Our profoundness to cognize of our own existence and to understand its inevitability of beginning and end in the vastness of time.

What we sense shapes our view of the world. 
To sense allow us to feel. Feeling allow us to perceive. It leads us to interpret the world around us. The apex of our interpretation of the world would be the form of art. And one of the best ways to enjoy being a human is by appreciating art.

We are here, sharing one planet and the same era, with exploding abundance of creativity than ever before. On what many before us have built, we are building and enriching and elevating it; It makes our creativity meaningful to all. Despite ugly threats are there and coming towards this common achievement, we keep cultivating our worlds. All these things might be gone one day in the far future, but still, it’s undeniable that it’s worth celebrating.

this being!

Swirling thoughts, 
flooding impressions, 
and oozing emotions, 
popping out in one simple shape.

Planet of tangled simplicity

It finally awoke and started coming out of the shell when the smile on the shell became not hypnotic enough to keep it in its sleep. 
 
Through a chasm of the shell, it slowly crawled out, the shell covered with the lingering memories of what was gone and the fearful numbness of what was to come. 
 
It slowly crawled out of the shell. To breathe new, chaotic, and sweet air. To get drunk by fresh dews. The world was about to be reborn with it. 
 
There it was, the day of metamorphosis!

Happy Metamorphosis Day

Wearing blue

At the ever-changing forever pond’s surface,  
My dearest and my cruelest selves meet.

We meet again

The memories so entrancing,  
filling her mind with visions,  
blooming a sweet confusion.

Fragrant dream of delusional memories

Walk into the misty path, where there’s no line between awakening and delusion.
Fixate your mind on the star. Don’t look at the poisonous promises.
Keep chanting.

Pause

Kior's still life

The portal opens in my hands. To the infinitely vast space where my mind feasts on. Knowledge, enlightenment, delights, empathy, and apathy; anything my mind can or cannot take grows and blooms. 
  
The sense of self expands wider and wider as the blooms grow. I get lost in the overwhelming sense of mightiness, vastness, or endlessness. They take over my mind; they take root in my mind; they grow their own ecosystem in my mind. The blooms feast on my mind.

Moods

Growth is destroying the universe that one is used to. 

Breaking the hard wall of the universe is tough. However, one gets stronger, bumping into the wall of the universe. And when one breaks it finally, another bigger universe appears next. 

One becomes stronger and bigger to fit the new universe, imagining the day to break the wall once more. Repeating this process, one learns to be resilient.

The shards of the broken universes prove that growth comes with scars. But also, one knows that the shards are evidence of breaking through obstacles.  

One will keep blooming into new universes.

Into a new universe.

Let's prance into a new season with joyful hearts. Remember the lightness of pure delight, the feeling that makes us defy the gravity of life's burdens. May your days be filled with joy!

Gifts from Kior

Is there something else beneath your smile?

Sometimes, your smile deceives even you. This smile that keeps being fabricated would strangle you a little by little. You might be burning up with your inner fire already, even without noticing, while the smile is choking you.
This piece is for everyone who is struggling to be seen as okay all the time and is trapped in the mold by their roles or given identities.

an odyssey of metaphorical self

This thing, called memory, is faint but vivid, far but close, and strange but intimate. We hold on to it to create our own world and keep it.

My mind soars into illusional clouds of dreaming.
Words and colors dance sparks, showering imagination.
What will unfold at the end of this glittering swirl, I don’t know. 
My mind is wandering joyfully through the moments of creating.

That Night

0x45b6057cf292fce6eefbcb666da433de4afa7a35

A dream farmer; from the world of tangibility to the world of psyche, she wanders, collecting seeds of dreams to sow in her grove. She waters her love and soul and grows the seeds into blooms. 
  
When the blooms are ripe and ready, the dream farmer will harvest their sweet fruit and cook new dreams.

Blue Dragoniris

We found solace in each other. In a language beyond words.

In dance-like footsteps, we strolled lightly, matching rhythm like a duet. As if we were one.

What do we see when seeing shit covered with glitters? 

Sparkles and glitters have the power to make things perceived as more valuable than they might be. The power that can deceive glancing eyes that don’t carefully gaze; The power that casts spells on the eyes to believe that what they see has value. Such a magical, superficial, and charming trick!

Do your eyes see what really is beneath the sparkles?

All that glitters is...

The first page of the metaphorical self's journey to a new world.
