I haven't painted in so long. I've had mini sparks of inspiration here and there to get my supplies out and just start. But I always end up resisting it. Or I'm too lazy to actually do the work. The motivation in me to do things this week has dwindled down a lot compared to [...]
cycles of life in the form of oval-shaped symbols of existence and non-existence socio-economic backgrounds through labor and digestion fast-food industries to farmland America to vegans and fitness buffs to children and their children shells of all varieties cracked, broken, smooth, intact, colored, white, spotted or not. the yolks of continuity boiled, beaten, scrambled, poached, [...]

without any cushion to fall on a guarantee to lean on an ally to depend on risk is everything. make or breaks the existence prolongs or delays progress unpredictable by nature risk is dangerous an opportunity of difference chances weighed either way hope renews itself risk is potential is it a right to not do, [...]
I don't think butterfly petals is their official name. I don't know the name of this flower at all. It was so eye-catching though.

natural, true living you. no human problems to fester over or food to prepare. the world is what you think it to be no lanes to stay in or standards to live by. you, naturally beautiful peaceful true.
the stove was red hot, lit like firecrackers blood in panic. the kettle yelled for help, screaming. sirens rushing as the smoke signaled quick! quick! hush hush, breathes heartbeats. pound. pound. pound........ lifeline stopped. stove turned off. moments. of. silence. burner becomes cool. tea leaves scatter to the very bottom of the cup.
