those days that make you want to be elsewhere
those days you make a spur of the moment decision that could determine the path to your future...
those days when comfort is under a warm blanket.
those days when the sun hits your cheeks and the wind mazes through your hair...
those days when you think about someone, and wonder if they're thinking about you.
those days when you want to tell everyone to fuck off...
those days when solitude feels like home, and loneliness is painful...
about to head off to yoga, but before I do, I wanted to say that I've been meaning to write about some things I've been experiencing the past few months, mostly about a "spiritual awakening," for lack of a better term. or let's call it a "divine realization..." or a "humanist manifestation..." or all of the above, perhaps. all of those things sound dramatic and maybe even silly, I know, and I'm not even sure I'm getting across what I'm trying to say, but whatever for now.
all I can say is I'm very grateful! I send out hugs and love with all of me!
this. so great. so, so great.
"Beauty and seduction is nature's tools for survival, because we protect what we fall in love with. It opens our hearts, and makes us realize we are a part of nature and we're not separate from it. When we see ourselves in nature, it also connects us to every one of us, because it's clear that it's all connected in one.
When people see my images, a lot of times they'll say, "Oh my God." Have you ever wondered what that meant? The "oh" means it caught your attention, makes you present, makes you mindful. The "my" means it connects with something deep inside your soul. It creates a gateway for your inner voice to rise up and be heard. And "God"? God is that personal journey we all want to be on, to be inspired, to feel like we're connected to a universe that celebrates life.
Did you know that 80 percent of the information we receive comes through our eyes? And if you compare light energy to musical scales, it would only be one octave that the naked eye could see, which is right in the middle? And aren't we grateful for our brains that can, you know, take this electrical impulse that comes from light energy to create images in order for us to explore our world? And aren't we grateful that we have hearts that can feel these vibrations in order for us to allow ourselves to feel the pleasure and the beauty of nature?
Nature's beauty is a gift that cultivates appreciation and gratitude..."
(here is the TedTalks version: gratitude.)
i'm feeling happy and excited and energetic and grateful! be grateful y'all. be grateful for everything you have and everything that's been given to you–good and bad, vast and minute, lasting and fleeting–and make the most of it all!
this song makes me want to engulf you with the biggest, tightest, sincerest, love-filled embrace i could possibly give with all of me.
back in a few.
