Details #2 Light Catcher
For whatever reason, I’m fascinated by this building downtown. It’s weird, and interesting, and not really that photogenic, and yet, I keep finding angles I love, beautiful lines, shapes worth sharing.
I feel this way deeply about people too. So often, despite our progressive perspective, we overlook the details and thus, miss out on the diverse beauty that exists both externally and internally. We’ve got our narrow definitions, not realizing life is kind of more of a thesaurus, and less of a dictionary. We’re still doing what we’ve done for millennia.
Our inability to see nuance robs us of the richness found in who we encounter day to day.
Sure we’ve got some assholes in this lovely world of ours. And we all get irritated at the people who seem to have it all and whistle about it. I’d argue we need those people to show up too, just to keep us understanding where the parameters are, flowing in and out of all the in between.

All the flowers
Would have very extra-special powers
They would sit and talk to me for hours
When I'm lonely in a world of my own..

soft sunday
Small and driven and colorful. And just what it needs to be.

College Town Whimsy
A Bellingham vignette for your Tuesday.
Overcast
A sense of leaving scenes like this, as spring barrels its way into summer. I used to regret a change in the weather, but I don’t anymore. Not sure exactly what changed, other than on a good day I have appreciation for now, whatever it looks like.
Waves in Silence
When life feels uncertain, find salt water.
In the Finite
Wasted time will break a heart faster than any failure.
Don’t distract me with the useless, but fill this limited space up with intention and living.
Trying and caring, in no particular order, as long as each is present.
No manipulations, no perfections, just things as they desperately are,
as I am, in the finite.

Dreams and dreams only.
can you hear the music?

Life on Earth
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.
that ludicrous display last night!
The AURORA, from North Washington.
My partner has an app that alerts to these events. I can't tell you how many times we’ve had the conversation where there would be an aurora, but it’d be too cloudy to see anything. PNW FTW.
Last night though, we were given the most incredible hours long gift.
Unbelievable.
Shoreline
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 :-)

Inbetween
Right on the cusp of summer,
as if nature knows what follows, and comes out veins blazing.

Pressure is a privilege- Billie Jean King
Cinema
That wanderlust..
creeping in like cinema.
Give me something different.
