1. morning market in Mangjing.
2. my last sunset, overlooking the rainforested mountains of Myanmar, meditating on the nonexistence of borders and human generosity. cried very hard, peacefully, until the sun set.

4. rolling leaves 🤍
5. Nuogang Village temple
6. blind cupping for blending pu'er
7. tea leaves
8. the Sacred Bodhi tree that is the vessel for co-housing the Bulang indigenous peoples tea ancestor spirit, Pa Aileng, as well as the Queen Bee God. Standing tall, a beacon of the tea forest.

this has been one of the hardest, strangest, weirdest, most beautiful, most pleasant, least pleasant, full of rage, full of love, painful, beautiful again years of my life.

i traveled to far off places i didn't think i would ever visit in my lifetime with loved ones and alone, too. started (again) exhuming all of my shit in therapy and dat shit is not for the weak. i keep thinking i had a fucked up year in solitude while im going through growing pains but i look back and i see the love even in times when only desolation felt real. whew hehe

thank you to my best friends for loving me i am so happy i get to evolve and grow with you and be on this earth together. you are amazing. to everyone else- ya i go like 12 months w no communication and suddenly im in another country at 3am posting from some sort of ritual thats just my irish goodbye please excuse me most of the time im just staring at walls in silence 🕴 by @ssarcophilus

⛰️🌾🍵🪦🪶 rha waterfalls, mountains, meadowsweet, matcha, graves of templar knights, blind priests, and chieftains of bygone eras on an isolated isle cradled by the river. punctuated by the flight of sparrowhawks on the pilgrimage to the teahouse

hiking the quiraing on isle of skye, staying in the best freaking cottage that saved our lives at 2am because of rental car tire scare, but then said refuge gave me mold poisoning (would willingly get mold poisoning from here again) coming home to the most beautiful skies i've ever seen in my life and doing it all with my best friend

i have been thinking about you a lot lately. about how i take you everywhere with me. for years when i consult psychics they never mention you being upset or uneasy in the afterlife. quite the opposite. your face blurs in my mind and i think about how lucky i am to know you.

i really miss watching naruto together and wrestling and beating the shit out of eachother and eating raw cookie dough on the floor. you understood me so well. i think a lot about how you said id go to hell but with the sweetest most genuine and loving look in your eyes that would put a preacher to shame. no judgement, just love, like you knew something the world was yet to figure out. this world tried over and over again to punish you. cops laughed while you choked on the cell floor but you have the last laugh. cruelty bothered you none. i wish i had more photos of you. i buried you with me in ireland but your body is in memphis. i love you so so much, cousin 🕊

1-3: you and me
4: you & one of our nieces i've never met

there is beauty and love in the world, i have known the taste touch and smell. there is fear and evil too.

i dont have words. wished we lived in a just world and until it is so we will all keep fighting, speaking, loving, and communing, and fighting, until we get there. and if i were to take one shoe with me around the world in multiple climates and terrain, what shoe would that be asking for a friend in need (me) by @ssarcophilus
