“Marina Abromovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again.

At her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of the show, where she shared a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing and this is what happened.”

Mussel gathering in Half Moon Bay, a hundred latkes in Napa, hiking down a cliff in the dark to the Stinson Beach hot springs, snowboarding in Tahoe. Five days. California, I am in L-O-V-E.

DAVID RAKOFF

Fri, 24 Aug 2012 23:32:47 -0400

I think what it means is that central to living

a life that is good is a life that’s forgiving.

We’re creatures of contact, regardless of whether

we kiss or we wound. Still, we must come together.

Though it may spell destruction, we still ask for more —

since it beats staying dry but so lonely on shore.

So we make ourselves open while knowing full well

it’s essentially saying, “please, come pierce my shell.

I have no personal, or even any, ties to David Rakoff, but when I learned of his death a few weeks past, I was deeply saddened. Perhaps because he seemed like an actual person, rather than just someone who was famous for writing. Or perhaps because I found similarities in his view of life? I don’t really know, but as I listened to the This American Life episode which highlighted his life, I found myself fighting back tears. So…I guess, come pierce my shell.
