nothing in the universe is isolated
it seems even the voice of a tiny virus speaks of our connection
to each other and to the earth.
My thanks to all who share this space... please feel free to be here quietly or with words... the connection is here both ways :-)
"Like a River down to the Sea
All the chains that held you down
Will be in pieces on the ground
You'll drink the Rain ☔️
And Ride the wind to Me...

I'm beyond words for what happened in Christchurch New Zealand today. Simply, compassion and solidarity for all who are suffering, especially the Muslim community. You are not alone.
When I first set out to take my photo today I felt as though I had never taken a picture before. I set something down, aimed and pushed the shutter button, when I pulled it into Lightroom the image was flat and boring. I scrapped everything and worked much harder to create this image. This image is more to my liking, interesting light and shadow, an emotional feeling, better composition.
Wishing you all a beautiful day wherever you are.

For the progressive dreamers in all of us, here is Imperial dunes, CA. Some sights you live and die for. Some moments you wish you see over and over again. Call it the symmetry, harmony, or just disorder. Two’s two’s two’s. You are never alone.
You are not alone. Unless you want to be. The choice is yours.
Thank you for looking at a young man sat on a bench.

When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready.
The challenge will not wait.
Life does not look back.

Warm regards from far, far away,

She was holding a sign that invited "Meet a Muslim" with some friends in downtown Chicago and handing out flowers and hand written letters downtown. I expressed my gratitude that she is a part of America.
I hope everyone is kind to her. There is room in this world, in this country, and in my neighborhood for people of all faiths. Hate has no home here.
Mental Health awareness photo series.
Week 6 in the my 52 week challenge group is an interesting one. We are asked to create a story that require 4 photos separated over 4 weeks. This week is week 1 / chapter 1. The other weeks will be spread throughout the year, so you will have to wait an see what happens....
Like all good stories, this one is based on pieces of truth. As a doctor I see depression and anxiety on a daily basis in so many of my patients. It is the silent disease that people suffer through. Unlike a broken leg, where everyone immediately offers a helping hand, mental health is stigmatized even in this day and age. This series is for all of you who suffer - feeling stigmatized with your voice unheard and feeling like there is no one lending a helping hand for your pain.
Chapter 1 - The pain is unbearable, but invisible. You can't run from it. You don't know why you have it. You don't know where to turn, and you don't have to energy to try. This is your every day struggle. It's not something you can "snap" out of. It consumes you in a hopeless endless mess....
***Note to those who love me.... don't worry about me!! This is a photo that I have dramatized including crazy make-up alcohol and purposely using excessive "negative space" in the foreground. I am using my photography to promote mental health awareness and since I like expressing myself through self-portraits I thought this would be a good way to do it. ***

It just means the world to me that some of my Flickr friends have been concerned about me because I went missing from Flickr. Thanks 🙏!!! I have ongoing brain troubles because I am constantly dealing with damage from a Traumatic Brain Injury. I have setbacks that are part of this process of healing. I had a 2 week + episode that disabled me almost totally. One of the drugs that I take for seizures was increased and it actually turned toxic. Trailer dog took great care of me. He's actually trained to to help me get up and keep me moving. Now, I can tell that I am getting to the other side of this episode. And back to the beach where true healing takes place for me.
I know that we all have our "life issues". So, I don't really dwell on my problems much. This TBI has been more of a life changing gift than a burden to me. I have to live by the Grace and mercy of God. Sometimes He will take you a on stroll through Hell, though.
Makes for good Art, though, lol.
With much Love, Tom (and Trailer 🐶)
Ok, update Jan 21, 2019. I’ve been forcing myself to catch upon the very kind and gracious invites which I have missed for some reason or another.
Now, also I’m seeing also some very kind comments, Prayers and wishes for healing. Guess what, all of this has helped me heal ! I am happy to report that I am going into a strange period of being a semi functional Human being, hehe. After 6 years of being totally broken and in a deep moody fog ! Anyone who has delt with a long term Traumatic Brain Injury or a coma would know that when you come back to life and reality, you have to deal with 2 versions of your self. The “old” self and the “new” self. Sounds crazy, but it’s true. Now that I’m becoming able to act like I belong to the human race, I don’t recognize the mechanical and people skills that the “old” me had ! So it’s a little scary to have these gifts reappear. But I love them and accept them wholeheartedly ! My immediate family has recognized this happening to me. They wish the “old” me would return. But having been in therapy for 5 years, I know that the “old” will not return. And a brand new (and way older in years) Man has come to Life !
Keep Praying, dear friends ! Hoping and wishing ! As I do for all of my Flickr friends as I enjoy your works !
I have a newer post Called “Coming Back to Life” which is a celebration of sorts of healing and being able to deal with life.
I have so much personal loss, materially and with friendships. Your friends desert you after 2 or 3 months of deep sickness. 2 of my closet friends died during my mental lapse. My wife and 3 step sons completely abandoned me. Yada, yada, yada. Makes for a great country song, lol. Anyway, starting from scratch now and I’m coming back to life !
Flickr=Love 😎🐚🐶 It’s True ! Thanks for standing by me and TrailerDog !
Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold ...

Milo needs a favor, flickr friends. Uncle Ari is very ill, and needs our prayers. Can you please send some his way?
UPDATE: I have heard some good news that things are better with Ari. Thanks so much for the prayers, everyone!

Herro, dearies :3 This was taken on this day, November 25th.
This didn’t really turn out as well as I wanted it to, but, well, life. But I’m still proud of the fact that I actually took a picture and edited it. Because, if you haven’t noticed, I’ve been posting so many old photos lately XD
Anywhoodle, this is the third installment of my Second Chances project and is a recreation of this.
Psst, it’s a message in a bottle if you can’t see ;D
PSST. I got an Instagram! I’ll be posting pictures, cute behind the scenes shots, and even cuter outtakes (mostly of Haley, Dee, and I)! And if I can’t tempt you with our adorable faces, I don’t know what can ;D
