The Weight of Dreams
We came from very ordinary places. Lived in very ordinary places Studied in very ordinary places And ate in very ordinary places

Bittersweet chocolate
Bittersweet chocolate, cold delight, Melts like dreams in velvet night. A dance of dark with sugar’s kiss, A taste of sorrow, wrapped in bliss.

Ions of the Ocean Birds of a Feather
Today upon awakening I heard Sweetie Bird, my parakeet tweet. I turned on the news! Although I do not live by the ocean in Riverside, I am addicted to the ocean as a powerful source of positive energy. The song was in my head all morning. So, I wrote it down as poetry turning it into a song to accompany the video story. This is not about me! It is about creating a time for meditation in this chaotic dystopian world on Earth in the year 2025. I used a lot of my photos and videos as well as my routine animation from my and wild imagination from my dreams. It is not about me! It is about humanity.
