Heaven is in black and white... but here on earth we were given colours to play with to see why they're there. Playing while knowing you do not need them, worries dissolve into air.
Wings of desire.

Wings of desire.
A woman in the rain who folded up her umbrella, and let herself get drenched.
A schoolboy describing to his teacher, how a fern grew out of the earth, and the astonished teacher.
A blind woman who sensed my presence, and groped at her watch.
It’s wonderful to live as spirit and testify for all eternity, to only what is spiritual in peoples’ minds…but sometimes I get fed up with this spiritual existence. I don’t want to always hover above. I’d rather feel a weight within. Casting off this boundless freedom and tying me to the earth. At every step, every gust of wind, I’d be able to say “now”, “now” and “now”. No longer “forever” and “for eternity”.
if nature is a balance.
what is the sun if there is no darkness in which to light?
how could the sun rest if it had no night?
i don't want to be a clean canvas on for others to write.
this purity is for something as pure-
i can follow you alongside.
heaven, my friend,
is in black and white.

Here's a great photo from a shoot my friend Serichai styled at my store... the photography was Andy Lin and that model there is Shannon Tillery and I'm pretty sure she's an angel too.
