The Calm in the Storm : Courtney Love-Cobain, NYC 2010

Courtney Love-Cobain is not what I expected. She is generous, outspoken, child like, interested, engaged and spiritual in a way that you would never guess from the crazy headlines and antics we all associate with her. She is a buddhist and she is quite inspiring when she goes within and lets her softness out. Her face changes, her formidable energy transforms and she becomes peace. To me she is an archetype for the struggle to marry action and stillness, happiness and pain, light and dark, creativity and destruction. Interesting, self aware, sharply intelligent,charming, fascinating, contradictory, enigmatic, charismatic, hilariously funny and supremely human.
