Reminder! This election is not only about whether we keep our democracy, but also whether or not our beautiful country ends up being destroyed by greed! A vote for any member of the GOP is a vote for destruction of the environment! Photo: Colorado Rockies Photographer: Michael J. Bauer

If Only They Knew They say, “Mellow out,” as if calm were a switch hidden under my ribs, My mind is a wildfire— not burning to destroy, but burning to know… #blueskyartshow #gifted #intensity #livingwithintensity

Charcoal drawing of a girl on the top of a mountain overlooking a cliff in a storm. Wind and lightning

If Only They Knew

They say, “Mellow out,” as if calm were a switch hidden under my ribs,
My mind is a wildfire—
not burning to destroy, but burning to know.

My thoughts outrun the clock, feet tapping to a tempo no one else can hear.
Psychomotor sparks—
Restless,
Relentless,
Asking my body to keep pace with possibility.

The world arrives in high-definition:
Light: too bright.
Texture screams and sings against my skin.
A whisper becomes a symphony.
A color becomes a feeling.
Sensual threads pull me to notice what others pass by.

Imagination folds the ordinary into myth and metaphor—
Turning shadows into stories,
Questions into quests.
I live on the edge
Of real and yet-to-be.

Then comes the drive to know—
The Intellectual pull—
Where curiosity grows teeth and won’t stop chewing until the truth is laid bare.
I chase patterns like fireflies, collecting answers in jars made of wonder.

Beneath it all, emotion rises—
Not small,
Not quiet,
But overpowering and all encompassing.
Joy arrives like sunrise.
Grief floods like a storm.
Empathy vibrates deep in my bones.
I feel the world before I understand it.

Intensity is not a flaw but a compass
A way of being tuned to a finer frequency.
It is the engine of potential,
The spark that cracks open who I am becoming.

I cannot always “mellow out.”
I can learn to channel,
To breathe,
To honor the motion within.
This inner storm is also my source of light
A power that, when understood, becomes purpose

Gearing up to make more of my modern take on Māori patus. All of my art is sustainable using reclaimed materials as much as possible.

🚨House Republicans just passed a bill that would disenfranchise 70 million married American women. Under the SAVE Act, women who took their spouse’s last name and don't have an updated passport or birth certificate would be turned away at the polls.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Makes one wonder if those elected Republicans realise how badly they appear to be played. Only 3-4 elected Republican officials seem to be standing against his nonsense

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.
