So, for all of your wanderings around the internet, you have come across this little blog, my corner of the world.

The idea to title this blog 'Velvet Boxes' spawned from a small lyric by the band Augustana. It is my terminology for the small tidbits of wonderment in my life. Here you'll find things that amuse me, random thoughts about random subjects, photos, etc. Through all of this, you'll get a feeling for who I am as a person and why. I have taken a liking to creating "quote graphics," so you'll find that plastered mostly here as well.

So, sit. Relax. Have some tea. Enjoy.

"A poem needs understanding from the senses. The point of diving in a lake is not immediately to swim to the shore, but to be in the lake; to luxuriate in the sense of the water. You do not work the lake out. It is an experience beyond thought. Poetry soothes and emboldens the soul to except a mystery."

John Keats (played by Ben Whishaw) from Jane Campion’s film Bright Star
