Some sights and stories of inspiration. Words are mine. Photos aren’t unless explicitly noted.

This foreign tongue the mind speaks, alone, must be translated into a language you and I know. Intricacy in ideas woven by parts of speech and pauses before the breath begins again. The struggle to make sense, to make these concepts bend and break. Writing is not glamorous, it’s dirty. Man is the ultimate hypocrite and contradicts himself even amidst slaving over his creation. Yet, it is in the interim, the break between thoughts trapped and released, that I find most rewarding. xo, Ellie ©2011- 2012 elliejune.com All Rights Reserved.
