Everyone from Detroit that I have had the pleasure of knowing, has this supreme quality about them, one of tender resilience. People that can occupy these two oppositional, yet complementary qualities have always been those whom I find myself drawn towards. Like a deep fried anything, crispy on the surface, yet warm and uniquely perfect inside.
There are other places in which I have become aware of such tough and tender dispositions; & precisely where I didn't think I'd find it, I found calm in a place that emanated paralleled uncertainties that I myself hold within. When starting fresh, reconstructing concepts of comfort is necessary but no easy task, and impermanence is inevitably everywhere.
