  • discovery

    Without thinking, worry, or

    day-by-day distractions, by

    permitting the mind to go

    wherever it wanders,

    wherever it goes,

    you end up in the present.

     

    You can find yourself in art

    as easily as you can lose your self.

    The dichotomy of discovery

    requires little direction; you don’t 

    even have to pay attention.

    Simply be.

  • July 21, 2024

    It is the early morning when you are permitted to glance at what has happened overnight as it offers a slight acknowledgement of what is still to come.

       6:17 a.m., just as expected, I was fortunate to see the zenith of Luna’s brightness. There, through the haze (or misplaced stardust), was the most pleasing sight.

       Will wonders never cease?

       Of course, I smiled.

       And I without my camera.

       Before, so many times, I have gazed up into the darkness, and many times I’ve been able to capture the moment. Today, with only a sketchbook, pencils and pastels, I was able to quickly etch out my impression of what this synodic month is all about.

       Every 29.53 days you are given this exact opportunity.

       It’s well worth waking up for.

  • as you wander

    Gather your thoughts,
    be calm
    through the day.
    Find balance
    and confidence
    as you wander
    your own way.
    Be curious
    and open-minded,
    for the wonders
    will never cease.
    Let go
    of all your worries,
    and
    pick up the peace.
