Kettle-holes and canyons



Pothole (or kettle-hole) is also a term for a formation in rivers caused by a whirlpool eroding a hole into rock. The abrasion is mainly caused by the circular motion of small sediments such as small stones in the river. The interiors of potholes tend to be smooth and regular.

Things we gained in the fire

To cascade

Fungus


A mushroom is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground on soil or on its food source. Depending on the type, it can be used for cooking, poisoning, healing, hallucinating or dyeing wool or starting fires.

Unlike the leprechauns, we keep our gold in the sky

Reaching rocky waters

Flutter by, butterfly

We will become silhouettes




"I've got a cupboard with cans of food, filtered water,
And pictures of you and I'm not coming out
Until this is all over
And I'm looking through the glass where the light bends
At the cracks
And I'm screaming at the top of my lungs pretending
The echoes belong to someone
Someone I used to know

And we become silhouettes when our bodies finally go"

Suiting up

Not only crocodiles cry tears


Coming home to roost


For that which cannot be held or caged



Filling skies and hearts with hope, intertwining itself with life, shouting to the world: this is who i am! See me! Feel me! Take me in!









Silenced only by the night.

The Punchbowl


A waterfall whereby water descends in a constricted form and then spreads out in a wider pool.

The Gateway



“The whole fauna of human fantasies, their marine vegetation, drifts and luxuriates in the dimly lit zones of human activity, as though plaiting thick tresses of darkness. Here, too, appear the lighthouses of the mind, with their outward resemblance to less pure symbols. The gateway to mystery swings open at the touch of human weakness and we have entered the realms of darkness. One false step, one slurred syllable together reveal a man's thoughts.”

- Louis Aragon

Greens and Blues




Where the sun meets the sea

"You play the strings of my heart
like a gypsy guitar from wherever you are
No matter how far you may be
where the sun meets the sea,
is where you will find me,
and I know that I've never been here before

When you touch me I fall away
to the place where the sun meets the sea
I surrender my heart and soul
where I know you've been waiting for me"

- Jason and deMarco







Somewhere over the rainbow...



We have not the reverent feeling for the rainbow that a savage has, because we know how it is made. We have lost as much as we gained by prying into that matter.” - Mark Twain


The Gulls


"Gulls—the larger species in particular—are resourceful, inquisitive and highly intelligent birds, demonstrating complex methods of communication and a highly developed social structure..."

A seagull, a goat and a seal walk into a bar...
