I’ve prayed on more planes

than I can count.

Some prayers were for clarity.

Some for peace.

Some simply to make it through.

And somehow,

despite turbulence, uncertainty, fear, exhaustion, or feeling completely lost in translation…

I’ve always made it to my destination.

Life has a strange way of working like that too.

For a while, I stopped noticing things.

Not because the world became less beautiful,

but because I became disconnected from myself.

For months, I felt uninspired.

Like my inner compass had gone quiet.

Then somewhere above the clouds,

with nowhere to go but forward,

I picked up my camera again.

I started documenting small things:

mountain ranges,

freeways,

shadows,

distance,

movement,

light.

And quietly,

something returned.

I immediately began selecting and editing the images from my seat,

completely unaware that this small moment

would become the beginning of this archive.

Maybe sometimes it arrives at 30,000 feet.
