What is it that we see.

 What is it that we are really living for? Why must it seem like the mediocrity of life and the worldly pleasures are the only thing we can find that can suffice the yearning inside of our souls? We chase the dream as the mirage of water upon the hot desert road. We chase it until our legs are weak and our thirst grips us into the abyss of false hopes and reality that was only a mere image that strips us of our dignity and self worth. Why can't we see.
 I realize more and more each day of how little I know about myself or what I want. I cry over the tragedies or life and scold God for supposedly his wrong doing to me, but really I am my own worst enemy. I am the road block that holds me back and I am the blindfold that hinders my sight. The reality of it all is that MY idea was nothing more than a pipe dream and fairytales made up from what the mass media told me I should be. Be married, have kids, make money and make sure YOUR okay. Is that really all there is to life? Will I subject myself to the vain pursuit of happiness anymore? The reality is there is more to it than that. There is more to it that is imaginable! Why is it so hard to see that?
  I overheard someone one day talking about this study that was done with moths. What they did is put moths into a jar for a certain amount of time and closed the lid. after they waited a reasonable amount of time they opened the jar to let the moths free. What they noticed is that the moths would not leave the jar, even if the lid was open, because they were stuck in the jar for so long they had no idea that there was anything eles than that jar anymore. It baffled me when I heard that because we are no different than those moths. The doors of freedom from ourselves are opened wide to us but since we can't comprehend it or imagine it we stay in our own worlds...never really getting to enjoy the blessings of life or to seek to new horizons. If I only know one thing it is this. The possibilities are endless!  The world and spirituality of it all makes it all worth living for! Makes all the sorrows and heartache nothing more than a stepping stone towards growth and towards true happiness! It exists and it is real, just believe and never say never. Never say "well this is who I am and I can't change" because all your doing is hindering your growth. Anything is possible. Never forget to dream. I Love You all have a great night and please don't just reach high, reach infinitely into the stars among the stars and to sights beyond sights. It's all there waiting for it to be discovered. :) Good Night and God Bless.

Finally New Pictures!

Hey! It's been a while! Had a lot go on this past month. Well here are dome recent pics that I have. :) I've noticed that i'm starting to get into a vintage kind of photography, so I think I'll start reading up about the 60's and 70's so I can get a real idea of how it was and even how the photography was. Well hoe you like the new pictures!

 "Wishful thinking to the unknown heart" (picture up top)

 "a lost and found to the seekers"

 "on the fence"

 "Hi, you don't understand"

hey!!!

Hey!!! So I disappeared for a bit but I will be blogging again soon! (if anyone actually goes on this) : )

 H

 Here are some recent pics of mine! : )

Don't hate! Appreciate! :)

Hello! it's definitely been a while since my last post (laziness got the better of me) but all I can say is I am on this path and by no means is it easy! I've been going through a lot of things to discover myself and my spirituality. Last night me and my boyfriend were watching a movie called Fall from Grace where you see the source of why most Christians get a bad rep, even if they are genuine about their faith. It saddens me to see so called "Christians" have so much hate in their heart and have no understanding of what the word of god really means. I am quite new to the bible but I have learned a lot from what I have read and feel that god is horribly misunderstood. The amount of believers are getting smaller and smaller because people see these hateful "Christians" that hold up these signs and call people that aren't like them names and just beat them down. These "Christians" want to almost kill people as well! It's insane! As a Christian I can't get mad at them or even protest against them.Hate against hate just equals to more hate. The cycle has to be broken somewhere or we will never learn. All I can do is pray for them. It's not my place, and considering that I'm not Jesus, fighting like that would only make me a hypocrite.
    "God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs. God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted. God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth. God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied. God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy. God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see god. god blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of god.God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs." Matthew 5:3-10

New!!!

here's some new stuff I've been working on :)

 This picture is an outlook on a subject in an aspect that we don't get to see often. It is a moment captured that, as humans, we can study and actually see what is really going on. It gives us a moment to be comfortable with staring and actually capturing the image in out heads.

 This picture I tried to put an older vibe to it. It's a flashback to a simpler time and just seems as a mere memory that we never had.

I like this picture because of the detail and the beauty of this creature. This is a moment to where humans and animals can get closer and get more personal with a subject.

Life!

