All there is is UP

Water

These are pictures that have not been modified in anyway.
They were taken 2 years ago when Laki and I were in Cali visiting family before Lala was born.
I love the ocean
If I could be reborn as anything it would be a dolphin. They get to live their lives in the ocean, eat sushi, and they get to fly!

The Risks of Loving

The Risks of Loving

There is a risk involved in everything.
Every time you share a smile,
Every time you shed a tear,
You are opening yourself up to hurt.

Some people tread slowly though life,
Avoiding the closeness risk brings,
Sidestepping the things they can't understand,
Turning away from those who care too much,
Those who care too long,
Those who hold too tightly.

There is never an easy way to love.
You cannot appoach it cautiously.
It will not wait for you to arm yourself.
It does not care if you turn away.
It is everywhere, It is everything.

Love is the greatest of all risks.
It is not reliable, it is not cautious,
It is not sypathetick.
It is unprejudiced and unmerciful.
It strikes the strongest of minds
And brings them to their knees in one blow.

Even in the best of times, Love hurts.
It hurts to need, it hurts to belong,
It hurts to be the other part of someone else,
Without either of your consent,
But, from the moment it overtakes you,
It hurts worse to be alone.
