living in reality

there is nothing fake about the sun meeting the earth it happens every day sometimes you are fortunate enough  to see the synchronicity of wisps of clouds weather bringing blue skies cloudy skies sometimes you are fortunate enough to see the moment when colors  where light collides and blends into itself pink clouds bright orange…

playing songs

i have a song with cello it contains samples its beat is slow and soothing  there is a piano that plays and feels like a dark lit lounge an ethereal singer’s voice floats warmly  the air in this song… i can’t tell if it’s foggy or smokey  but it is thick light gets caught in…

things to remember 

1. There are good things in the world. 2. Sometimes they are small. 3. People will listen if you give them time and space. 4. People will work hard. 5. Not everything needs to be done or perfect.  6. But sometimes there are perfect moments. 7. A different point of view is a breath of…
