Carry your burdens as best you can

Access not encouraged even if you can go around...

The things you and I aren’t supposed to do

It’s knowing you can draw

The beginner’s mind knows there is magic

And make you feel like you’re on the edge of a cliff

The “Yes, buts”

You may be on your knees, you may have to crawl

You have to do this

man in white t-shirt standing in front of window

You put yourself in that cage

woman smiling face

From gratitude to for granted

red full moon covered by clouds

When you can accept what is

Face to face is still what works best

man sitting while holding glass of beer

Betrayal

smiling girl in white crew neck t-shirt and blue denim shorts

Every interaction is a training session

Seventy

rule of thirds photography of pink and white lotus flower floating on body of water

The world could use a few more true samurai

woman in beige coat smiling

Confidence is a good thing until it isn’t

multicolored abstract painting

Creating art is a dangerous profession

grayscale photo of a man wearing hoodie

There is so much tragedy

building hallway

Just making it up as we go

yes text on brown sand

Let me tell you a little about yes and no

stacked boat near sea under white sky

The one thing holding you back

blue lighted mushrooms

Don’t lose the magic

shallow focus photo of boy in red crew-neck T-shirt

Resisting resistance

rocks and sea with silhouette of lighthouse in background

The gods I know

body of water surrounded with trees during daytime

The Bottomless Bog

man in gray crew neck shirt covering his face with his hand

Jason’s weekend

person holding a register early to vote sign

Democracy at work

man standing on dimmed area

What branding is really about

man waking on rope

Work-life balance is a ruse

brown wooden ladder back chair

The wasted years

You are not what you think you are

greyscale photography of skeleton

Don’t worry about what others think they think
