I am everything you want, I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you that you wish you could be
I say all the right things at exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you, and I don't know why

Today's my birthday so I'm posting my favorite bird, the Tufted Titmouse. (Even if it wasn't my birthday I probably would've posted a Tuftie...they are so cute!)

Yearning, a thing
with claws—
it cuts the soul to shreds
in pursuit
of what it wants
I hide it well
beneath a veil
of nonchalance
yet it haunts me still,
relentlessly
& so I beg him—
please,
come to me
remove the veil,
reveal my naked
yearning soul
& let desire
take over.

now reading : the history of a tenth of a second by Jimena Canales
“it wasn’t until the 1850s that instruments could recognize a tenth of a second, and, once they did, the impact on modern science and society was profound.”

My great grandmother painted for fun. I grew up with one of her paintings – a stand of pine trees weighted down with heavy snow. I’ve always loved that painting so I thought I would create my own version. I hope you enjoy the results!

Been feeling a bit depresso and did a lil art yesterday. I ended up hating the paint i did and was really hard on myself despite this just being a therapeutic expression. Went back to it today with a clearer mind and color pencils. I wish I made different choices, but satisfied with the end result

a #sign—
some #augury

the dark #chaotic
mood I'm in

on #butterfly wings
& my heart opens
like a #sunflower
farewell the night,
the clouds,
the #moon—
light #takes me,
darkness gone.
