conformity

tonight was the opening of two photo exhibits--"coast to coast" at the image city photography gallery and "a photographer's path" at the high falls fine art gallery. there is some very interesting work at both shows, but in particular, megan monday's storytelling photos at the photographer's path exhibit really resonated with me.

and heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palms of your hand
and eternity in an hour”

go do it

there are secrets
there are places
there are places you can go to
they might tell you
yeah they'll tell you that you shouldn't
but do it - whatever it is
go do it - whatever it is
just do it - whatever it is
