Anima. Runner-Up in Through the Lens Challenge.
I want to witness the anima. No, that isn't right. I want to dip my hands into the ether running through the neurons of every creature's sparking thoughts and swim through their consciousness until I understand the vices of their being. I want to rip it free and chew on it until I've tasted every last molecule. It's an obsession. The yearning is so deep it terrifies me. It still isn't right. I want to hold hands with her soul.

My Winter Wonderland. Top Story - January 2025.
I love snow. I've come to learn that it's not a popular opinion among adults in my part of the world. And I do understand why. It causes a lot of problems: slick roads, downed power lines, roof damages. It also slows everything down. But I think I rather appreciate that part. I also think it's beautiful. I'm of the mindset that if it's going to be freezing outside it might as well look pretty.

Birds of a Feather
The picture is simple. It's the black silhouette of a small grey and white cockatiel in front of a sunset, his crest halfway up because he's finally realized that I've been standing behind him, intruding on his private viewing of the sunset.

Jackie. Runner-Up in Through the Lens Challenge.
The cottage we rented stood proud and pale atop thick wooden pilings just past the dunes of the beachhead which were feathered in salt grass and stirred by the winds of the Atlantic Ocean just beyond. Fenwick Island, New Jersey. The waves in their quiet thunder sounded in a rhythmic pulse like a time keeper of the world as our dog Anya bounded exuberant into the foaming surf yet having no concept of such a thing for she had never seen an ocean. This vast nameless thing of power, delight and beauty. And in much the same way I encountered my own unseen ocean. Something I had never beheld as well - I found myself in love with an older woman – She was 14 and I was 10. Her name was Jackie. It was 1977.

A Shadow
Young enough to cause trouble and old enough to be trusted unsupervised, I broke off from the pack of students I was supposed to be with, feigning having to use the bathroom. A quick hop and a skip, and I was off. I didn't like that we had to digest art according to rules on a paper and I didn't like that I was here to fill out twenty questions about dates and locations, not the art itself.

Soul Companion; Shaman Ayes
Congratulations, Einstein, yes, I am a cat! Beyond the obvious observation, can you hold my gaze while I tell you about myself? No, I cannot talk, per se, however, my mum of a different breed channels my innermost thoughts. Marilyn is not my owner; I am not a pet. A cat shall never be owned. Instead, she is my soul companion, my human counterpart, my protege, dare I say, who holds all my knowledge.

Saving a Life
I don’t like to brag. I like telling stories, and I like entertaining my audience. Or making them think, or making them uncomfortable in ways that will galvanize them to positive social action. I wouldn’t say I’m the hero of the stories I tell about myself, because I don’t see myself as one. I’m a human trying to be the best human I can be, without getting burned by the not-humans out there that walk around on two feet. Makes them hard to tell apart from the real people, for sure.
