Orignally here

With a song in my heart

And a dance in my soul

I crave the brilliance of color

And the complexity of textures

My Best Picture

Home

I want a little house

A place to call my own

A house way up in the hills

With lots of room to roam

And welcomed upon return

Feeling Blue

I am feeling a bit blue today. I am not sad. More accurately, raw. Lots of life changes coming up and while I know this sorts of things make you stronger and more quipped to deal with even harder events in the future, sometimes I wish it could all be washed away. I am in a way also feeling blue because while all of this is piling up on me, I feel like I can see an end to the deep dark tunnel. And the end is fresh, clean and the color blue.   

I came across these pictures my Tom Robbins my chance a while back, the man is brilliant. His pictures are seen below, while I have lost his site, if you can get it to me I would love to give him due credit.

wishing for spring

i am one of the very few people that i know in the pacific northwest that can really get on board with all our rain. but right now i am cold, tired and while i dont need it to be summer it would be nice to see some evidence of change. its time for spring.

abandon

as a child i often had reoccurring dreams about abandoned houses. some were scary, most were just curious, but either way they were often. as i have gotten older my curiosity has grown to the point of actively seeking these places and exploring them. while many dream analysis have told me the dreams aren't healthy (usually regarding my closed off phyche or abandonment issues i am refusing to deal with), i sort of think they are full of it. when i seek and approach an abandoned structure it isn't in fear or some subconscious desire to seek the solution to all my problems. it is out of curiosity and exploration. the beauty left behind is so heart breaking, i am drawn to the simplicity in the absence of human life and the subsequent overtake of nature. i find myself asking questions and seeking answers to what the past lives were like, why they left and where they can be found now. a discovery of remnants.
