Bold expressions. Overt undertones. Contrasting canvasses. An arresting awareness of things optically, orally and aromatically atypical. An absorption of, immersion and participation in, the manifold encounters of cultural consonance and dissonance.

I’m pressed to consider the new
I’m pressed to adopt the unfamiliar
I’m pressed to adjust periphery
I’m pressed to admire
I’m pressed to accept and embrace
I’m pressed to understand
I’m pressed to listen astutely
I’m pressed to look deeper
I’m pressed to learn richly
I’m pressed to laugh
I’m pressed to enjoy immeasurably
I’m pressed to adapt
I’m pressed to respond
I’m pressed to challenge preconceptions and prejudices
I’m pressed to be patient
I’m pressed to weep
I’m pressed to tailor expectations
I’m pressed to soak in the spectacular
I’m pressed to absorb the awesome
I’m pressed to reflect and consider
I’m pressed to give thanks
I’m pressed.

Impressions that sculpt, craft, blend, meld. Impressions etching, altering, stretching and illuminating. Impressions merging experience, anchoring memories. Impressions solidifying the ephemeral, captured eternal. Im-pressed.
