Ink Birches

 "So was I once myself a swinger of birches,
and so I dream of going back to be."

There have been birches on my mind quite often lately. I don't know why. I just saw them on the way to school one morning and thought how nice they were, how different from all the other trees. I finally had time to put these images from my head on a piece of paper. Now I have ink birches all over my table...and ink stains all over my hands and face...that reminds me of an ink quote I once heard from a friend:
"Ink runs from the corners of my mouth.
There is no happiness like mine. 
I have been eating poetry."
Mark Strand





 

 

"I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree,
And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk
Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
But dipped its top and set me down again.
That would be good both going and coming back.
One could do worse than be a swinger of birches."
Robert Frost

song of the day: Lucy Rose: Gamble

I'm a Ghost Upon The Earth


            Nothing there is nothing yet in truest form
                We walk like ghosts upon the earth
                        The ground it groans


        what's the new Gungor album about? --> 1:17-2:00

"And just this kind of being thankful for life, being thankful for the goodness of being alive in this world. These ideas are really meaningful to us. They come from a really deep place for us. And so our hope is that people would listen to this and just kind of have their hearts open to these big ideas that we're singing about that they would experience a bit of the wonder of the universe, the wonder of love and of God and just the beauty that music can open up in our minds and our hearts. That's what it does to us. That's why we make it."

This is one of their older songs but the video is so nice.

Time passes by and from it I can not hide...

Time,always on my mind, but could never understand or process it, makes me scared, makes me happy, makes me sad...
Although, I sometimes feel I live in a time zone of my own.
First day of school and all of a sudden all of my summer careless flying in the clouds is gone.
Quite strange to realise it is the last first day at my school. I had been trying to set my mind positevely on starting the year of choices and growing up and I set the attitude of "new adventure" Nevertheless, it took me by surprise, quite of a shock.

I've tried to somehow stop time to capture nice moments and store them in my mind as if I could possibly return to those places and feel the same...but it doesn't really work :) I never stopped trying though.


The lines of light
They tell my mind
I'm a child...
Time passes by
And from it I
Can not hide...

The seasons know
But they won't show
They won't let it go....

Nobody now
No matter now
Time is slow...
