I both love and fear the ocean. Its power and movement are un-tamable and absolute. At best, I’m part of it. At worst, all consumed. But I’d far prefer an ocean’s wrath to that of the misinformed passive observer. The scrutiny of false friends lays court for the trial of betrayal and a loss that […]
Polar opposites, you and I. One too many. The smoothest of translucent pastels and paints cohabitating. So oddly, with a legion of battled scared amazons. You inhabit the same being, me. Inside out, outside in. Both All Guardians of my light.

Black, yellow, purple and brown. Signs of death and decay. Proof of life, and the impact of pushing oneself too far in the pursuit of joy and excellence. You bruise still.
