Handwritten Notes:
on feel any pressure to
save the day. It is built
and a pause of time that
I crave.
The cremaster is in the
studio, where spirit meets
source.
When imagining what
may unfold in the days
ahead:
1. It could be the
wonder days of being
in appreciation of
all the beauty
before us.
2. These may be days - Rights
