Fog is ideal. At least it’s not my head making it hard to see, to understand.

This is what the world looks like right now. This is what everyone is seeing, right now.

New fave: Atlas of cursed places aesthetics

[vanpeltfoto]

This is a staircase, no more, no less. A measured ascent, timber and steel, cut against a generous sky.

Do not search for metaphor here. No transcendence. No parable. Only structure, direction, surface — a path that goes upward because someone built it that way.

Whatever meaning remains is yours to resist. This is a staircase, no more, no less.

Can I live my life within this frame of mind? I hope so — for I must.

This is a church, no more, no less. Do not build a story in my head.

It doesn’t mean anything. The world is exactly what I see — stone, shadow, structure, a tower against the sky.

Whatever significance remains is mine to withhold. I cannot interpret, guess, or wish.

This is a church, no more, no less. Do not build a story in my head.
