I ascend in delight where the heaviness looms, and spirits they lift atop a misty cliff An inverted fog you engulf me in, a view so unclear as I watch you disappear In the golden valley below the skies open up, to taste your sweet tear oh, the melody I’ll hear I followed where you led upon water cast thy bread, a vision crystal clear, in the reflections of my fear Waited a long time to have you by […]

“A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.” -JOAN W A L S H ANGLUND This past weekend marked the official first day of Spring. My Saturday was off to an overcast start but I refused to let it break my sunny spirit. I think such days serve as a reminder to always seek the silver lining. We often forget that the sun has in fact not deserted us, it’s simply hidden, waiting to see if we’ll […]

“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and realize that prisoner was you.” – LEWIS B. SMEDES PRESS PLAY Valentine’s Day seems to be a holiday that stirs up some mixed feelings. The special occasion, which celebrates the purest of human emotions, has in a way been tainted by consumerism and the demand to have a sweetheart. This can easily warp one into believing your worth is dependent on external circumstances. Without realizing it, many of us have bought into the marketing schemes […]

NEW YEAR | NEW YOU As a new year begins and we all focus on our resolutions, I decide to go an alternative route and create intentions throughout the year. This means everyday I will wake up with purpose. I will be aware of what I am doing but also why I am doing it. However, in order to do so I must be fully present and clear. Resolutions/intentions require a plan/ritual as well as […]

“Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.” -ARISTOTLE TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING | IS TOO MUCH We currently live in a distracting world and an over-active society, exposing us to more information than ever before. For some, this has created anxiety or even mental illnesses such as ADD or FOMO. We tend to believe that success requires us to multi-task and actively pursue something at all times. Having felt the effects of […]

Head over to SURREALITY || Part I for a recap on how Mitch and I met __________ (Past Reflection) The day began with an overcast dreariness that kept me in bed an extra hour. My conscious and subconscious minds intertwine as I replay the final moments of last night’s dream. I watch myself fearlessly walk through a dark space that I now recognize to be a haunted house. Suddenly reality kicks in and all traces of fear […]

“Poker is a fascinating, wonderful, intricate adventure on the high seas of human nature.” – David A. Daniel The notion of one man’s trash as another’s treasure is far from unusual to me. I mean, let’s be honest, you can’t share the same name with Captain Morgan and not have some of the same qualities. In a debate, he and I would probably not see eye to eye on our idea of ‘treasure.’ We would agree […]

“True creativity does not come easily; creativity is born of risk and refined from failure.” -Erwin McManus, The Artisan Soul Let us not be confused, creativity is not a gift given to the rare few. Rather, it is a rare few who take the risk to be creative. It’s as if we’ve been playing a game of telephone and during our correspondence our words became misinterpreted. You see, we are all born creators. So why do […]

“Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion.” –Buddha The Greeks refer to nostalgia as the pain from an old wound. This makes complete sense as I catch myself reminiscing over old photos. Instead of my usual happiness, I emotionally ache. To me, photography and nostalgia seem to go hand and hand. Like nostalgia’s accomplice, photography has the ability to trigger powerful emotions by capturing the fleeting moments in which we long to return. This could certainly feel heightened […]
