This functional piece is about how being loved impacts the mind as we move through life.  

The mind is a host for our thoughts, which then define our beliefs, inform our actions, and ultimately craft our daily lives. With this piece, the experience of beholding beauty as part of the self, and the ability to receive a kind gesture, have their arms linked.

It is a reminder to nourish one’s sense of self-worth in order to live expansively, and in love.

Addendum A: Kiss Me On My Neck, Erykah Badu

“If you want to feel me (yeah)
Better be divine (yeah)
Bring me water, water for my mind (yeah)
Give me nothin'
Breathe love in my air (yeah)
Don't abuse me (yeah)
'Cause these herbs are rare”