 

       Life...such a delicate and beautiful thing. What a masterpiece that god made. All the good and even the bad combined to create such a beautiful and breathtaking paining upon his canvas.  It's images like this that give me hope in the world and to help me believe that innocense does still exists. It is a rare thing, but still living and well in society today. Hope is not an easy thing to keep though. There are plenty of times I feel hopeless and jus want to give up on the world, but I have god always lifting me up and showing me that faith will never die and every good deed never goes unnoticed. I definately have god to thank for building my life up to what it is today. He showed me love and helped me believe more in myself than I ever could image. I've learned that the only thing keeping people back from their dreams is themselves and the fear that they built up in their souls. Fear only eats away at the core and kills hope until there is no more. It is merely a battle between good and evil and the brain is what can sway it whichever way you choose. We are not faithless and life is nothing more than training for what awaits for us after we have left this world. For there is no such thing as death, it's only the soul going home.

The Bigger the City...the Bigger the Stress

this is my boyfriends pic he took.

    *breath in* *breath out*. That's the best advice anyone could give when your swimming in a pool of sharks wearing a fish scented wetsuit. It's insane what people will do for money and who they'll walk over for it. No inspiration in the business district of Los Angeles today.

something pretty for a not so pretty day! I took this this weekend...its so pretty :)

Whats new!!

Not the best pic...but a beautiful creature :)

  I feel distant from god right now. That could be all in my brain though. The transition from Catholicism to Non-Denominational is a tough one. I stepped away from religion a few years ago when I realized that you didn't need a religion to find god. Since my departure from religion I can honestly say that I have definitely seen an immense amount of growth in myself. I have also seen a change in the way I interact with others as well. I'm not saying I'm always nice (actually I can get quite a temper) but being able to chose my own way, and a god to believe in, I have found more inner peace than ever before. All of this derives from just making a simple choice. Choice is a beautiful thing, always remember you have a choice. If the world was more gentle with the power of that choice I feel that there would be less corruption and pain. What I believe is that God DOES give you a choice...because if he didn't that's all people would know is him. We wouldn't know how to go against him or question him because he would've already pre-programmed us to believe in that singles idea, but never to not believe or question if he really does exist. When I look around at the world we are just aware (even if we choose to not accept it) but not exactly understanding really what or who it is that has made this all happen or why it chose us for this life...all we seem to know now is of our needs and not of others. As being who I am I will never give up in humanity, because once you have a relationship with the creator, even the bad things, can be created to make something great!

Something Just The Same

 So here it all is. Something so new yet so familiar to me. I start with nothing and find myself building to something new and grand!I feel as though I am an undefined mind in an endless search to reach such a point of definition and creativity to where my heart and my soul basks in the beauty of it all! The feeling of freedom, the definition which you will not find in any dictionary, is immense. all there is to do is bathe in it's intensity, joy, and everlasting peace. It's just nice to feel something again, even if it hurts sometimes.

for angels do not shine, without a tear to glint their eye,
nor beauty travels in furs and fine dining,
Loves honesty shall not be spoken without a memories lie,
for do we speak in beauty, for once our eyes we saw frieght,
and do we wish in vein for it's worldly wonders,
  grieving for a mind which is not our own,
and setting the boundaries of the soul,
wings that are clipped before flight.

It's just a random poem I put together. Basically I'm trying to say that without the bad there would be no realization of self and true meaning to who you are that will build you to a good person. Also I'm saying that the biggest downfall with that is not accepting yourself and always wanting to be something your not. "wings clipped before flight"

Okay so here it goes...

So at the moment my page is still under construction. I am very new to blogging and my ideas are still in the baby stages. Though as living in Los Angeles now I see a vast variety of opportunity to express myself and share my writing/ photography with others. I have made this blog being completely new at all of this. I haven't even gotten my camera yet! I am getting it on Monday though, which will be very exciting! I am also an amateur poet. I have no real schooling for it but it is something I've always loved and was drawn to it every since I was a kid. Enough of that for the moment. So this picture here was from my camera phone at an art museum in Los Angeles. Its amazing the design and beauty of this creature and how natural it is. I also enjoy taking close up to give the viewer an idea of how a world looks from a smaller perspective. To this creature we are huge giants and one rock is as a boulder to them. It is just such an interesting thing to think about it. Another fascinating thing about this creature is that its age literally weighs upon him. His shell shows the world how old he is and within age just becomes more and more breathtaking! Animals can teach us a lot about life. Even ones as small as this guy here.
