Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Life is full of seasons. This is a season of transition for me, where I will be moving with my family to a new location. As such, with much logistics to consider, I am doing my best to keep up. Please know if I accidentally don't respond, it is not because I am ghosting or becoming distant. Once things settle after the move, I am sure life will return to some normalcy. In the meantime, and always:
Read π, Write βοΈ, Rise π , Realize π€―.

I fear the fence-like cages
Surrounding the place we'd dance,
A cemetery of cemented certainty
Where the hope for better lives
Hits the button of mass destruction.
Sunshine is smothered by the smoke
Leaving carbon marks on pristine curtains.
Left reaching through chain links
Are those of us awake enough to see
We are not animals at the zoo.
