“You can’t sit with us!” Just kidding, YOU SHOULD.

Sometimes I struggle to find the right caption that I presume many don’t even care to read. But it’s more for me, and those that might, than for the “others” – my FEW followers – IF I was to compare this account to almost anyone else… But “comparison is the thief of joy…” So here’s […]

#Home

June 10, 2018.Reading time 1 minute.

#Home. It should be a bigger word. Not too long ago, I moved miles…. from “home.” Footsteps led by a familiar friend. But, can’t help but see another view from this #track… on my way to a destination called Somewhere – constantly inspired by humans along the way. And when I look back, my path seems […]

Window Reflection

March 5, 2018.Reading time 2 minutes.

Never would I have imagined that I’d make it to Asia. One week in Tokyo confirmed that the world is meant to be seen, when you can— and learning a culture by living thru it is something a camera sometimes struggles to capture. I’ve been bit by the Travel Bug back before I can remember— […]

“I’m going to tell the story of several characters searching for happiness…”

September 3, 2017.Reading time 1 minute.

We are only here for ourselves. We are here to claim our happiness. “I’m going to tell the story of several characters who are searching for happiness without finding it. If they fail, it’s because they’ve been given or adopted ideas about happiness that don’t suit them: money, power, a good marriage, mistresses with long […]

Notes found from New York…

September 1, 2017.Reading time 2 minutes.

I got off at Motivation Station today. A stop I hadn’t seen in a very long time. It was as if it temporarily disappeared from my route, taken from me, and swallowed by my routine. This “adult life” is full of check lists and emails. It’s leaving for work at the same time and riding […]

It’s been said that our shadows are supposedly persons perceived without ego–and I have to say, it’s much more beautiful that way.

Training for Happiness.

August 30, 2017.Reading time 1 minute.

Standing at this platform, I was asked for directions in 3 different languages. Omniscience is not something I’m usually dressed in, but today I knew what their tickets said, where to point, and how to make strangers smile with sighs of relief. Leaving the Firenze Santa Maria Novella station, I am full. Full from adventure, full of […]

New York Isn’t a Place That Misses You…

July 28, 2017.Reading time less than 1 minute.

New York isn’t a place that misses you. But it sure as hell welcomes you back like you never left. Time capsules do exist. They’re distinctive yellow cars scattered all over, waiting for the raise of your hand. They’re speeding up the FDR, flashing your memory film in your #window view… NYC Taxi (at FDR […]

“Welcome to Tennessee, honey.”

December 13, 2016.Reading time 2 minutes.

“Welcome to Tennessee, honey.” The Nashville clerk said as she handed me my new plate. And there was something gratifying about this official transaction, erasing the hour spent in the DMV. Maybe it was because it was me, myself, and I tracing my steps from the North in my head as I stood there… Those […]
