ten minutes with a camera pressed against my face, leaving an indentation on my forehead that I could feel; seconds of raw uncertainty-- the flowers left their colors behind. | #words #photography #sonya6000 #gmaster

Perspective | I'm sitting in the sun 9:12 a.m after a cup of Nestcafè and am so satisfied that the birds found the little pile of seeds I left for them-- they're so clever, those little birds, to find the seeds under the three tiered bath I put out for them to enjoy. I think to myself, I'm having my very best life, I really am. Until I remember that I don't have that big house with a pool and and that I don't know when I will have that again, and that I don't really know what I'm doing with my life-- the birds fade into the sky and the flies in the yard, why are there so many fucking flies in this yard, buzz in my good ear. | #poetry #mernwrites #naturephotography #gmaster #thehuntingtongardens #photography #sonya6000 (at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens)

Life begets life, nothing ever truly dies. | #StillLife inspired by #FridaKahlo -- #life that she gives me after #death. ---------------------------- I resisted a filter, brightened it up a bit to please your eye, although I wanted to keep it dark for me--to strain my sight, force myself to look for what I really want to see. See the #seeds in the #womb See the #stamen See the #green #cactus representative of life and pain quickly forgotten after birth. #sonya6000 #gmaster #photography #Art #artist on #Sabatical #frida

oh love, you don't get to say who I am. I've given you everything, but that. | #morning #poetry #photography and #coffee -- #helloworld #ImAwake

Making A Poem | -- Ribbons of incense penetrate the walls making them warm and musky Mounds of white billowy circles of me barely breathing Your fingers are feathers in my hair lightly touching, feeling for words seeping through my skin making poetry. | #mernwrites #poetry #love #blackandwhitephotography

: did you write a poem about me? : every breath I take is a poem about you. ------------------------------/2016 #mernwrites #poet #love #blackandwhitephotography

when you were sleeping i memorized your face your birthmarks became my constellation-- and everything I believed in now and in the past was written all over your skin. | 7-2003, 2016 Edit #poem #goodmorning #sleepy #love #poetry #writer #loveletter #mernwrites #mernshoots

I want to succeed so badly I have to. I have to like, I have no other choice. I want to move forward, I am ready. I have my running shoes on, I am in position, I have trained— I’ve read the books, I’ve listened to the talks, I’ve had the dreams, I know the drill. I’m on track to move forward, but all the directional signs point to me, so I don’t move, because I can’t possibly be it. I yell it out, “GOD!, You said in perfect timing, You said you have a plan for me! But I don’t see it and I’ve been waiting a pretty long time. And the stress on my knees is making me weak from waiting, Eyebrows burrowed, I am in position, and my hands are shaking. The signs, they light up, one by one here we go --- this is it. And I wait for them to shift direction, to show me where to go. But, they don’t move. I begin to recall every book I’ve read, every quote, every story, every success article, every Ted Talk-- follow your dreams! and my head goes limp and I begin to cry because what is my dream? What am I? What is success? What do I want? What if I am mediocre? And I move from my position, and I fall into prayer, and enter my house of Truth. From within my House, I can see the tips of the arrows, hundreds of signs pointing in, and my House is bright. In it, I ask, what is success? And the way it works, see – is it is already written in books that I helped write, so, the knowledge is accessible at all times. What is success to me? ------------------------- it is holding the hand inside of another and creating a brighter light. it is a gentle assistance, a patient teacher, being a student of life it is knowing I Am a burning match with the power to ignite another sun and a galaxy is greater when it accommodates another One ------------------------- And the directional signs are buzzing and screaming and flashing – because success was never about me and a galaxy has never been mediocre. | #mernwrites -------------------------------- #success #getrich #life #wisdom #light #growth #writer #dreambig #writersofinstagram #succeed #quoteoftheday #God #IAm #TheSecret #TheAlchemist #TheWarofArt #tedTalks @marieforleo 🙏🏼 (at Zuma Beach)

God slit the universe billions of times over and it spilled out unto itself, into silken droplets, formed petals waving freely in zero gravity, until each came together, like the law of attraction like the way we have to be with each other like the way you find me each and every time, like when we come together, finally and make great blossoms in the sky. 2017 #mernwrites #poetry #write #poesía #mood

playing with the #Light | I thought, let me take this #BloodOrange and make the sign of the #Cross. I took a step back and thought, oh wow. I am really playing with #TheLight 🙌🏼 ------ #prayersanswered #ILoveYouToo #photography #Love #Jesus

The day will carry on without me, if I'm ready, or I'm not, it will be If I stay inside all day, be it as it may, the birds will sing Anyway The day will carry on without me, if I'm ready, or I'm not it will be, it won't stop to hear my sorrow, doesn't care about tomorrow, it will bring the Spring Anyway The day will carry on without me, the trees and all her leaves will sway, And the sun will keep on shining, it will set with perfect timing, and bring forth a night like yesterday, If I chose to stay in bed all day. -------------------------------- I was coming back from dropping off Soleil this morning listening to #Jazz and a #melody stuck to me; it took thoughts out of my head so swiftly that I had to pull over and write #lyrics to it. I am going to ask Soleil to #sing it on my #stories later so you can hear it. I also arranged this photo today--and I remembered that #melancholy is beautiful if you use it creatively and don't allow it to consume you. It's a gift and curse I've had all my life. | #writer #poet #photography #roses #song #mood #moodygrams #mernwrites
