Like Christmas Morning

In the desert in July, when you hear the thunder boom and the skies start pouring rain, it harkens one back to that feeling of being a little kid on Christmas Eve, waiting for Santa Clause (or your magical parents) to do their thing with the presents in the night, and you finally fall asleep . . . 

You wake up on Christmas morning and make a mad dash to the living room to see where your presents are at,

It’s that same delicious feeling in the air that I get when it rains here during the long, long desert summer.

What a beautiful thing it would be to dance in it. Picture that for a moment, can you feel it? 

Tumbleweeds on the railroad. The above story is from this afternoon’s rain in the desert, though surprisingly i took this picture in NYC up on the highline a few Springtime’s ago.

The Curious Wanderer

I wander the Earth, a curious being; enchanted by the skies and the trees and what each season brings. 

I’m on my journey through this curious world, and I know that I’ll always treasure and respect my solitude; 

And what’s also true is that I hope the day will come where we can enjoy the experiences of each season together, side by side; cause to me, you felt like home. ✨

inextricable: Nature and Art

Nature and art are inextricably linked . .

Walking on an endless ribbon of Sea-ice without wearing ice skates is a kind of freedom 🙌

Hamlet: Lost & Found

On a nondescript road (x) in the hamlet, the Danish Prince lost his way and came quite undone . . Truth being what it is, he struggled to get better, and after years of healing spirit, mind, and body; he loved her still.  💕

Tree of Life

The Universe is vast . . 

we wander through life’s deserts and valleys, the sands of time immeasurable . . 

We cannot tell if things are closer or farther than they appear . . 

and within each grain of sand, there is a Universe.

Warm & Fuzzy

You’ve stirred something inside of me, 

A luminescence full of beauty and grace,

Reverberating deeply within my soul;

Infinitely. ✨💗

Sweet Yearning

Lay me down on a bed of wildflowers, and do with me what you’ve been aching to . . all this time 💞

Beside The Pillar of Truth

In times of ancient, you left your love letter to me upon the shore, an infinite circle, made of sand and stone; drawing me back to you in this lifetime.
