The precious item is purchased with money procured by our sacrifice of time. It’s a gift, because we gave of ourselves, to give it to another. We secure it with padding, and cushion it with smiles, hoping to get one back. Then we place it into a container with a squared, wrap-able […]

_______Sunrise, ________Sunset. Sunrise________Sunset________. Meaning
I spend my days in a glorious haze. Searching for ways to keep the nightmares at bay. I spend all my nights pursuing delight. Seeking to send all my demons to flight. The dawns in between, are where I am, yearning. Dusk is where I’m grasping, and hoping, for meaning. Humbly yours, j […]
Spaciousness of the Heart
We have all experienced the joys of moving, right? Be it by necessity, or by expansion, or simply by autonomous selection, most have gone through the relocation process to a new living environment. Whether the choice of living space is an apartment, flat, loft, efficiency, penthouse, townhouse, ranch house, guest house, tree house, mansion, palace, […]

In some considerations, in a different setting, and under alternative light, the bench may have been a table. But here, it was not. Eron tilted his head to the left, and glanced at the few dozen, closely-packed people, positioned […]
Oasis
The flat, dusty, brown serpent stretched out in front of him. Paris raised his eyes from his boots and gazed at a point on the horizon. At this juncture, the road was swallowed by a slowly descending, molten red-orange, half-circle that bravely fought off the impending darkness. The sky was swept with vivid hues of lavender, pink […]
The great sadness of old socks
Over time I have amassed a considerable collection of single socks. I would do a load of laundry, and find that there were a few socks that were lacking their mate. These halves of a pair I would throw into a drawer, intending that when another load of laundry was complete, I would match them with their […]
The Favorite Pair
Think of your favorite pair of shoes. The ones that you adored because they appealed to your senses, or served a utility function. They might have been tough to break in, or felt perfect immediately. The shine might have been lustrous at the start, but dulled with time. The color was likely vivid at first, […]
