taking the train to Bolzano was my introduction to Italy—I saw the unbelievable mountains for the first time, along the train line.

After reading Atlas Shrugged with my dad in 2019, I’ve felt sort of different about trains; like they’re voyeurs of money $$$.

After reading the folklore from the pre departure meetings, I could see the mountains as sacred, haunted spaces 👻.

poem:

i’ve

wanted a Polaroid Instant Camera

since high school. at first for the trend, take pictures of friends.

it’s been a while and I want one again

with my own money!

for art 🙂

And here I took a film-style photo with the iPhone I’ve had for two years now 🙂 using the Panorama setting—Brigham, the photographer, even noted this and said          he might need to try the style

it’s like you can get away

wth creating what you want

in effective ways?

with what you have?

Like the farms out their were contrived, but they grew on their own, originally, without any effort done by a farmer, in the wild forest. : )

Love being followed,

behind your back you can feel stares

of ancient sculptures

Watching you leave the fortress

Just a museum.

Did you

have a good visit? Enjoy, you’ll never see her again. 💝  love love love to have met.

You ever meet a pretty girl (museum) and know you’ll forget each other, but having met changed everything? You’re more interesting now? Again.

giant amethyst crystal displayed in a cave.

@ the m.m.m.

poem:

ughh reaching out for something you don’t even want…

no need to pity.

crystals in a false cave; false words in an SMS. blue & grey bubbles… don’t really need to be seen.

Amethyst is known to decrease anxiety nd depression, raise spiritual awareness.

Sending images is a love language; texts say more than you assume you are saying—you can’t really hide behind a screen ^.^. It’s all real,

even more than you think it is.

Would you touch an object in a museum, if it were really beautiful? if it were forbidden
