The thief left it there,

there in the window,

the shining moon.

- Ryokan

We’re on a journey in this strange, but beautiful world.

More often than not, we cling to routine and certainty because they offer us assurance and stability in a chaotic universe.

There is a balance to be found in surrendering ourselves to chaos; the forces that cause our paths to twist, break, bend, and flow.

Behold, the beauty of twists, breaks, and bends in the branches of trees, rivers that wind like thread, and roots that reach like veins.

Enjoy each fleeting moment and experience your journey deeply, for what you have today will be carried off along its own path tomorrow.

Look closely at all you see, for you will find yourself in all things and find that all things are within yourself.

There is no thing that exists in isolation, and in this forest of life we are never alone.

Our eyes and minds tell us one thing, while our hearts and souls often tell us another.

Images can communicate the unspoken dialogues held within the heart.
