the waiting outside
Actually, I’ve been waiting for 54 years of my life. Waiting for the lottery to favor me. Waiting for my turn, for the other to appear, waiting for a response. Waiting for tomorrow. It is the spiritual bus stop, the expectation of being picked up—does the timetable still hold true? In the waiting, events pass

box me in
It started early, being judged on how quickly you could force the rules into the right slot.A boxed-in way of thinking. And if it didn’t fit, they tinkered with you, as if it were just a loose screw.A stigma you eventually came to believe yourself. © E n i s ∞ r song: Through the

A World Breathing in Silence
A drizzly rain hung over the city square. People hurried past, coats pulled tight, eyes fixed on the pavement. Among them stood a lonely mime player. Here face was painted white, a single teardrop drawn beneath one eye. She wore a black hat that seemed just a bit too large for here narrow head. Without

old pattern
It’s the old patterns that keep you stuck. Patterns of “never good enough” or “it’s nothing anyway.”Like the curious magpie, spread your wings and make a fresh start. It’s time to focus on healing and growth! © E n i s ∞ r song: Mutability (A New Beginning Is in the Offing) – David Sylvian

the path to peace
The path to peace is usually symbolized by a dove. Peace and reconciliation, the white color for purity and innocence. The olive branch represents new life and the hope for a better future after times of hardship.It is an invitation to inner peace, acceptance, and the spreading of peace and compassion. © E n i

colorful
Revealing my colors.Though I may favor black, the depths within me shine in many hues. © E n i s ∞ r song: Blackwater – Rain Tree Crow Black is not the absence of color, but the gathering of all stories.

mirror
I am fascinated by the rise of sunflowers in my garden. Like majestic giants, they reach for the sky, open to offer their pollen to anyone in need. Nature is a mirror. © E n i s ∞ r song: Sun – Hania Rani The world needs ‘gezellig’

recenter
It’s not about the mistakes themselves, but about what you’ve learned from them —if there even is such a thing as a mistake. It’s about finding your center, and just like in life, that center is never a perfect balance.Your thoughts shift from left to right, from high to low, shaped by what you believe

towards you
You are a sunflower, radiant and true,Swaying softly in the tender wind.I hear your whispers weaving through the air,A quiet song of gentle growth. Your crown unfolds with patient grace,Welcomed by sweetness,Bathed in a light of wonder. © E n i s ∞ r song: Growing Up – Peter Gabriel My ghost likes to travelSo

free the mind
Have compassion for yourself, nothing is better or inferior. You are a radiant link in a greater whole, a butterfly on a journey through a grand adventure. Take the time to let your wings gain strength for the next flight. There is nothing but time. © E n i s ∞ r song: Children Of

artful decay
There’s a certain beauty to be found in decay. What was once smooth is now wrinkled, discolored, and shrivelled.A work of art in itself. © E n i s ∞ r song: Children of the Sun – Dead Can Dance

oppressing wind
Overboard. On an overcrowded, heaving sailing ship, chained like slaves, an unexpected storm breaks loose. The battle of life and death begins when the captain decides to “set his cargo free.” Sonett is released; her desirable body apparently still brings a high price on the slave market. Syoss, on the other hand, though in perfect

threatening presence
Remember, you always hold the choice: to bask in the brilliance of the spotlight or retreat into the safety of the shadows. These are shifting forces, to be summoned with intention when the moment calls for them. © E n i s ∞ r song: Shadow On the Wall – Mike Oldfield The spotlight reveals

soul search
I believe that many things have a soul. A city, an object, but certainly animals.Out of the blue, this dog crossed my path and, without prior arrangement, posed for my lens.The soul of a proud Parisian captured in a single photo. © E n i s ∞ r song: Rain Dogs – Tom Waits The
