Sometimes changing, sometimes slowly

You’re not just a story,
The beginning and end,
You’re the things in the middle,
That you can’t comprehend,
Not just as you’re written,
Your life in its stages,
You’re things in-between,
Flowers pressed in the pages.

"Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words."
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

not outside
but in

The universe is weird.

A MESSAGE FROM THE VOID

YOU ARE NOT THE SUM OF EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE OR SAID WRONG

YOU ARE NOT THE CULMINATION OF EVERY TERRIBLE, UNTRUE THING OTHERS HAVE LED YOU TO BELIEVE IS TRUE ABOUT YOU

YOU ARE A MUSEUM OF EVERYTHING YOU LOVED

YOU ARE ENOUGH

Pink Water Lily at Gansen-ji Temple This serene photograph captures a single, vibrant pink water lily floating on the tranquil surface of a pond at Gansen-ji, a historic temple in Kyoto. The flower is the central focus, its layers of delicate petals ranging from deep magenta at the tips to a soft, pale pink near the base, surrounding a cluster of bright yellow stamens that pop against the petals. A clear reflection of the bloom is visible in the dark, still water below, enhancing the sense of calm and symmetry. The lily is cradled by several large, emerald-green lily pads, some of which show subtle signs of natural wear. A soft, "radiant" green glow permeates the edges of the frame, creating a dreamlike, atmospheric quality that highlights the spiritual and natural beauty often associated with Japanese temple gardens.

the music made me do it

Nobody should have to mute their reality

it stands
witness

a white syllable
set against eons

it was already there
when no one was looking

snow learning
how to vanish

we measure ourselves
against
what does not move

and fail
beautifully

Abstract photo collage of tree silhouettes along s snow glistening dirt road. Light from two sun rays pop thru a blue sky in the right upper corner. Symbolizing distractions on windy days with little to no sleep.. There is chaos in most people’s heads (regarding all the layers of survival) but the natural essences of life (like wind) can have an amazing effect to pull us forward by forcing the release. An everyday battle that most humans must deal with.

Seeping thru her foundation,

words ponder
winded w/ angst.

Ode to dreams unsaid…

Torii Shinto Shrine on Lake Shinji-ko This evocative sunset photograph by The Sankei Shimbun captures the iconic torii gate of Yomegashima Island on Lake Shinji-ko in Shimane Prefecture. The composition is defined by a dramatic, fiery red palette, with the low-angled sunlight reflecting intensely off the gentle ripples of the water's surface in the foreground. In the distance, the small, tree-covered silhouette of the island sits anchored in the lake, centered around the white stone torii gate that glows brightly against the dark foliage. The sky above is filled with long, horizontal bands of orange and crimson clouds, creating a sense of vastness and spiritual serenity. This location is renowned as one of Japan's most beautiful sunset spots, where the architectural symbol of Shintoism meets the profound natural beauty of the lake.
