A Brief Daze Into The Air Above
There are times when the spirit floats between reality and a place of divine peace. As black people, the harsh realities of this world don’t always allow us time to linger there. This piece explores that peaceful place our mind takes us when escaping reality, even if only for a moment.
A moment in the ethereal.
