Purpose

I can feel it sitting there

In the deep, dark pit of me

My story…or maybe stories

Trying to claw themselves free.

I push them down and down

And still they struggle to get out

Free from the darkness

That has trapped them so long

They fight up and out

Into the light for the first time

A few wobbly steps later

They stand tall, breathe, and live.

look closely enough

Look closely enough at something

It disappears

In its place, formless

A void of what was

What might have been

Look closely enough at something

Stay blind

To the beautiful forms

All around

Step back and look

Listen and see

Be surprised by all that is

Present

Amazing accidents in Life to be found

I don’t know

I often hear the voice ask me

You know the one

What are you doing?

What are you waiting for?

Why haven’t you done it?

Why are you still here?

If I am being honest,

I don’t know.

I don’t know.

I don’t know.

I don’t know.

I JUST AM.

Squirrels again

I’m still trying to decide which version of the photo that I like better but right now I’m leaning towards the bottom photo.

Lavenders in the Breeze

The fragrance of you
In my mind inescapable.
The wind carries you to me,
Lavenders in the breeze.
In an instant transported
Back against your chest
Arms wrapped around
The last time I truly felt
Contentment in who I am.
Left alone, no more lavender,
The dark doubts creep in
Whispering their words once more
You should not be.
But I am.
And I will continue to be
Because one day, once again,
The wind will bring you
Back to me.

I took this a few years ago on a trip in Queensland, Australia. It was with just the camera on my phone at the time. However, I been considering getting into photography more seriously lately so I’ve been looking into some of the old photos that I have taken over the years. I found this gem, and maybe a few others that I will post over time. The background of this photo I just absolutely love.

Growth

I just started learning After Effects yesterday so this really simple animation is from my first session in the program. I plan on adding more effects to it over time as I become more proficient in it. Until then, enjoy and feel free to leave any helpful hints and tips.
