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 👓, Write ✍️, Rise 🌅, Realize 🤯.

they smile
because they’re in—
she talks to them,
acknowledges them,
laughs with them,
before us all—
because they’re in
proximity
to power,
watching the leader,
following the preacher
of the hour.
this is all very sour—
proximity to power
turns a dancer to a
wallflower.
but I won’t scour
over proximity
nor will I move
proxime
to become approximately
Jacob climbing a ladder
to be on a pedestal
only God should be.
