What can be

 "Imagination alone offers me some intimation of what can be"
Quoted from Andre Bretons "First Manifesto of Realism"

"Imaginarium" by Igor Morski (Surrealist painting)

What can be? This question has always plagued me since I came across this quote while reading Bretons work aboard that plane.

I find myself stuck in what has been instead of looking towards what can become..

My imagination is vast and filled with lots of possibilities of where my life will take me, but it is always my past in which haunts these dreams. Escaping and physically coming to Hawaii was easy. It has been the mental escape in which troubles me.

<Nothing is gone until you say it is>

Boarding the plane from my hometown, I watched through the cabin windows as the distinctive features of this familiar city slipped from my view. Although my hometown was plagued with the nightmares of my childhood, it was also filled with the memories of a life here...

 The weekend trips to the woods with friends

The hot tea sipping days at the rainy beach

The Art I always admired covering the city walls

The countless hours spent overlooking the windy hour when I needed an escape

Taken from "Brook no Boundary"

The leaving was sad but the possibility of new beginnings was freeing. 

What can be? 

Once I officially let go of the what has been I can let my imagination take off...

Exploring into the unknown

This is not an ending. 

(Time to say farewell)
