Looking back at photos and recalling a moment’s emotions is one of my most beloved diversions. A stimulated memory is the beautiful way to recall a smell, a smile, a physical sensation or a strong passion. These are the very reasons I eagerly keep up on my random photo logging hobby.

By choice, I will smile today.
Regardless of this day’s coils;
There will be no drowning in the Sea Of Life,
These waves were made to be ridden.

I will be grateful for moments, even as I watch them pass

I won’t await living to be effortless, I will value my edification

I needn’t [...]

Not a church of my own, though a million spires are pointing the way on high.
But I float on the bosom of faith, that bears me along like a river;
And the lamp of my soul is alight with love for life, and the world, [...]

As the bus took to the road I could hear a man’s voice coming from the front section somewhere, penetrating the buzz of swirling voices. He continued as the sounds lowered to faint shuffling whispers and he bellowed out in a tongue I was unable to comprehend. It sounded authoritative and the bus hushed to [...]

I arrived in Lilongwe, Malawi on December 24 without knowing what I would encounter once I walked through the plane’s doors. I tried researching, I dedicated time to getting to know the struggles faced therein but all the while I knew I would be learning firsthand what Malawi had in store for me. Upon arrival [...]
