There’s a quiet ache that lives in all of us - a longing not just to be seen, but to be known. It’s the ache of walking through the world with stories tucked behind our ribs, hoping someone might ask the kind of question that unlocks them. It’s the ache of laughter that almost covers the loneliness, of strength that hides the softness we wish someone would touch gently.
And then there’s the awe.
The awe of connection. Of finding someone who doesn’t flinch at our truth. Who hears the tremble in our voice and leans in, not away. It’s the awe of shared silence, of glances that say more than words, of feeling like we belong - not because we’re perfect, but because we’re real.
To be alive is to carry both: the ache of isolation and the awe of intimacy. We crave closeness not just for comfort, but because it reminds us we’re not alone in our wondering. That someone else is out there, navigating the same questions, feeling the same pull toward meaning.
Intimate connection isn’t just romance or friendship - it’s the sacred exchange of presence. It’s saying, I see you, and hearing, I’m still here. It’s the moment when the ache softens and the awe expands, and we realize that maybe, just maybe, we’re building something beautiful together.
beneath the humming lifeblood of munich central station, a tale of two desires unfolds. a lonesome traveler strides, his path divergent from the beckoning "festwiese" sign, where echoes of oktoberfest revelry call. it's a silent narrative of choices and reflections—literally. his mirrored self, a ghostly silhouette, appears to glance towards the festivities, a doppelgänger drawn to what might have been. in this transient corridor of life's crossroads, every footfall is a story, a singular journey against the tide, a personal odyssey within the city's heartbeat.
Un senso di felicità perduta mi avvolge, alle volte, come queste nuvole tra le guglie del Catinaccio, sospese tra ciò che resta nell'anima e ciò che svanisce nel tempo.
Spesso cammino tra ricordi che graffiano il cuore, come la roccia si aggrappa al cielo senza poterne fermare il suo scorrere.
Nel silenzio della mente, ogni passo sussurra l'eco di un tempo che non torna ma che vive ancora nei miei pensieri.
Forse, come le nuvole, anche la malinconia troverà il suo vento per dissolversi sempre sperando di tornare sulle proprie orme.

Happy Friday Everyone
The world doesn’t stop just because we need a break. But sometimes, slowing down is exactly what helps us move forward. Today’s light felt like a gentle reminder: beauty doesn’t scream. It whispers through the wind in the trees, dances over the ripples of a still morning lake, and hums quietly as golden rays stretch across the sky.
I believe the most powerful moments are the silent ones – when you catch your breath and realize it’s okay to pause, smile, and just be. This photo is one of those moments, and I hope it brings you a small dose of that calm today.

Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is only one journey. Going inside yourself.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Your outer journey may contain a million steps;
your inner journey only has one :
the step you are taking right now.
This one step takes you into Being
and the light of Being will shine through it.
Eckhart Tolle

Looking for no direction.
Just a way
to disappear gently.
--------------------------------------------
Via d’uscita
In cerca di nessuna direzione.
Solo un modo
per sparire piano.
Ci sono momenti in cui ci troviamo di fronte a un vuoto profondo, quello dell'anima, quando ci rendiamo conto di ciò che ci manca davvero. Ma è nei panorami del mondo, nella bellezza infinita della natura, che possiamo trovare un rifugio. Forse non riusciremo a colmare il vuoto interiore, ma almeno possiamo riempire gli occhi e il cuore di meraviglia, lasciando che l'immensità del paesaggio ci ricordi che c'è ancora tanto da scoprire.

No one knew what lay at the top.
The light felt like an invitation—or a trap.
Each step erased something.
Breath was short, the backpack full of absences.
No direction.
Only the ancient gesture of climbing.
As if somewhere, high above,
something still had to happen.
________________________
Non si sapeva cosa ci fosse in cima.
La luce sembrava un invito, o una trappola.
Ogni scalino cancellava qualcosa.
Il fiato era corto, lo zaino pieno di assenze.
Nessuna direzione.
Solo il gesto antico del salire.
Come se da qualche parte, molto in alto, qualcosa dovesse ancora accadere.

Sometimes,
we feel the pull
a quiet ache to speak
with ourselves.
We reach inward,
fingers trembling with wonder,
trying to slip our hands
into the folds of our own soul,
to touch something true,
to find the voice beneath the noise.
But guess what
it’s only an attempt,
a whisper against the storm.
To truly reach that place,
we must walk a path
not paved in ease,
but in questions.
Not straight,
but spiraled,
winding through shadows and soft light.
It is a journey
not loud, but vast.
Not always kind,
but sometimes zen.
Where silence becomes a guide,
and stillness,
a key
Edge of Time……..
In search for the living light
Promised to us
From the beginnings of time
We start our journey
Wandering past the ages
Through our many lives
Without ever reaching
The edge of time
Hearing the call
We have to turn around
And start our journey anew
Into our most inner realms
Wandering through
The many rooms
Encountering our past
Going through our fears
Some say we will have
Seven circles to pass
Finally finding ourselves
At the edge of time
Encountering the light
So intensely bright
There is nothing to see
But darkness allover
Patiently standing still
Opening our inner eyes
We will be prepared
To melt into one
With the ONE light
Having surpassed
The edge of time.

This maybe looks a bit grim, but was partly inspired by the Leonard Cohen song, stretched canvas, acrylic, size 32"-40" inch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmON_0bzUZc
1939, a nameless man in a nameless city somewhere in Europe carries out his quiet, ordinary life. Once World War II is about to break, his hometown is no longer a safe place. Strange woodland landscapes slowly show up in his mind, till a point where dreams and reality merge into a reborn existence…

A captivating contrast unfolds, inviting reflection on the complexities of emotions. This picture is a portrayal of inner battles, where beauty and vulnerability entwine in a delicate dance
As part of the 'Momentum' series, this image offers a multi-dimensional view of observation. Through a window's reflection, it presents a woman's profile superimposed on a traditional Asian landscape, symbolizing the dual nature of our engagement with the world around us. It’s an exploration of the inner and outer journeys that define our personal momentum through life.

Poem by Elise Dirlam Ching
This long road:
neck arched as the heron's
to seek through moss on forest fingers
where silver throated owl makes song
and larvae of the spirit
work in silence to make a new world.
Oh, fertile darkness where misery sulks
a drunken shadow with no attachment
and moist earth trembles toward the light
that glows regardless of all suns.
All the while the heart full knowing
thumps its way to the pull of the polestar.
