2020 = Growth

Hey everyone! I have been gone for a long time yet again. Caught up in the business of life. Drowning in the surrealism and stillness of these pandemic daydreams. Growing in the buried and darkened places. For several months I have had so many thoughts. Hardships. Encouragement. Victories. So much to share with no time …
