It was everything I could do, want, and be, that man that you could love and need. It was all that I could possibly desire, to be the one to light those fires. I was the bastion, the fortress, the high ground, the steadfastness when you felt down. I was the light, the warmth and […]

Everything is a choice
The commonly voiced excuse for not doing something is……. “I just don’t have enough time!’ Or, closely related to this excuse…. “I’m just not sure how I can find the time to get {something} done.” Permit me to highlight the lack of true perception relating to these comments. Not having enough time is a, well, not […]
What you truly need…..
In all the ways that you neglected me, she was there. In all the ways you abandoned me, she stood by my side. In all the ways you chose not to understand me she was considerate. In all the ways you ignored my simple needs, She satisfied. When I needed to feel the universe, She […]
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 […]

The Erosion of Time
Do you remember photo albums? Do you remember the true photo albums, and not the 10101010 holding spot associated with your “library” on your computer? Do you recall the plasticine pages that stuck to each other, smelling of a weird amalgamate of chemicals, needing to be surgically peeled from one another to advance the memories? […]
The Statue
Paris took a very regular route to and from the tower. With little deviation he passed the vendors, and houses, and people, and carts, and barrels, and open windows to meals, and closed ones to arguments. His daily travel to and from his source of income shifted and twisted very little. A left here at […]
Energy and Balance
In science, the law of the conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created or destroyed; rather it transfers from one form to another. To say this another way, the amount of energy is finite, and can’t be generated or eliminated, but simply shifts its type. There are many examples of this type […]
