between the steps....

it's been more than a week since the solo @ project gallery... 

the time seems to be moving some what slower these days.....

the transitional stage between the steps.....

comforting but intimidating in a strange way..,...

searching for something new but same time longing for the familiar ground that once i run across...

well again... it's a time to face myself.....
