geniuses we are.


[elle decor]

"Everybody is a genius.
but if you judge a fish
by its ability to climb a tree,
it will live its
whole life believing that
it is stupid" [Albert Einstein].


a deep breathe in.
my, this rings true. I feel sometimes as if I am like that fish, perhaps being compared to people who have very different strengths than I. Maybe not even strengths, but more so interests.
However, we cannot compare our abilities, for we are such different beings - all of us!

To me, genius is beauty. Not superficial but real, raw and heart-pounding beauty.
Genius is desire, a craving for more -
A smile and a laugh.
Genius is that knowledge that we are all one and that the world is and always has been good -
A moment of pause for thankfulness for our mouthwatering food.
Genius lies in poetry and in broken phrases that we try to let out to show others how we feel.


to me, this is my genius.
What is yours?
