It is the year of my return. I have loved oh I have loved and I have been loved oh how I’ve been loved and I am loved oh how I am loved and I am love. Oh, I am love! The girl in last picture is making a come back because I’ve become the person that would have protected her. I think she would be proud of our life. She would marvel at the people and magic that now surrounds us. Thank you to my dear parents for opening the portal even though sometimes I still want to sue you for making me be born. I won’t waste the trip though. Watch out world! This is the year of my return. Thank you deeply to everyone who has shown me love and those who have shown me darkness - because that too was a gift. I love you. “ It is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in this broken world”. - Mary Oliver 🎂✨✨✨🌊🌱❤️❤️❤️ by @stephonik

I want to tell you what’s going on but also want you to find out what’s going on .. yes, this is me singing and I was lost a bit in the dark but there is so much light at the top of the trees now and I’m singing to the patterns. I like the patterns now. I’m hoping you are finding the glimmers in the corridor or know at least that you will find them once again. I think everything is always working out for you. May we remember this? Why not just for today, whisper to someone, “ the best is yet to come “ and mean it. My neighbor Athena whispers this. I want to be her for you. There is no real way off this ride.. please come dance with me. Lots of news soon. Unbelievable freedom news!! I miss you . S 🌊🤍🌱

My cover of #BleedingLove in collaboration with @matineeidolmusic for the Bleeding Love film soundtrack is here on ITunes, Spotify and Apple music! Making a film with director @emma.westenberg was a dream come true and this song was sung with love in my little airbnb while shooting and with the loudest furnace known to human in the background. My dear friend @theodorepagano also known as @matineeidolmusic was there just when I needed him. If Emma needed a song we were gonna deliver a song ! We cleaned it up a bit since the airbnb version. Thank you @samknaak for mixing and mastering. This is really a new beginning for me as songs now seem to be flowing again and i’m here to catch them. It is a tremendous thing to work with a director that allows all involved to feel seen. This picture was taken on set where I was dressed impeccably by rock star costume designers @hardemansworld and @americaneon . Makeup by the great @wyodajane and hair by @danivbarber .📸 by dear artist Dean Squibb. What a time. Here is to more more more ! I am sending love as best as I can to the world today. I hope you can feel it. 💔🤍🩶🩵🩷🤎💙❤️💜🧡❤️‍🔥💛💚💗❤️‍🔥 #bleedinglovefilm by @stephonik

You could just pull the whole thing out. We will watch from windows lit. No need to tell us why. We remember the basement. Bambi’s brother hit their head once after slipping on the wet floor that was smooth cement painted blue and we acted slowly. Bambi screaming into the darkness left you shaking until dinner. He was fine. I tried to find the switch in the dark. Oh that final shape in my hands! The heavy click of the switch made you all gasp. The dust from my fingers left marks on my face that you laughed at once we were under real light when Keith brought three sodas from Uncle Bill’s. One was for Anthony’s head. You said the bubbles were bigger than other kinds of soda. You said that’s why Aunt Marian buys Topo Chico, because of the big bubbles, she drinks it with gin and a splash of tonic every night on the porch when the sun sinks down. If you ask her, she will tell you about the bubbles. If you ask her there have always been gaggles of kids like us before and there is something she will tell you that we didn’t know about each of our parents. Until we do. Until we do. by @stephonik

It begins. All still clean before too much touch.
I am here at the border of our love.
I will try not to remember all of the things i’ve done, except if that helps. What things will I never do again? One never knows. The last heavy blink eventually stays. i will still listen for the last note. by @stephonik

there is someone to go home to
there is someone to go home to in the dark
in the wide fall from the start
that same that you ever were
still there
still there
somehow we stand or we crawl
or we take one deep breath
on our backs
deciding we will still do
we will still do taken in St. Louis, Missouri by @stephonik
