Origins.

Do you wonder where the self resides
Is it in the head or between your sides
And who would be the one who will decide
Its true location
-andrew bird, dark matter

There is so much going on.

War, unemployment, immigration policies, environmental issues, social barriers and bridges, innovation, technology, genocide, trafficking, you name it. When sitting down to look around at the surrounding world, it can be disheartening.

However,

Do you ever take the time to notice the old couple sitting outside of the ice cream shop enjoying an ice cream cone in the sun?

Do you sit down to read a book, magazine article, poem, etc. and come across a line that makes you stop dead in your tracks?

Do you listen to a song and hear a lyric that shakes you? Or a tone in the voice of the singer that lets you know they sincerely get something that others often fail to convey?


This is my blog.
I aim to collect all of these things - the old couple's ice cream date, the line from the book, the lyric. Pictures that somehow relate to the sentiment they create will more than likely be included. These moments of beauty whether in a dark or bright sense are where I find motivation.

This is where my 'self' resides.
