Tomorrow will rise again.
the morning I looked into the blinding sun
where nothing moved but the fire
as it blazed
with a fury—
unkind to all those it met
I held my breath in
gently gulping it like a pill,
wishing
for relief that never came
in those hurried moments
we drove
down our hazy street
I looked up into
today’s tomorrow
hoping we can rise together
again

We are the lucky ones.
In the wake of the devastating fires ravaging Los Angeles County, including the Eaton Fire that directly impacts us and my community, my immediate desire is to help as many people, fellow artists, and neighbors as possible through my art and photography.
I feel very fortunate that I still have a home to return to, while others, including dear friends and neighbors, have lost theirs completely. I recognize that I am just one person that’s trying their best to provide relief, so here’s how you can help:
