2024
2024 comes to a close
a slamming shut of a book
you can’t undo the words your eyes consumed
the words graffitied into your brain
plastered with nonsense, bigotry, and pain.
───※ ·❆· ※───
2025 starts with a power-washer
erasing the bafflegab, the phobias,
and the answer to “what’s in the box?”
our hydrant full of friendship
it leads to community, a mural painted in the heart
the hopeful road before you,
what are you waiting for?
let’s get to work,
let’s start.
(✿^‿^)
My intent is mutual aid,
my intent is to live and love purposefully,
my intent is for self-care and self-respect,
my intent is to live a life worthy of being remembered.
May we all create community and care.
bridges
Bridges connect places; Times; People.
O what connections in past unfolding and in future recursive paths unending.
centrifuge
A centrifuge of thoughts
—dreams spun down—
yields to a garden of tranquility
the mind open and in the present; unfurled and untangled.
“If you Care to Find Me, Look to the Western Sky”
When the sun sets are on a particularly dark day, may you realize sunsets contain the beauty and richness of what is to come.
gratitude to my teachers
Art can be cute, funny, serious, and bare the soul of the artist.
While not the most talented artist, throughout my life I’ve always been drawn to the artistic lens. Mostly been into photography for the last decade but in the past I’ve been into music, ceramics, writing, design, sewing, and web design.
I’m hoping to revisit some of those, especially music as it has had such a big impact on my life. And also start new photography endeavors.
I have such gratitude for the various teachers of various art I’ve had over the years.
Teachers, know your reach and instillation of your art reaches farther than you can imagine and that your efforts teach the next generation something about uniquely expressing oneself that is one of the most valuable lessons available.
gratitude extends to the sky
🍂 Gratitude extends towards the sky
Branches full of change,
Winds that carry the sweet scents of new adventures
Letting the essence of this season spill into our bodies, drenching our hearts with the divine abodes.
Many thanks is in order for all the lovely beings that cultivate and endeavor to create a better world. May you continue to harvest the fruits of the heart. 🙏
on transition in 2024
🏳️⚧️ being trans means realizing my full self
im still the same person
just more of me
no longer granting control of my heart to anxiety
letting life in
soaring with a corvid curiosity
always becoming
never forgetting
holding
the e washing the dysphoria away
she/they
im that, okay?
anyway, i’ll just dance like no one’s watching
feeling the rhythms of life
being more fully me
arriving
e is magic and i have arrived ✨
