The best kind of meet and greet.
With my trip nearing its end, the sight of day one-hundred thirty-three cannot be met with the overflowing tank of energy that poured into my first days. Not to say that I’m no longer loud, excited, or going two-hundred miles an hour, taking in all the sights. It’s just to say that those things, the … More Dear Fuel,
You are probably the most vague essence I have written to yet because you are both literal, referring to the sight that comes from eyeballs, and hypothetical referring to the insight that comes from perspective, backgrounds, and information; vision both external and internal. This weekend I saw some of your best landscape and oceanic forms. … More Dear Views,
I wanted to travel through Europe for many reasons, but one of them was to work on you in a new way. If given the opportunity, one should never refuse the chance to experience new perspectives and personal lives lived out before their very eyes.

You are so inviting, open, and strong; the combination of these three is among your greatest qualities. You plan trips and activities for everyone, taking it on as … More Dear Human,

I have subconsciously given you a weighty amount of power in my life and it is almost laughable that I am finally realizing your strength after 20 years into the game of life. Fortunately, you’ve been a positive contributor so this isn’t sending … More Dear Perspective,
I love your unpredictable and transparent self. You are dependable in that you always produce, but I have recently come to notice that there are only some cases of your purest form. During my first week in London I was emerged in the rush of things as I hurried through the tube when your sounds … More Dear Live Music,
