The sky cleared and, in responce, I got out of bed.
Thunderstorms always remind me of how my mother taught me that lightening ionizes the air, and thus, brings all life new energy. I lied in bed this morning in mystic wonderment of rebirth.
With this sentiment in mind, I decided to head to the Nagasaki Peace Park.
I witnessed the very spot in which the abomb unleashed heartaching devastation, caused 140,000 deaths instantaneously, and left another 140,000 injured or homeless. I stood in complete sadness and regret for the tragedy my country caused. I am ashamed, but a walk through this park sends a loud message that despite ultimate loss, what is crucial in the present is to build the foundations of peace on the faults in human history. Intercultural understanding and respect for all human life is essential to our growth as a species. We must uplift each other with love, peace, joy, and harmony.
Here is The Peace Statue which points to the sky in threat of another nuclear bomb, and his other motions for peace.
The existence of nuclear bombs today still pose a global threat whether this be through international conflict or human error.

I am humbled. May peace prevail. (at Nagasaki Peace Park)

Our experience as human beings is multifaceted and limitless beyond comprehension. Do what makes you happiest presently, explore your curiosities, and be unafraid to make changes. Be bold, be you, you are a wildfire. Show em how you burn

I never needed your words, your eyes told me everything I needed to hear.

Red cicadas cry
like frost on humidity
echos beyond sound.

When the rain ends, we can see
the softest shadows we’ll become.

Sometimes you need to wring your heart out for it to be absorbent again.

if I sang you a lullaby,
where would you go when you’re asleep?
a park bench under the sunlight and trees
would you dream the same lyrics from the song I sing?
laughing at seagulls on a pier around 4pm
maybe you remember humming along.

never called me pretty in words,
but you looked at me like I was the most beautiful thing you’d ever seen.

This is a playlist I have created to share with everyone as my way of saying goodbye…in song form.

I hope you enjoy, it is supposed to evoke feelings of care, love, and assurance.
