Looking Back

Life was warm with gentle ease, Not grand nor broken, just simple peace. No cellphones, no TikTok craze— Just laughter, games, and carefree days.

I see myself out in the sun, Playing with friends, on the run, Returning home muddy, drenched in sweat, A childhood joy I’ll never forget.

With my sisters, cartoons on screen, Waiting for mom in the dimming scene, Ignoring the hunger, lost in the show, Then mom walks in with dinner to stow.

It wasn’t fancy, but it was enough, We shared our meals, both simple and rough. Life back then was small and kind, But growing up, we’ve left that behind.

Now we're older, faces lined, With tougher roads and steeper climbs, Yet grateful still for what we’ve learned— From simple times to strength hard-earned.

Through all the years, the joy holds true: We are here, and we made it through.

Far too often we allow ourselves to be consumed with our past. Far too often we force ourselves to focus on the future we let our time now slip past. I have learned neither way is a healthy way to live. Take it a day at a time, slow down and breathe, what happened has passed; what's to come still has time to change depending on the route you want to take. *Every day you have get up, do better, be better and be strong! *

Echoes of Architectural Wisdom: Navigating the Past and Future

In the intricate tapestry of Vienna's architectural landscape, there exists a profound symbiosis between tradition and innovation, where the echoes of the past reverberate through the corridors of the future. As humanity confronts pressing challenges in the modern era, the architectural mind finds itself at a crossroads, compelled to look back in time to its inconceivable roots for answers to the problems that the world confronts as it marches forward into the unknown.

The journey through architectural history unveils a rich tapestry of ideas, innovations, and philosophies, each thread woven into the fabric of civilization by the hands of visionary masters who dared to challenge convention and reimagine the world around them. From the ancient monuments of the Neolithic period to the towering skyscrapers of the present day, architecture has served as a reflection of humanity's aspirations, values, and contradictions.

Yet, amidst the ceaseless march of progress, the architectural mind finds solace and inspiration in the wisdom of the past, recognizing that the answers to many of today's most pressing challenges may lie dormant in the annals of history. In the juxtaposition of ancient wisdom and modern innovation, there exists a profound opportunity for dialogue and synthesis, where the lessons of the past can inform and enrich the designs of the future.

However, this journey is not without its challenges. As differing opinions and ideologies clash on the global stage, the architectural mind finds itself embroiled in a perpetual battle of ideas, where the clash of perspectives serves as both a stimulus for innovation and a catalyst for conflict. Whether waged on the battlefield or in the realm of intellectual discourse, the war of ideas underscores the profound significance of architecture as a reflection of societal values and aspirations.

In this context, the architectural mind assumes a dual role as both custodian of tradition and harbinger of change, navigating the complexities of the modern world with a sense of reverence for the past and a spirit of innovation for the future. As Vienna and cities around the world grapple with the challenges of cultural preservation, environmental sustainability, and societal progress, the architectural mind serves as a guiding light, illuminating a path forward that honours the wisdom of the past while embracing the possibilities of the future.

From Confusion to Clarity in 5 Simple Steps

From Confusion to Clarity in 5 Simple Steps

I’ve been thinking a lot about limit and limitlessness this week; and, I’ve been thinking about the connection between knowing we are unlimited, and confusion and clarity.

Where do you suppose confusion comes from? Or, lack of clarity? And, how do you suppose limited thinking is connected to confusion? Lastly, how does having clarity reduce confusion, and our…

Nel luogo in cui vivo è difficile sentire il presente. Il giudizio della mente ci costringe nel passato o nel futuro. Ci frammenta tra proiezioni ingannevoli allontanandoci dall'essenza delle cose e da noi stessi. È il presente che cerco, interrottamente e mi sfugge.

❤️ Today is the two year anniversary of losing my friend Jeanne Lavender, who I was privileged to know and work with for over a decade. Jeanne was the funniest, most authentic person I have ever met, the original black magic woman, and she taught me a lot about life. Like all of the elder wisewomen, Jeanne was the keeper of the secrets and memories of our shop, and she told me amazing and hilarious stories about Greenwich Village in the 60s, Boulder in the 70s, and beyond. I feel so very fortunate to have had the time and memories with her that I did. When I think of her, I think of helping others, respecting nature and the goddess in yourself and others, and living your truth—and that’s quite a legacy to leave behind. ❤️ #lavenderproject #lavender #rip #gonebutnotforgotten #legacy #home #family #loved #pastandfuture #blackmagicwoman #missed #thosewhohavepassed #honoreddead #memories #elloro #phenomenalgems https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv4ZhPSH00q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bevx4psk4hle

I was always told that a rainbow was a promise. Usually at new year I write about the past, present and future. This last year has taught me that only moment and thought that counts is the present. I can't change the past, I have no idea what the future holds. Here's to a life full of presents! #presents #presence #rainbow #promise #pastandfuture (at Graves Park Woods) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnMxcshsC-o/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
