To look upon a lover and see new life coming into being… when you didn’t know that life was beyond a baby and a cradle, that this moment of one life manifested with another that is god damn beautiful enough to allow a new life to emerge– a love that is a life itself.

Should
Maybe I should write more; maybe I should change the story; maybe I should wear a shirt when it rains and nothing else; maybe I should pretend I don’t feel other people’s pain; maybe I should go over there and explain; maybe I should keeping looking for love in all the wrong places; maybe IContinue reading “Should”
Believing
Believing that you can… Believing that you are worth it… Believing that you deserve it… It’s a practice. Do you believe? Who’s stopping you? March 5, 2017
To Be Me
What a struggle to be me, sitting here so patiently waiting for a new train to come, the last one long gone, gone, gone… We need nothing, and yet there is longing; we want everything, and yet here it is: everything, sitting on some stone in my backyard. All alone, it has sat. Continue reading “To Be Me”

All
It’s all about leaning forward. In the moments fear grabs your neck like a thief and you don’t know where you belong– the sky or the ground– realize that all we can do is lean into the moment. It’s all about being honest with yourself, about yourself. In the times joy cradles youContinue reading “All”
The Revenant
Last night, at the movie, you sat next to me. The theater was full, I sat alone between you and three guys, conscious of my singleness. But then you rolled over, to share his faux leather recliner, and I smiled. Most of the time, my independence likes being alone. It getsContinue reading “The Revenant”
