The above photo was taken on the day I understood. This piece was written on the day I remembered…

I believe that we must seek to always see that point in which the sky meets its reflection in the lake. That point where, if you squint your eyes just a little, the line of separation disappears. You wonder to yourself, “Is the lake really there? Is the sky really there? Are the lake and the sky one in the same?” Continue reading →
