A Thanksgiving celebration

0

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, perhaps even my favorite day of the year. Although I’m not always proud to be an American, Thanksgiving is one thing I appreciate about America. Here is documentation of our Thanksgiving this year.

Because I think cranberries are so pretty when they’re cooking…

Only three gourds since we’re a small family – one for each of us.

Walk in the Park

As I walked along on an Autumn day and took this picture, I couldn’t help but think of Beach House’s Walk in the Park

Untitled I

Thinking perpetuates thinking

What’s past, what’s ahead, what’s now?

Questions unanswerable, but knowable.

Floating in time

Floating in time

I was rescued by the past

The present doesn’t exist

And the future is too far ahead

Image, look

What you see is what you get

Don’t be fooled

Hidden behind the curtain lies the same thing you see in front of it

 

What’s that? You know

You told me. Or have you forgotten?

An Ode to Love

0

Dabbling in a bit of poetry…here’s the first of a few to come.

 

Start. Stop.

Always fading.

Consistency hides in the background,

peaking out when it desires.

 

You. Me.

One, two. The same? Separate?

Similar, and each our own.

But together once in a while

 

Loving, hating

Never liking

Talking in whispers

Scared of what might come out

 

Always hoping

Never satisfied

With the constant almost

That defines our ways

 

Regret, fulfillment

Too scared to accept either

So both lurk above

Our very distant bodies

 

Forward or backward

Which way do we go

When uncertainty leads the way

Time will tell our fate that lies ahead

“I Follow Rivers”

A nice little video encapsulating Blue Is The Warmest Color, such a beautifully emotional film, along with the best song in the film, Lykke Li’s “I Follow Rivers.”
