We paint with dream colors, then grieve when reality is black & white. The flaw isn't in reality, but in our brush.

I didn't read you I remembered you. Before your words were on my screen, I knew those eyes. The silent promise, empathy untold, the strength you hide in gentle art, the stories your eyes can hold I was already writing them in my heart. Some eyes don't need to meet, to know they've met before.

good morning — new sky, same wings 🕊️☁️ #GoodMorningBluesky #MorningSky #NewDay

October came quietly, with golden light and soft endings 🍂 #HelloOctober #October1st #AutumnAesthetic #GoldenHour

Some conversations never need words. They live in the pause a hand that almost touches, then remembers itself. A look that stays after the eyes look away. The truest things are never said out loud. from mind to mind.

I didn't find more light. I just finally learned how to open the windows. #aesthetic #sunset #poetry #thoughts #healing

small joys - one daisy against the morning sky 🌼 #MorningBluesky #SimpleJoys #FlowerSky

Tonight's moon.......🌕

I carry a desert that learned how to bloom, stone in my bones, moonlight in my marrow. I hear the Nile as a prayer that never ends. If the mountains keep their silence, it's only so they can listen to us becoming. ​ #poetry #earth 🌍

morning mood ☕📖🌸

my night shift supervisor is doing her lamp inspection again. very serious business, do not disturb lol

good morning bluesky 💙🪴 my bougainvillea has a better morning routine than me lol, she wakes up at 6am, drinks sun, and minds her own business. i'm still trying to figure out coffee. hope you all have a terrific thursday too ☀️

This looked like a lost 90s cartoon scene lol @tiffanytroia.bsky.social - idk if it's AI or real but too wholesome not to share 😂🐐🐱 #catsofbluesky #cats #pets #wholesome

Rain on the window, warm light inside. Still thinking about our talk about alternating between warm/morning and moody/evening vibes - you were right, this one had to be moody. my art consultant @tiffany picked this one 🌧️ #RainyEvening #MoodyVibes #CozyHome #AutumnRain #WindowView #ArtConsultant

gently letting go of the summer light, one leaf at a time. what stays is not the season, but the words we held onto. #poeticexpressions #BookSky #poetrycommunity #AutumnEquinox

Moon perfectly suspended in the rainbow.Captured during a rare clear winter morning over Scotland.

Tonight's stack: Zola — Chefs d'Oeuvre, Trollope — Doctor Thorne & The Warden. "In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you." — Buddha Still learning. What are yours? #BookSky #poeticexpressions

My current TBR is starting to look like a history of ideas itself. From Meditations to Crime and Punishment. Which classic should I tackle first? #BookSky #ClassicBooks #TBR #DarkAcademia #BookCommunity

On my TBR! Love seeing authors in bookstores 📚

Yup - most amazing book stop with Henry Winkler in Santa Monica. Now you’ve really got to get a copy of I Disagree! ❤️

Saw a Zola quote today about how people don't read the whole book. Made me think of this one from him too: "If you ask me what I came into this life to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud." — Émile Zola For the few who do read to the last page 📚 #BookSky

Good morning ☕️ Drink water. Go outside. Be kind. Forgive someone. That’s it. That’s the path. #ActuallyHangingOut #MorningThoughts #OrganizingChaos #coffeetalk

fourth wing ruined me and i loved it. which one of these quotes lives rent free in ur head? mine is the dragon rider one tbh #booksky #fourthwing

I kept the swing after the kids went home. No telescopes tonight, just a lantern and a million eyes learning how to dream again. The sky still belongs to us, if we remember to look up. 🌌🌙 #poetry #nightsky #dreamers #moonknight #WritingCommunity

I really need a job, if anybody knows of somewhere looking to hire a good writer with connections in scientific academia and a few random folks in government please lemme know

"In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you." — Buddha Three old books, a cold coffee, and a Cairo night. Still learning the three things. ☕️

Woke up early and caught this on my morning walk today. No filter needed. 🌅🍂 Sometimes you just have to stop and breathe. Illinois in early fall is pure magic. What time do you get up to see this?

Just sitting there in the shade, like he owns the place. Same mood. #owl #birdphotography #birdwatching #photography
