054apIzke1qcbj6qo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>haha. got real.</p>http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/18483863341http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/18483863341Wed, 29 Feb 2012 00:52:01 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m053mqC6bv1qcbj6qo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>mini caprese skewers:: what I’ve been living on for days. so good.</p>http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/18483329837http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/18483329837Wed, 29 Feb 2012 00:45:28 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lziqk9Eq571qcbj6qo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>vote. your future depends on it.</p>http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/17749405006http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/17749405006Thu, 16 Feb 2012 22:48:09 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lziqipz4D61qcbj6qo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>#truth {explains so much…}</p>http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/17749355527http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/17749355527Thu, 16 Feb 2012 22:47:13 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyxgh7mm3d1qcbj6qo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>…and repeat… (each morning, on an empty stomach. go.)</p>http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/17094780243http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/17094780243Sun, 05 Feb 2012 11:00:43 -0500<p>I wanted a perfect ending. now I&#8217;ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don&#8217;t rhyme, and some stories don&#8217;t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what&#8217;s going to happen next&#8230;delicious ambiguity. {gilda radner}</p>http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/14842620076http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/14842620076Mon, 26 Dec 2011 22:29:57 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw4evsms1Y1qcbj6qo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>dumb is never cute.</p>http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/14147418752http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/14147418752Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:28:40 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw4epmHIam1qcbj6qo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>#love</p>http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/14147204454http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/14147204454Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:26:36 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw2ot5TEHF1qcbj6qo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>#meh</p>http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/14102964375http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/14102964375Sun, 11 Dec 2011 23:07:53 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw0ryiNsN71qcbj6qo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>fyi: this is all sorts of yum. {& vegan if that’s how you roll}</p>http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/14046866435http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/14046866435Sat, 10 Dec 2011 22:20:42 -0500vegan yum<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvu93lyYvW1qcbj6qo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/13873462814http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/13873462814Wed, 07 Dec 2011 09:47:45 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvpq6shOOF1qcbj6qo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>give me pattern or give me death. #style</p>http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/13765597654http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/13765597654Sun, 04 Dec 2011 23:10:14 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvoympUXTP1qcbj6qo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>love. #BreakfastAtTiffanys</p>http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/13735825020http://decorgasm.tumblr.com/post/13735825020Sun, 04 Dec 2011 13:13:37 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvm5c4qOLs1qcbj6qo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>yo, Father Time!
