In this house where I paint my mind,
My colors are emotions,
My canvas the sky.
In my perfect paradise, I've painted every night,
I look to find myself inside
But i don't recognize.
I'm survived by pieces..
I'm alive in moonlight,
I hope you're resting peacefully
My mind wanders restlessly
Say goodbye, Goodnight to everyone
Pack myself up and fly to the sun.
Wrap myself in silence
Wrap myself in rain
Wrap it up,
Pick it up, send it out again.

Simplicity breeds Serenity?

Have you ever found that you have too many thoughts in your head?
all striving to get your undivided attention, your mind becoming a raucous mixing pot of noise and color?
I have.
Life Thru a Lens is my take on everyday happenings. the things that inspire, the things that intrigue.. the lesser acknowledged things too..
from an inspiring sunset to the smell of freshly cut grass after a storm..all things, big and small effect us. Sadly as the days blend together we fall into despair, fear grips us easily, exhaustion hugs our minds like creepers clinging the walls. Each and every day deserves praise for its beauty..a summer day is equal in its own way to a morning veiled in snow.
There's so much more to life than what we already take for granted.

as an aspiring photographer, i see things in a number of ways before i settle on the angle that pleases me most. we all do this in our own ways i guess, in everyday life we judge, interpret and create meaning for countless instances and images. A lonely woman shedding a tear can be,in an instant, the most beautiful thing one person has seen, while for the next-it may create other emotional feelings, like sadness or loneliness. everyone is different, and it's our differences that make us unique while bringing us together.
Me, i find beauty in simplicity..and find peace in that.
so here's an idea, take the time (any time) to pay attention to something you have learned to overlook. whether it's a moment of complete and comfortable silence, the sound of a storm or the fresh morning air, while the world still sleeps. I dare you to find something beautiful and magical in something different.
kids are watching ants while adults are stepping on them. some things just shouldn't be forgotten.
