Goodnight Throwback to time well spent in Edinburgh 📚🥰

the world is too small and beautiful to ever settle down in one place, keep exploring. #MyTake

le parfum du monde et comment le nez nous renouvelle passé le danger de la nostalgie comment nous nous être magnifiquement vulnérable est une musique durable tu sais tu peux danser sur peu importe le ciel bleu ou outre...

cairns on tightropes vulnerable riding melodies here not remembering not wearing swear by feel breathable fire heart to heart rhythms warm hands palm poems mapless found lost in a scent a mad love one of breton's kids a cup and wand ware apples and pears golden stairs into the dawn

ladybugs and bearded irises a wild turkey peacocks its feathers for a few hens, a low scoot bug eating along mostly unseen in the overgrown mass of near burning green i wait and watch this ritual of assuredness

While I'm getting owl pictures this morning I hear a hummingbird so I turn to get pictures of an Anna's Hummingbird flying in his natural environment Low-light picture Shutter speed way slower than usual for hummers

( poets and i suspect witches too ) keep hot water on the ready reconstitution is elocution momentum reversing rain sum loom time capsule best memory we ever had a steam risen caught light cave we find spirit Moon in saunter belly dancing loam alluring belled black cherry ice cream #vss365

Summer slips downstream...

We are born with possibility All roads lead us somewhere Live with improbability How the hell did we get here Survive with vulnerability Swallowing tears and fear And death comes with inevitability Only the Gods know the year #poetry

beach waves slithering disappearing frothy bits cross tide reflections #dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #travelphotography #FUJIFILM

in an arched howl anticipation elation fines us in ways a shared smile unfastens us and lets us fall pieces and places we know to feel found

I never liked to sprint too quickly I'm just struggling to breathe I'm not really that fast anyway I knew I couldn't win the race so why compete? I'm much more drawn to the marathon steady strides conserving energy for important moments but am I going somewhere besides a finish line? #vss365

Happy Saturday from sleepy Jacques. #Caturday

Don’t blame me for numbing out too many feelings #tipsypoetry

Good morning and welcome to Fish For Tea Friday No matter what yesterday looked like, today is a fresh page waiting for a story of courage, kindness and a little bit of hope. Make it a good one. 🧡

Night night sweet dreamies Some days, all you can manage is the bare minimum. And that’s okay. Choosing not to demand more of yourself in those moments isn’t giving up, it’s an act of self-compassion. Sometimes, good enough really is enough

today I need to speak in free verse, no form to not confine my words and thoughts the wanderings of my mind I wonder as I wander about consumer labyrinths circling around and around are we hear we now feel we how every spiral connected your finger to mine we root and poems burst within us both

safe harbor a soul i wander about your scent a pantry morning...

Good morning welcome to Tippetty tap tap Thursday Courage isn’t the absence of fear, it’s choosing to take the next step despite it. You may feel scared, nervous or uncertain, but keep showing up. Sometimes, simply carrying on is brave enough. 🧡

Night night sweet dreamies Don’t let the negativity around you become the negativity within you. Leave the negativity behind, and rest knowing tomorrow is a new day.

Happy #ThickTrunkTuesday 💚💚 Don’t forget to hug your favorite tree today 🌳🫶🏻💚 #ForestFriday

Remember. The only one stopping you from wearing the antlered crown of a long dead forest god to work and demanding a raise from your startled boss is you.

I tried to sleep but the demon clawed my red eyes open and used a thorn to brace them permanently awake #poetry #horror

Night night sweet dreamies Please don’t forget to take care of yourself. The world is brighter because you’re in it, but even the brightest lights need time to rest, recharge and be cared for. Sleep well, and be as kind to yourself tomorrow as you are to everyone else

Night night sweet dreamies Before sleep finds you, take a moment remind yourself of one good thing about you & be sure to tell yourself something positive. Your heart hears every word you say.

Goodnight from the hills of Fife, catch you in the morning beautiful souls 😁

#vss365 #rose Lupine became a lawyer. Lily was a ballerina with the London Ballet. Rose stayed home and raised three beautiful children in her 3 bed detached house with a pool. But Ranunculus was the most fascinating and troublesome of all. She moved to a cottage in the woods and became a witch.

Feeling dizzy with the Speed of destruction As the world spins uncontrollably in every direction Heavy hearted and head weary Fearful of what tomorrow brings Hollow laughter and a jaded smile Despite it all finding strength To hold on for another mile Fighting battles only you know #poetry

I watch the mountain stream water frolics and plays around and over wood and stone I'm mesmerized by the movement and the music it plays it is a thing that acts according to its nature colored by my interpretation now I see no matter my nature I am at the mercy of interpretation #vss365

Through the dark of night Inbetween the silence A ghost remembered My restless mind Found your smile precious and blue Feint whispers of hurt As dawn broke Light swallowed the memory Burying you again #Poetry

black coffee sense of quiet tarot womb clothed she tends roses midsummer enrapt, silk dew mornings early evenings with bees readying to sleep she reads me, the star falls the awls of soul sewing what masks the hero journey wears on us mostly i pine for beauty and love internal and eternal

Night night sweet dreamies RIP Matthew Simon Riley 06.19.1969- 10.07.26 The FC’s beloved brother ♥️ Sometimes life reminds us just how precious today really is. Hold your loved ones close, say the words, make the call, give the hug. Love while you can

Gentle sky tonight 🩷

The arrogance of me believing I could untangle the knots in your life Playing the saviour Watching you descend deeper into chaos on repeat I've spent years fighting your demons An age wasted lost in your hurt To end where it began More fool than friend #poetry

Antigone is a clouds in my coffee Sandra Milo dreams never die only dreamers do as knowledge gained we take a road empathy seeks to take us on indignant with humiliation ignorance feeds loathing debris fields and sirens ongoing all to feel what is formless passing fingers through us #emoetry

gloaming crows are you awake dear aware of a ware wearing eons piled mosaic haphazardly connective tissue turtles all the way infinity like soul as immortal velvet stealth vibratto wise bearded irises clam shell theatrical we frolic back stage taking turns spotlight and silhouette #vss365

dusk at Green Island...

Night night sweet dreamies Before you fall asleep tonight, remember this… The person who needs your kindness the most is often the one looking back at you in the mirror. Be patient with yourself. Forgive yourself. Cheer yourself on.

Good morning welcome to Tippetty tap tap Thursday If the string breaks, then we try another piece of string. -Winnie the Pooh Not every plan works the first time, and that’s okay. Keep going, keep adapting, and don’t be afraid to try a different way

Boardwalks are my weakness

Various photos from yesterday. 😊

Good morning & welcome to Whiskers Wednesday What makes you happy? Try thinking about it a little more often. We spend so much time focusing on what’s next that we sometimes forget to notice what already brings us joy. Even the smallest moments can brighten an ordinary day.

Sometimes, all it takes is one small step. It can be bigger, but if all you can do is something small, that's good enough. Give yourself some grace, and take it one day, one hour, or even one minute at a time.

Night night sweet dreamies Some days are darker than others Asking for help is bravery, not weakness. We all need a hand to hold
