FROM MY WINDOW

The poor disgust us because they ARE us. Shorn of our illusions. They show us what we’d look like without our fine clothes. How we’d smell without perfume. -High Sparrow

I’ve been grappling with my “reality”. This illusion. I’m fine with the philosophies I’ve manufactured to justify my bullshit. And by fine, I mean I have identified them and I am working on getting to a better place. I’m moving toward living in in my purpose, my service... and that comes with reflection. I speak to this homeless community around my hood. Souls that are burning off karma, and reminding us (if we pay attention) that our issues are no more relevant than theirs. Ultimately, I feel that the world is a rehabilitation center and we are being prepped for eternity. It comes with a ton of tests and trials. Ours alone. Individually. You gotta pass YOUR test. That may or may not include others, but you’ll feel it in your heart when it’s time... and when it’s “pencils down”. Grateful to be here with you all.
Take a minute to appreciate today.
Tell THEM that you love them.
Smell the flowers and the fresh air.
Look at the sky.
You may not have any of it tomorrow.
LOVE.

I debated on whether or not to post this.
It’s too raw. It’s too real.
My father was a press photographer for many years and the amount of stories he told. The things he saw. He’s the GPS for my life. As I get older I realize, he was really trying to work it all out just like I’m trying to work it out and still be the superhero for my son that my dad IS for me. Anyways, there are so many “REALITIES” we have to face in this lifetime. I’m NOT a reportage photographer but I realize the need to see the world as it is and give my kid straight talk. I pray that this world gets better, I pray for those who are suffering. I pray for all the parents that push through and have to make this a better place for their... OUR kids. I know however, that THAT is not the purpose of this material world. Our purpose is to serve and love one another despite whatever the world has in store. I don’t take these images from a neutral position. I am very much attached. I pray for all of us. I love all of us. God bless y’all today. 🙏🏾
