an ocean apart

Luminous

Going away makes coming back ever so slightly more satisfying.

Back to basics

From one whirlwind into another, but briefly, a small respite.

Staying positive

Some days are bad, some days are good, and some days, you just need color thrown all over you. Live life, be happy.

[Pause]

Just wishing I could hit the pause button on the current weather. But beautiful things never last forever.

At peace

It was right here all along.

Tibouchina grandiflora

A month after I moved into this apartment, 5 years ago, the tree outside my bedroom window bloomed copiously with these bright purple flowers. I didn’t know their name then, and it took me 3 years to find someone who did (“Er, those purple flowers blooming on trees every end of summer?”)—Tibouchina grandiflora, Nature’s realisation of the final days of a season full of colour, warmth and activity. When they start to bloom every mid-February, I am reminded to hoard those precious last hours of summery sunshine.

One last reach

Carnival has ended, I survived, and now, back to reality.

Carnival season

amy — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 06:04:40 +0000

Carnival season started last week, and it all leads up to Fat Tuesday. February is one giant party, in a city filled with so much love.

Companionship

Sometimes — and maybe more often than sometimes — I just want to be alone. Solitary but not lonely. Other times, I’m reminded of how lovely it is to have company.
