We met on the bluff overlooking the beach just as the sun began its final descent in the sky. We were both drawn to the lingering warmth of the golden rays, refreshing our lungs in the salty air while the sounds of crashing surf restored an ancient primal zen within us.

When our eyes met a spark ignited between us, instant and electric. A connection. A thread. An entanglement that time and space can never unravel.

Those moments we shared as the sun dipped below the horizon are etched inside my very being. The longing to experience them with you again, even just one more time, permeates my every thought. I wonder if you even remember me.

In the golden hour I return to the shoreline, searching the sands for you, hoping, yearning that maybe, maybe someday you’ll find your way to rest upon our beach once again.

Until then, I’ll save a space for you on the shore.

Love Always,
the human in the green hoodie

“When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.” ~John Muir

You don’t always notice the patterns you're creating while you’re living inside it, shaping and weaving as you go. The way consistent actions and practices are smoothing out the grain. How the rhythm of quiet choices made again and again have transformed into resilience. How steadiness has developed into foundation. How repetition has become structure.

It isn’t loud. It isn’t sudden. But over time, it holds true.

“I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” ~ Albert Einstein

There are galaxies that will never know this moment happened.
And yet here it is; etched in shadow, held in light.

Maybe we’re not meant to rule over the world, but to witness it, live with it, and exist alongside it.

Between ancient giants and cosmic brilliance there is stillness, perspective, and wonder. The forest speaks in silhouettes, and the stars in silence. They both say the same thing, "You are here." They remind me of how small I am, and how infinite that feels.

As John Muir once said, "The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness."

**Sooner or later**, we all find ourselves returning to an album that defined a moment.

It feels like just yesterday we were *Back Here*, reminiscing about the unforgettable melodies that make this album so special. *I'm Not in Love* with the fact that time has flown by so quickly, but *Next Time* we press play, we’ll be reminded why this album remains timeless.

The *Unpredictable* harmonies echo the *Ghost of You and Me* that lingers in our memories. *I Can Tell* that fans still hold these songs close to their hearts, proving that *Love Is Leaving* only in lyrics—not in reality.

Whether your heart is whole *Again* or searching for *Love on the Outside*, this album has a song for every emotion. *Always* a classic, I *Can't Say* enough about how much this music means to me. And just like that, we find ourselves *Still on Your Side,* celebrating the music that has shaped us for all these years.

Here’s to @bbmakofficial and 25 years of *Sooner or Later*! Cheers to all the memories and moments, and to making many, many more. 🎉💿

"It is surely our responsibility to do everything within our power to create a planet that provides a home not just for us, but for all life on Earth."

Happy 99th Birthday to our favorite naturalist, Sir David Attenborough! @davidattenborough

Happy May Day!

May Day, aka Beltane, Valborgsmässoafton, and Floralia, is celebrated by many cultures around the world to welcome spring and the return of the sun. Most celebrations include bonfires, maypoles, and flowers galore to symbolize purification, renewal, and the changing of the seasons.

May Day is also my Nana's birthday, and she is my one of my favorite perople to celebrate. So happy birthday Nana, wherever your atoms may be!

35 years ago, the Space Shuttle Discovery launched into space with it's payload, the Hubble Space Telescope. Together, they also launched massive changes to the way we view, explore, and understand the universe.

Some of my favorite nights have been spent in the darkest areas I can find, using my lens to explore beyond the visual boundaries of our world into spaces and galaxies unknown. I'm so grateful for The Hubble Space Telescope and NASA for igniting 35 years and more of inspiration, wonderment, and endless curiosity.

Cheers to many more years of mind-bending exploration!

"I see the wind
Oh, I see the trees
Everything is clear in my heart
I see the clouds
Oh, I see the sky
Everything is clear in our world"
~John Lennon

This Earth Day, I wish for us all to open our eyes to the beauty around us and allow the simple clarity of nature remind us of our unlikely place in this incredible world.

Our planet is precious and its wonders deserve our love and protection every day for all the generations to come.

What are you doing to celebrate Earth Day?
