i found photographs tonight

a year ago

you and i

graduation

the garden

filled with light

the pathways and plants perfectly pristine

kept the way you liked

you look so alive

but the garden is overgrown now

and the light doesn’t fall the way that it used to

it has been difficult to notice it

as the shift has been gradual

despite the abrupt nature of your leaving

you are no longer present here

and the house has been torn apart

overtaken with cobwebs

void and disrupt

it has become

i want you to come back. i do not know where i am.

to say i love you

a letter for my muse

KISSES!

NIGHT;

& DAY;

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

i am thankful for new friendships and rebuilding and reconstructing older ones. for the ocean, for queen, for sleep, for d’angelo, for jenny and for the body wrap from shoops, for tears and heartbreak, for the grieving process, for laundry days and for the enormous amount of possibility that exists in the future.

i feel as if time is moving ever so quickly and there is no sign of it slowing down coming any moment any time soon. i am striving to find mindfulness in every minute. its difficult. especially on days like today when i slept four hours last night. i am wrecked. in other news: nikole and i are driving to san francisco on thursday with queen for a little while. there is nothing like getting away from this city and escaping to such a mecca of utopian oblivion and then coming back to it. i carry the good back with me and it makes the mindfulness thing more effortless here.

gratitude;

for d’angelo, jenny, amy k, lily rose, virg, barry, kaitlyn, sony, nima, dad, nikole, anna, robin, karen

for queen and corbin

for being given the gift of the ability to create and dream

for fantastic stories and novels

for my mother and for her unconditional love. for the 22 years we spent together. for teaching me how to love others selflessly. you will always rest within my heart.

all the glory that the lord has made

and the complications you could do without

when i kissed you on the mouth
