BLEEDING PAGES. 📖🥀የሚደሙ ገጾች

ጨለማ እውነቶቻችንን በመጽሐፍ ገጾች እና በተዘጋ ዓይን ውስጥ እንሸሽጋለን፤ የተሸሸገ ነገር አይጎዳንም ብለን እናምናለን ነገር ግን ህመም እንደ ውሃ ነው ስንጥቅ ይፈልጋል፣ ከማስታወሻ ደብተር ወሰን አልፎ የእውነታችንን ገጽታ ያድማል።

በፊታችን ላይ የሚፈሱት እንባዎች ውሃ አይደሉም በጣም ብዙ ካየ በጣም ጥቂት ከተናገረ አእምሮ የሚወጡ ያልተጻፉ እውነቶች እንጂ።

አንዳንድ ምስጢሮች ተቀብረው መቅረት አይፈልጉም...

We lock away our darkest truths inside bound pages and closed eyes believing that what is hidden can not hurt us. But pain is a fluid thing it finds the cracks spills past the boundaries of the diary and stains the face of reality.

The rings we hold are not ornaments; they are cages. The tears running down are not water; they are unwritten confessions, bleeding out from a mind that has seen too much and spoken too little.

In the architecture of human suffering the loudest screams are always trapped behind closed lips and locked covers. What you refuse to bleed on paper your soul will eventually bleed in silence.

Some secrets refuse to stay buried.

የምትጠፋዋ ሰዓት (THE VANISHING HOUR) ⏳🖤

እኛ በጊዜ ውስጥ አንኖርም ጊዜ ይበላናል እንጂ። እያንዳንዱ እስትንፋሳችን ሽኝት ነው እያንዳንዷ ሴኮንድ የቀደሞ ማንነታችንን በጸጥታ የምትሰርቅ መሸርሸር ነች።

ከዚህ መረብ መሰል ጀርባ አንዲት ምስክር አለች ዓለም ከጀርባዋ ወደ ሚደበዝዝ የብርሃን ዱካ ሲቀየር እሷ ግን ሳታንቀሳቅስ ትቆማለች የብርሃን መስመሮቹ እንቅስቃሴ አይደሉም የጊዜ ደም መፈሰስ እንጂ ጥቁሩ አልባሳት እና ጓንት ደግሞ የትናንትናችን የሀዘን ልብስ ናቸው።

የህይወት ጨለማው እውነት ሁላችንም ጊዜያዊ መሆናች ነው ይሄን መሸርሸር ቀለማት ይሸፍኑታል ጥቁር እና ነጭ ግን የእውነቱን አፅም ባዶውን ያወጣዋል።

We do not live in time we are consumed by it. Every breath is an execution every passing second a quiet decay that steals a piece of who we used to be.

Behind the net of this veil lies a witness someone standing motionless while the world behind her turns into smears of dying light. The light trails are not motion they are time bleeding out. The dark gloves and black attire are not a fashion statement they are a funeral shroud for yesterday.

The dark truth of existence is that we are all ghosts in training We cling to frames photographs and memories trying to anchor ourselves in a reality that is constantly slipping through our fingers. Color hides the decay black and white exposes the bare cold skeleton of truth

BEYOND THE BLUE. ከሰማያዊው ባሻገር

Most people look at a photograph and see a moment. As filmmakers and visual storytellers we look at a frame and see an entire realm. The Meaning Behind the Frame
In this piece the vibrant blue background isn't just a choice of color it is a symbol of the vast infinite ocean of human consciousness. the quiet space where external noise dies and internal vision is born.

The Art of Beyond the Blue:
is the philosophy of looking past surface aesthetics. It is about capturing emotions that words fail to explain. When you close your eyes to the physical world, you stop reacting to what is seen and begin to connect with what is felt depth, truth and unpolished soul.
True art doesn't seek applause from the crowd it seeks resonance with the spirit.

ብዙ ሰው ፎቶ ሲያይ አንድ ቅጽበት ብቻ ይመለከታል እኛ ግን በየፍሬሙ ውስጥ ሙሉ ዓለምን እናያለን።

ይህ ደማቅ ሰማያዊ ዳራ የሰውን ልጅ ጥልቅ የመንፈስ እና የህሊና ውቅያኖስ ይወክላል የተዘጋው ዓይን ጸጥታ ከሰማያዊው ቀለም ጋር ሲዋሃድ የውጪው ረብሻ አብቅቶ የውስጥ ራዕይ የሚወለድበትን ጥበባዊ ከፍታ ያሳያል።

"ከሰማያዊው ባሻገር" ማለት፦
ከላይኛዉ የገጽታ ውበት አልፎ ቃላት የማይገልፁትን ጥልቅ ስሜት፣ እውነት እና የነፍስን ቋንቋ በጸጥታ መሳል ነው
እውነተኛ ጥበብ ከሕዝብ ጭብጨባ ይልቅ ከነፍስ ጋር መነጋገርን ይመርጣል።

Vision is cheap. Sacrifice is the currency. 🌑

They tell you to open your 3rd eye so you can see higher dimensions. But what good is seeing the path if you're too afraid to bleed on it?

Awakening isn't an aesthetic It’s an altar.
When you stop asking for signs and start asking for pressure everything shifts You realize the life you envisioned was never going to be handed to you through passive awakening it’s forged through total surrender to the fire.

Step out of the observation room Ask to be pushed into the forge.
