The coolness of night
As I face life’s ugliness
Finally, calmness
Facing Forward

The coolness of night
As I face life’s ugliness
Finally, calmness

Walking past this church
Light searing into the sky
Quiet song of nights

Our lives are motion
There is beauty in action
The drumming rainfall
Wishing you a restful night.
Meditating on things that hamper growth. Insecurities fill that for me. Especially as they’re often unfounded and irrational, to the point of annoyance. Well, that’s how I feel when I can step back and look set them rationally.
Writing is one way I cope. Putting them down on paper helps me deeply.
Also, this shows me the power of daily affirmations. Taking the time to deliberately challenge these destructive mental models…actually, proactively challenging them, is important. Stay ahead of the corrosion.

I adore this shot
The way light’s splaying outwards
Cutting through the dark

Though the air has cooled
These flowers resist autumn
Sunlight’s grasp waning
I took this photo in Edmonds, a small town north of Seattle. I’ve lived most of my life in its orbit. My heart has a dear place for this place.
