Mostly right-brained. Has a soft spot for real human connection and ethical internal compasses. We’re made of star stuff. Humor is a whole love language. So is sarcasm.

We made it across the Wednesday threshold, so naturally, this is how I celebrate the arrival of Thursday as we push through the end of the week.

Constellation Ursa Major
Discovered 1993 my amateur astronomer Francisco Garcia Diaz using a 10" Newtonian Telescope
Distance 11 million light years
SN 1993J was a binary system until one of the stars drew enough mass off the other it exploded.

I took this photo almost a week ago in Thailand at a true ethical Elephant Sanctuary: Following Giants. There’s no filter, it was truly this beautiful.
Elephants are not props for exploitation: riding. entertainment. logging. IG posts. The viral videos of human interaction involves The Crush (1/2)

When you dream about hunting for the perfect chocolate chip cookie at the Farmer’s Market, of course you’d wake up craving that cookie…all morning.
It’s the only reason I put on pants yesterday and it was f*cking DELICIOUS. (Fresh baked from DeLaurenti’s btw)

It’s an odd feeling, wanting to be back home in Seattle (but not go back to the horrors of the US) after a grueling 2 days of travel & another one to go before I’m home. The last 2 weeks of shit politics?! I’d almost rather sleep on this bench at Tokyo customs & re-enter the country day after day.

By design, I’ve been in a peaceful place for the last several days. This is last evening’s sunset and it captures the internal vibe I’m looking to maintain.
