decide

Amanda Powell May 27, 2025

Someone else’s dreams,

or your own.

All that’s left is to decide.

the midst

Amanda Powell November 5, 2024

Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

Breakwater

Ogden Point, Victoria BC

I can’t help but be drawn to these elements, even in new places.

Bound/Influenced

Amanda Powell August 29, 2024

What it feels like to be a wave

Influenced by a small thing you can never touch,

Pushed and pulled always in motion.

To hold such force..

But only within the confines of

That small thing that binds you.

That thing that is smaller than you.

That thing you can never touch.

Red

Amanda Powell July 19, 2024

Red, existing in extremes,

unable to be anything but itself.

Commanding passionately at the far end of this visible spectrum.

Blue

Amanda Powell July 16, 2024

A simple kind of blue,

Collected, released, dispersed.

Allowed to exist in many states, and not end.

Blue feels hopeful. Blue feels… simply eternal.

Even when things around are complicatedly finite.

Alternate

Amanda Powell July 12, 2024

Mountains as the backdrop of a lake, or a small tide pool? ;-)

Atmospheric River

Amanda Powell June 3, 2024

This week I’m coming at you with all the Aquarius vibes. Clouds, water, air, space. A balance of lightness and weight.

Actually, I’m not too sure how that’s different from normal ;-)

Waves in Silence

When life feels uncertain, find salt water.

Life on Earth

Amanda Powell May 13, 2024

We’ve run away with possibilities and can’t see the utopia we already have.

We can’t see that we’re destroying it.

Or if we can, for whatever reason,

none of which I’ve heard is good enough

we don’t care.

Shoreline

Amanda Powell May 9, 2024

I went for overcast skies and when I got to the end of the trail, the sun came out. Take from that what you will :-)

Fear of Spiders

Amanda Powell April 26, 2024

I didn’t understand, and because of that I couldn’t see you.

All I knew was the current of fear, a choice to be swept up in this lack of rationality.

Missing the complexity, my large body terrified of your small one,

your entire existence gone in one decisive moment.

How powerful I was. How afraid.

Mornings

Amanda Powell March 28, 2024

One of those gloriously messy weekday mornings where we managed to get out the door early, good attitudes still in tact. I also had the wherewithal to grab my camera, given the conditions seemed conducive to drama over the lake. It’s a beautiful thing when plans work, and we get a nice little break from perpetual adaptation.
