It began here. Well, a little before that. But hey, that’s another story, a road well less travelled?

‘Life 101’ perhaps.

And now.

It ends.

For now, anyway.

for the cardinal, and his changing seasons

changing (seasons) #11 or, ‘change is the only constant’

‘life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes*
don’t resist them
that only creates sorrow
let reality be reality
let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like’

fly past

“The Guide says there is an art to flying”, said Ford, “or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.”
― Douglas Adams, Life, the Universe and Everything

(above Birminghamstraat, Molenbeek)

sometimes when you’re feeling down

it pays to look up

i literally just took these shots

watching them circling up

and flying away

to who knows where

i hope, they find their

place
