wind phones, coming home, [un] doing philosophy

where i curate rabbit holes :)

good morning 🍂🍃

i write to you from a crisp fall morning in sf. today’s issue features the usual eclectic bazaar of introspective portals, whimsy spaces, creative crests, and infinite vibescapes. i honestly have no idea how after 4 years, something within still compels me to compile each monthly issue. i believe it has something to do with freedom. and the act of manic rabbit hole-ing which compels that ethos. or the ability to meet myself more deeply and honestly in that hall of mirrors. heaven and hell transforming and scintillating in that corpus of consciousness expressing itself to itself. the internet. or the promise that some seed will be planted, some mask flung off, a quickening of the pulse, a shiver of the heart. will lead a soul to rest into itself more deeply. in a system that compels, contorts, and constricts. music will be created.

thank you for staying the course with me 🫶

without further ado.

Here are the visuals, words, poetry, and art so far that stirred my soul for the month of October:
