Happy reading! I try to read 5 books a month but have also fallen a little behind.

The rain brings me peace when I’m hurt underneath. I’m wet with my tears, but it’s water you see…

Pangs usher through cracks in our psyche
tiny papercuts that widen
the weight on our shoulders
fleeting memories, soaked in purity.

The truth we seek as essential ablution
lives on the other side of the wall
we erect all our lives
believing in a keeper of our wounds.

An appetite deemed
Voracious, evidenced in
Devoured novellas.

I take a picture of this tree every single morning, during meditation. So far, not one picture has captured the same exact essence. Magic in nature abounds.

You don’t need to make good art.

You need to make honest art.

Messy art.

Weird art.

Art that makes no sense and still makes you feel alive.

Creativity isn’t always about output.

It’s about play.

Give yourself permission to make “bad” art.

That’s where the real magic begins.

I say “I am earth. I am fire. I am water. I am air.” every time I meditate! I’m here for this message 💯 percent!

todays mantra:

I am balanced. I am whole. I am grounded. I am centered. I am earth, I am water. I am fire. I am air. I am sun. I am the moon. I am light. I am dark. I am connected to all that is within & all that is around. I am rooted in myself. I am peace. I am love. I am balance. I am harmony

I meditate every day, and usually work out, before I sit down to create. Nature charges, and recharges, me in so many powerful ways!

“let freedom ring everywhere” vibes 💥

What’s everyone reading this month?

In my view, conversations about the deleterious effects of generative AI should be focused, almost entirely, on the fact that AI entities profit from training data they neither paid for nor have consent to use. I think every other argument against it is weak by comparison.

I cannot dance with silence
on this cacophonous planet.
Nonsense squawks the loudest
to make sure
intelligence hears it;
to make sure it shifts
the tectonics.
But I am a patriot,
hooked on the phonics
of a global mindset.
I toggle the music from English,
switch to ubiquitous verbiage.

happy last day of june🫶🏽🌱✨it was such a beautiful, blessed & expansive month for me. so grateful to be going into july with this momentum🌞✨

Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
There's a wonderful, wonderful light

Discussing movies, shows and documentaries, and sharing music playlists back and forth is my love language 🌻

I am between sky and earth.
Rooted in dirt, but the clean dirt.
Breathing green and blue.

I solemnly affirm to touch grass more often so help me sod

I am ahead
of a wretched
existence,
catching scintillas of greatness.
Traipsing the exquiseness
of bliss in transcendent
experience.
l am resilience
in trembling skin,
floating in the cyan mist
of honking intersections.
I am above this pollution,
no matter where it is
I stand.
