The Open Door

Tristan Robert Lange


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 πŸ‘“, Write ✍️, Rise πŸŒ…, Realize 🀯.

Tristan πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›
light from open door
creates a pathway forward
into the shadows.

        Doh! Now I've stepped into darkness and can't see a thing. Fat lot of us that was to me! But wait, it's a lot of us to us - we won't be able to see Popeye's antics. But we'll still hear the glugs! We knew we couldn't escape him completely. heehee.

        • Tristan Robert Lange

          Orchi πŸ˜‚ well now we’re all just standing in the dark listening for glugs like it’s some kind of warning system…this is what we’ve become. What are the warning about. Wish we could, but WCAT! πŸšͺπŸŒ‘βœ¨πŸ™
