  • the difference

    Why couldn’t
    it look different?

    Why shouldn’t
    it look different?

    If I want change,
    shouldn’t it be different?

    I’ve seen it in my head,
    why not in front of me?

    Will I notice
    the difference?

  • look further

    we see only
    what we expect
    when obstacles
    prohibit us
    from seeing what
    we wish to see
    our vision
    only allows us
    so much
    still
    we want
    to look further
    conceivably for
    what we expect
    might be there

  • ?

    What happens when
    your silence becomes
    your serenity?

  • Toronto 5:47 a.m.

    I woke early this morning, earlier than usual, to photograph the Super Blue Moon. I went out late last night and took a few shots, but was not entirely satisfied with the results.
        The pull of the Moon was enough to get me out of bed early, and wandering the neighbourhood for the best vantage point.
        Some things are worth getting up for.
        Super Blue Moons are rare, occurring about once in a decade; once in a blue moon. The next time I will have the opportunity is in 2037 in both January and March. I intend to photograph each one.
        As a bonus, I also caught a glimpse of Saturn shining in the very early morning.
        All I had to do was look up.

  • acknowledge what you can

    it must be observed
    to be felt

    uncertain arrival
    you do not notice

    until you do

    infrequently unfortunately
    tucked into the chaos

    and global squalor

    it comes to you
    from time to time

    often when
    you need it the most

    remind yourself
    peace is important

    acknowledge what you can
    when you can

    however you can

    reposition your
    disposition
