Adventure

I'm Home.

Sea Shanty

Enveloped

Tomorrow, I head back West!
(unfortunately not by rail)
My mind is swirling with thoughts,
while I slowly pare down possessions in order to zip the duffel.

Recently, it's been hard to differentiate
my heart from my head.

as my brother bluntly put it:

'you better get your head on straight so you can come out here and kick ass'

Nutrients

Nostalgia

gets me every time, single tear.

Fuerza

' In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it.'

Carry Within

Wind Horse

Photography

My love for photography
(to put it lightly)
is obsessive.

I can't live without it.

Water of Life

'Drinking is a way of ending the day'

Friday Mood

Into the Trees

'80, baby.

Paris

Now. Please.

Art History

If you're one of the two people who follow my blog,
you know my obsession for Minoan Art & Greek Mythology.

Apollo

god of light and the sun;
truth and prophecy;
archery; medicine and healing;
music, poetry, and the arts

Marnin'!

Lets start the day with a little atmospheric perspective, eh?
Villa of Livia

Swish Color

First Love Burns Brightest

Man, I'm a sucker for period pieces....Love.

I idolize this woman.

Shot of the Day

Spinning

Something to get the blood pumping!

Dream & Do

Time gun ready?

I shall stay until the wind changes. 

Lake Effect Snow

You can't tell by the looks of this sad snap,
but we're having quite the
'Lake Effect Snow' here in the Chicago-Land.
It's coming down in violent sheets.

Silent roads, and trackless streets... a rare sight.

I'm on the set of a Frank Capra Film.

Spirit of Adventure

Proverb

'Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.'

Travel Bug

Someone recently asked me:
"What do you want to do for the rest of your life, lulu?"

my answer:

Trek the Globe

Scout & Atticus

' There just didn't seem to be anyone or anything Atticus couldn't explain.'

Morning Oddity

As I've mentioned in previous posts...

Every morning, immediately after waking, I start singing a single song that my dreamy subconscious left behind. (or humming)

*Every single morning* The spectrum is endless.

This morning it was:


I woke in the night belting out this song.
I'm a chronic Sleep-Talker, but this is new ground...
Sleep Singing.

This is divine.

A place to Rejuvenate the body, mind and soul.
Retreat, Please.

On the Turntable

Voice Speaks

We're all Stardust

Before Sunrise

Celine: If there's any kind of magic in this world, it must be in the attempt of understanding someone, sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed, but…who cares, really? The answer must be in the attempt.

Peristyle

They had the right ideas.

Pure Comfort

I need this.

Cream of the Crop

Adventure

The Nature of Mind

Bardo

I'm seeking something, somewhere.

It's neither here nor there.
it's been an impendent search for
Self.
Exasperation
only scrapes the surface of this
tormenting void.
