Nicole Rizzo is a word assembler, trinket worshiper, creature admirer, melody dweller and scrap paster.
She is a soft human sunbeam whose life mission is to pay very close attention to every mini meanwhile she finds herself in.
She loves getting comfy with the idea that life is constantly and consistently happening, regardless of our efforts. It is impossible to miss out on inspiration or be tardy to feelings given the perpetual regeneration of meanwhiles. We are not responsible, but we are certainly reapers of the benefits of all this material.
In other words, the world speaks in meanwhiles and in simultaneous poems and every lovely and terrible thing writes itself into being everyday and all we need to do is pay attention and put the pieces together. And then we call ourselves poets and artists, which seems silly for us to claim when it’s all just existing in bounty already. But perhaps the universe forgives us and encourages our tiny efforts regardless by saying things like, “Yeah, totally! Thanks for noticing! Good job!” and gives us more to work with.
And isn’t this silly little collection of meanwhiles—this crazy spinning and infinitely simultaneous world.. . isn’t it quite mysterious, quite hopeful, quite terrifying, quite humbling, quite beautiful?
Nicole certainly thinks so. This space is her online collection of some little things she’s strung together—using the whimsical, wonderful resources of any given moment.
Thanks for being here.
