Barcelo, Mayan Riviera

What a delightful trip with the family. Walks on the beach, rum & cokes, beautiful weather and beautiful people. It always ends too soon.

Life and death, energy and peace. If I stop today it was still worth it. Even the terrible mistakes that I made and would have unmade if I could. The pains that have burned me and scarred my soul, it was worth it, for having been allowed to walk where I've walked, which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, into, under, far in between, through it, in it, and above.

~ Gia Marie Carangi

Bliss

"No one needs a vacation more than the person who just had one."

You suppose you are the trouble
But you are the cure
You suppose that you are the lock on the door
But you are the key that opens it
It's too bad that you want to be someone else
You don't see your own face, your own beauty
Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.

~ Rumi

Inception

If we measured life by love, and not by time, perhaps death would seem more like an inception. When people say "his life was too short." or "he was taken too soon." - I feel like it's time playing that trick on us. To make us feel like our duty here on Earth is measured by a clock. What about the love we gained, the lessons we've learned, and the laughter we've shared? Perhaps death isn't as dramatic as we think. It's merely a beginning to a new step. Nothing more than a dream of our soul.

Erin Wasson

"I just believe, as totally hippy bullshit as that sounds, anything’s possible if you’re willing to grab it and make it your own. You look at Stevie Nicks. Did she have the most amazing voice in the world? Fuck — but she got on stage and she owned every molecule inside of herself and completely captured every molecule around everybody else in the entire room. She was the poster child for, ‘I don’t give a fuck, it’s about my soul and my spirit and my music, and you either dig it or you don’t.’ And that’s kind of my take on all this..."

I have too much going on in my brain
to just be a face, an image,
without a voice behind it.

Once Upon A Time

Let’s take a walk into our past,
Visit the future we should have had
Let’s forget our mistakes and talk over wine
This all made sense, once upon a time

You're beautifully far away...

- MF

The truth comes in whispers, after we have shut out all of the other voices around us.

Be still.

Rusty Cage

Too cold to start a fire
I'm burning diesel, burning dinosaur bones
I'll take the river down to still water
And ride a pack of dogs

I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my...
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

~ Johnny Cash
