You’ve seen them, played with them, been intrigued by them, and put them away. How did you put them away? Did you do so as multiple pieces? Did you do so as a whole? Did you question whether it should be considered many, or parts? Might you, like myself, often try to recall what this […]

Say Goodnight….
Of all the dreams I have when I’m awake, The best are about finding sleep. I’ll yearn not for currency and wealth, Sustenance and supplement, acceptance and embrace, death and dying, Futures and frivolities, power and politics, gods and deities, Passion and pain, Fear and failure, happiness, catharsis, coitus, or when I will rest.

Tomorrow, when the sun comes up
The power inherent in words and communication is immeasurable. Wielding this simple, yet diversely functional tool of communication, we have at our disposal the ability to destroy. Alternatively, we have the building blocks of creation. We have the power to express all degrees of emotion, sadness, joy, melancholy, confusion, despair, frustration, fear, and anger. We have […]

“If my answers frighten you, than you should stop asking scary questions.” Admittedly, this quote is sourced from Jules, a dynamic character engaged in a transitional/soul-searching endeavor during his part of the movie Pulp Fiction. The scenario is tense, and that the culmination of the conversation resolves in such a weighty declaration is of little surprise. […]
The Coward

The coward shirks, and points, instead of admission. He is spineless. She is weak. He lies prone, in abject defeat. He is callow. She is meek. All are helpless, in […]
