Hyde Isle, November 2024
Contrasted with "Neighborhoods" and others, "Hyde Isle" is very experimental; my premise is: often — sometimes, Hyde Park feels reminiscent of a shore-town — an island perhaps. Seagulls squawk overhead on rooftops and light-poles; the fog gets thick, and rolls over the fluctuating hills and slopes; covering churches, homes, and morning commuters; the distant-view is calm, the lighting is soft — I can practically hear and see the pseudo-waves crashing against the pseudo-shore-line.

Fish Out of Sea , November 2024
A fish washes into a sea-puddle; bounded and stuck, misses the vastness of the ocean — but moments afterwards, or what feels like an eternity, gets washes back by a high tide.

How Thoughts Manifest, September 2024
In attempt to simplify my life; the way I view life and go through life — I've allowed the anxieties of various thoughts to be the enemy. I need to work on identifying my anxieties faster, before they establish themselves as an enemy/threat.

Romanticizing My Biking Experience, September 2024
I really dislike riding around Boston; between them big-ugly pickup-trucks intentionally, ignorantly speeding pass, and the entitled-SUVs — biking anywhere on the streets is hellish. Side-note: cars, and car-infrastructure is killing the planet, the solution is not planting more trees, it's removing car-infrastructure from this earth — full-stop.

Sun-Kiss, September 2024
Have you ever been sun-kissed; it's nice, and it's only ever a sun-kiss if it is tolerable, meaning, the sunlight isn't harsh, or damaging.

They Talk, and They Gossip, August 2024
I've been told to enter a cluster of trees with respect, patience and humility. Our energies are felt; our intentions are felt — and to be embraced by them; be welcomed and harmonious with them, we must at the very short-instance of entering, decide to return to nature.

Watering Trees, Hot Days, Hot Dogs, August 2024
On hot summer days like these — dogs on walks panting, tongue out, sluggish; pedestrians hanging right to avoid sunlight, irritated, uncomfortable, sleepy — the trees are often ignored; very ironic. We need to prioritize our trees; water them, protect them and advocate for them.
Anxiety, Tree Canopies & A Salamander, August 2024
Anxious all-throughout the day — I felt fatigue, confused and tempered; I was not myself. But, up high, looking above the trees felt wonderful, and down-low, to see a salamander, felt wondrous.

Pleasantly Vulgar, July 2024
I was repeatedly muttering: "ahh beautiful — o'yeah, beautiful," before my friend mentioned the trees were all dead — I didn't even notice, I was admiring the lighting, the composition — the beauty of the scene — it was pleasantly vulgar — even when the trees were dead, they still demanded presence and my admiration.

A Day and an Adventure With Music, June - July 2024
I had spent a day at the Harvard Arboretum — I was up a hill — there, among the trees, and here, under a Black Oak tree.
I had spent an hour at the Harvard Arboretum — I was on a bench, people-watching and playing the ukulele.
