Each person is one of one; not one of many. 1/1 only, like none before and none to come.
[Adapted from Pharrell Williams and Jay-Z]
I don't have much interest in the world of over-praised celebrities, but I heard this comment and it rang true. While some of us may find these famous people don't have much to say that is of significant value to us, there is the occasional moment when their words and thoughts come together in a poetic way that stands above everything else they've said or done. The catch is that we need to be able to pick those bits out.
A beautiful and simple way of expressing the uniqueness of each person that ever has and ever will live.
A place where a variety of topics will be discussed. Music, books, movies, recipes, personal experiences and social issues are amongst the topics I hope to write about in the future.

Photo & Eternal Rest
I recently realised that I have not explained the picture I have for a 'DP'. I must give credit to YouTuber epicLLOYD. It is a still from his music video "Pawn" and as far as I can deduce, the woman is his lovely wife, Josie. Mrs Ahlquist has a blog also, which is a combination of personal stories and posts in relation to her dissertation.
I used it purely because I enjoyed the video and I love the costume she wears. The whole screenshot is something I felt drawn towards and I ended up using it for my Gmail photo.
Also, for those who read the homepage in conjunction with updates on other pages, here is a small note about my new creative piece, "Eternal Rest". Whether or not it is noticed that it has a 'morbid' air about it, I wish to say that I am not being depressive, but reflective on funeral conventions. Most particular is how we talk to those who have passed as though they can hear us. My thoughts on that I will not share right now, but I hope it evokes some thought and that others can relate in some way. This one, I think, can draw on each person's individual experiences in such a situation.
