Reflections on the mangrove habitat of Singapore

I'm in the same place again, just on another day. I watch my past walk through this place, I watch my footprints disappear. I close my eyes & hope to keep this place, so distant, so alive in my mind.

There is a strange joy & peace that fills my soul. The brilliance in the boldness of nature. A state of being by the elements that keeps me afloat in the raw reality of the world. Because I drown & struggle, I gasp & panic in my artificial crib. I cannot breathe or comprehend, I question & judge. But what is there to judge with nature? It presents to you with all of itself, in its entirety - Selfless, pure & unafraid; In all its brilliance & confidence, with all its confidence & brilliance.

This is the nature I present to you & this, I behold.
