Castles in the air

Resurgence

I feel sick, not being seen; I don't belong.  
I wanna scream a deeper truth without yelling.

For a while I felt this piece didn’t reflect the feelings/thoughts behind it & considered changing its title.
Eventually (& ironically) it taught me the value of listening to your art when it speaks back, allowing it to change the artist.

Sick of all the yelling

Dark Energy (1)

"The main task in the coming era is something else: a radical renewal of our sense of responsibility. Our conscience must catch up to our reason, otherwise we are lost."  - Vaclav Havel

A black hole to another Earth.
Gravity pulling, not wanting to let go of me. 
Sometimes I wish to go back, but the discomfort keeps reminding me that I’ve been swept away to another Earth, where things look the same and not, where I’m in everything and the “I” is not.
