The type of energy that you put out into the world, is the type of energy that you will return to you. Humbly yours, J

Stop. Listen.
Stop. Listen. What do you hear? Do you hear the chirping of birds? Do you hear the wind in the trees? Do you hear nothing at all? Do any of these sounds fill you with a sense of anger or stress? Do you tense up at the sound of rain falling upon the ground? Do […]
Contemplation
Appeal to others, with the assumption that their disposition is open, but beg not for understanding, from ones whose minds have routinely proven closed to you. Humbly yours, J
Falling, Falling, Down
When we are young, very young, we fall many, many times as we learn how to stand on our feet. Even after we manage to gain our first footing, we still fall over and over and over again, as we figure out how to stabilize the new stance on our feet. Then, we try to […]

The act of turning on a faucet, and letting water flow, is a very unremarkable act. We do this many times in a given day. And each time we perform the action, we think very little about what we are doing, how it is being done, or even what is occurring when we are doing […]

Propulsion
I remember being a scrawny youth, a mere twelve years old, and having recently returned from living overseas for five years in China. I was enrolled in the nearby high school, and was preparing to enter eighth grade, admittedly, being a bit young for that time. I had managed to skip first grade, and thus, […]
Beyond Beauty
Thy beauty, fickle doth it play upon my youthful vanities. Radiant doth it burn upon my tender sensibilities. Passionately doth it wrest my gaze and redirect my steps. Insistently, doth it create smoldering sensations in my loins. Heat, be the feeling on my skin. Damp, then, the beads on my brow. Pulsating, be the […]
