doors numbers sight
Though I have seen a great deal of the sights, traveled a number of the available paths, there are always corners that remain unexplored, doors that remain unopened.
interesting would-be three
I thought a circus environment would be an interesting venue to explore, where you didn't just have one tent with three rings and a show going on but where you could explore different things in different tents.
writing paint found

dream vivid vivid-dreams

writing brain different
Sometimes I write what I can't paint, and I paint what I can't write. I use a different part of the brain.

stories
I suppose there will never be a lack of things to say, of stories to be told and shared.

Perhaps it is controlling the chaos within more than the chaos without.
fall night past
The night that seemed endless hours before is now slipping through your fingers, ticking by as it falls into the past and pushes you towards the future.
misdirection
Misdirection is one of my strengths,
