My 45 day flight from reality began in earnest this morning. First stop HOMEGIRL BAKERY.
A swell location for a morning tea latte and a muffin baked fresh by someone trying to turn their life around. I like their motto, "Nothing stops a bullet like a job." I'm all for giving second chances. And thirds and fourths if needed. A friendly young man with a tattooed face and neck took our order.
A very talented and prolific artist (and teacher) from my school has some of his gorgeous paintings hanging throughout the cafe. I withhold his name only because I'm trying to keep my blog flying under the school radar. I haven't been completely successful.
Note to self: come back here soon. Take the Goldline. Bring journal. Write. Wander.
After Homegirl we headed for errands in Little Tokyo. Straight down Alameda. Past Union Station.
Turn the page.
Like a book, one chapter of the city opens onto another.
There are passages to be underlined. Walls to be leaned against. Thinking to be done.

You see LA like nobody else! Honestly, you're like a sort of Huell Howser with camera...like LA's Gold Through The Eyes of MISS MOSS!
