Blueberry Bridges

I would like my life to be a statement of love and compassion… and where it isn’t, that’s where my work lies.

Why do you live in your body like you will be given another? As if it were temporary. You starve it, you let anyone touch it, you berate it. Tell it that it should be completely different. You tug at your soft flesh, wish it thinner, wish it gone. You fall in love with those who praise the way it sighs under their hands, but who praises the way it holds up your weight, even when you are falling apart?

Writers end up writing about their obsessions. Things that haunt them; things they can’t forget; stories they carry in their bodies waiting to be released

beenthinking: ecantwell: brightwalldarkroom: IT’S HERE!   Ladies and Gentleman, we can now officially present to you Issue #1 of Bright Wall/Dark Room magazine. Click HERE to get the app and a mini-issue (with a Foreword and a trio of essays) entirely for free.  If you like what you read, you can then choose to subscribe for $1.99 per month, at which point you’ll immediately receive Issue #1 as well, with a new issue to follow each and every month. A whole lot of time, hard work, late nights, and love went into all of this, and we do hope you’ll give it a look some time soon! Thanks, The BW/DR Team I have been editing essays for Bright Wall/Dark Room for YEARS now, and it’s been so exciting to see it (and be a part of helping it) go from Tumblr blog to magazine. If you  have an iPad or an iPhone, download the app and start exploring!  And, because we already have most of the content for Issue 2 lined up and ready to go, I can say this with authority: you will not be sorry if you subscribe. There are some pretty amazing writers (including people who are known, you know, outside of Tumblr) talking about some pretty amazing films, and it’s only going to keep getting better. Download! Read the free preview! Subscribe! Remember what it feels like to love movies and the people who make them!  Friends, neighbors, countrymen and women, movie lovers:  I implore you to download the new Bright Wall Dark Room app and subscribe to the $1.99 monthly magazine because it features gorgeous, thoughtful, time-stopping content provided by good people. Because for all the productivity, money counting, health monitoring, news updating, weather tracking apps we keep on our phones, maybe we’ve neglected to find one that might feed our creative hearts. And just like that, here it is!
