“When we look up at the sky, we are trying to find the way back to ourselves” ~Jostien Gaarder

“But the sky...

cumulonimbus clouds are 

stacked 

and banked 

to the stratosphere, 

and the lowering sun 

has bronzed 

and brassed 

and blushed 

them. 

These are clouds 

to make you long 

for wings. 

These are clouds 

that leave you not knowing 

what 

to believe. 

~Michael Perry

“I wonder if the ocean smells different on the other side of the world.” ~J.A. Redmerski

“When you approach something 

to photograph it, 

first 

be still with yourself 

until the object 

of your attention 

affirms your presence. 

Then 

don't leave 

until you have captured 

its 

essence.” 

~Minor White

CIRCLES OF LIFE

Everything

Turns, Rotates,

Spins,

Circles,

Loops, Pulsates,

Resonates,

And

Repeats.

Circles Of life

Born 

from pulses of light,

Vibrate

to breathe

While spiraling

Outwards

For Infinity

through

the lens of 

time,

and into

a sea of 

stars

and

lucid dreams.

Poetry by Suzy Kassem

“Walk soft, like whispers.” ~Aimee Bender

“I did not want to think 

about people. 

I wanted the 

trees, 

the scents 

and 

colors, 

the shifting shadows 

of the wood, 

which spoke a language 

I understood. 

I wished 

I could simply 

disappear 

in it, 

live like a 

bird 

or a fox 

through the 

winter, 

and leave the things I had
glimpsed 

to resolve themselves 

without me.” 

~Patricia McKillip

“Happiness is a sacred bliss.” ~Lailah Gifty Akita

“Good weather 

will do this 

to people, 

bond them 

in their 

gratefulness.”
