At a certain point, we become aware that our lives have a certain trajectory. Some believe that it has been preset since the day we are born. We may choose to fight against it all we want, but that’s wastefully pointless. It’s best to accept whatever course that you are on. Life is like a […]

Stasis
I can see mountains, but don’t know their shape. I can feel features, but don’t know your face. I can see the sun, but don’t feel it’s warmth on my skin. I know all the answers, just don’t know how to begin again. I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive, but paralyzed. I can […]
Spectrum
Remember. Do you remember? Do you recall that time you asked me to look to the sky? Does it still play out in your mind? Does the memory of that sunny day still make your skin feel warm, even when there is a chill outside? Can you recall how the grass tickled your feet as […]
I’m here for you! (As long as there’s drama)
Many years ago I stumbled upon a quirky, creative, and insightful movie. This movie featured several scenes involving fairly prominent actors. The short scenes totaled no more than several minutes each. Each scene highlighted a different theme ranging from humorous, to scientific, to melancholy, and even ironic. Each short had different actors. In one, Bill Murray […]
The given moments
All of this each fleeting second all passing moments every ticking minute each counted hour and guaranteed day all worked away weeks and planned on months and goal setting years. even the wisdom-granting decades.

They sparked amongst the flames, chilled on the tundras of ice, bounded from rock to rock, and swam into the waves. They pulsed with happiness, and rolled with sadness, careened off nothingness, they […]
Desideratum
Take my clothes and I shield myself, with rags of memory. Remove the sun and stars from the sky, and I’ll start a fire. Take my money, my job, and my security, and I’ll beg to live. Seize my music and I’ll listen, to the birds, and the beats of my heart. Wrest from me […]
Anticipation-Letdown
Do you remember that intense excitement? Do you recall the degree of anticipation? Can you feel the intense desire for that highly sought after experience? Perhaps, when you were a young child, there was a planned trip to an amusement park. You had the knowledge weeks in advance of the date of the trip. As the […]
Elements of Progression
Eyes forward. One foot in front of the other. Eyes forward. One foot in front of the other. Eyes forward. One foot in front of the other. I have a passion. I really, truly, love to hike. Sometimes I hike with friends, sometimes I hike alone. Tandem hikes breed companionship, closeness, and understanding between two, […]
Before Care, and Love……
There are a million ways to show someone that you care. And just as many ways to show love. Some, choose to demonstrate care through specific actions. Offering to make a special trip to the store to pick up a forgotten prescription, is an example. Preparing dinner and cleaning up all the dishes is a caring […]
