Blue Doors

Stark beauty
The kind that can be interpreted wrong

Unfair? Or uplifting?

Stark beauty
The kind the accepts no lies
Only the comforts created and cultivated
The kind that are treasured as the highest award
(TBD)

Every blue door is a gift
A gift so unexpected

A blue door
Opens
To a new space
Meant for you, and YOUR
Stark Beauty Awarded

Behind each blue door
All the mystery
All the answers
At the exact same time

66
Blue doors-

66
Questions answered

66 lives, lived in a matter of 66 seconds or is it days? Hard to tell how long, but the time behind each door is never enough, it is always too short and unpredictable

Tumbling in turmoil into each doorway, after hearing the slam of the door behind you, forced to accept, forget, process, and enter.

Unfair? Or uplifting?

66 chances to try again
enjoy create invent and PLAY

65 doors

Still unsettled

Unfair? Or uplifting?

Today I passed a small blue door
It did not open
Wtf?

As I passed it, kicking the gravel
Pissed off and confused
I found a key
A skeleton key
I held it in my hand
I realized it was tiny
Tiny for that small blue door

But never before
Have I needed a key
This must be special

Well, I could simply say-
Dear child
That the key I happened to find
Was lucky

But no
Dear child
That key was made of all my tears and hurt and shit from the that 65 doors
It was made from me
It was made for me

That key opened the 66th door
Stark Beauty

The 66th blue door : if I dare tell the tale
Was the last door I opened
It was the last place I ever needed to be
It is the place I went to in my dreams
My playroom
My safe place
My peaceful place
My creative place
My
My
My
My
My blue door home.

    66 OURS - Collaborative Writing Project

    Starting with Phase 1, writers had 66 days to base their writing on 1 anonymous person & 1 vignette, dutifully and judiciously assigned to each writer by Amelia.

    For Phase 2, Amelia then took said writings and paired them with artists who then have 66 days to translate the words into physical form, either with creations or performance.

    Then the works and secrets were revealed June 22nd through June 24th 
    at 
    Beulahland.

    Photos given to the writers

    Each writer was given a combination of 1 person + 1 vignette from the following:
