nostalgic day

exactly one year ago on this day i stood in the garden of one of the most pompous kings in history. later, i climbed the eiffel tower stair by stair in the rain. it was there, in paris, on this evening one year ago when i received a text from the u.s. about mr. michael jackson's death.

i sit here today in remembrance of michael and the year that has passed. i confidentially say it has been a year of much progress and many necessary lessons. i would like to think that michael has had an amazing year too. i am grateful for being alive. i am honored to surrounded by many amazing people.

make sure you live life day by day and you MUST stop to smell the roses.

death valley excursion

I took a lonely hike to the very top of a

gargantuan mineral. It was a magical place, away

from any path, overlooking hundreds and

hundreds of miles of isolated desert where

thousands of souls rest. Only there I found desert

fields of miniature daisies the size of a dime

nestled in the ancient rock formations untouched

by human kind.

a mosaic canyon in a valley of many deaths

High speed winds roared ferociously up this

twisted canyon picking up added amounts of

black pebbles and propelling them with all its

might at next visible subject. Mother nature had

no sympathy, not even for us.
