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.

Hello
my darling, sleeping in this bed, waiting until there’s only now and no tomorrow; each cell a masterpiece of sound and I celebrate the beauty that has come into my life. Slowly, sun lifts from eyebrow to eyebrow, yawns across the sky and grants us a grin– now tell me again of this thingContinue reading “Hello”
What are we?
And what have we done? We are our inheritance and we are our choices and we are our practices. Now, what can we do from here? January 29, 2016
Things
Whatever comes naturally– that is the “right” thing that is the “wrong” thing well, it’s just a “thing.” Perhaps it’s “nothing.” This feeling of trying to reach out and grasp an answer out of thin air I’ve been chasing it for a long, long time, but not as long as I have been breathing, kicking,Continue reading “Things”
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.

The Fight

The basement party at twenty. The busy conference room at thirty. But I don’t want to hide. I don’t have anythingContinue reading “The Fight”
Now
The subtle dream of reality is nothing but a dream– in words, in thoughts, in praises and deeds– but when all is quiet, all the music turned off, there is still a gentle hum, the remains of reality drifting peacefully in, “Now.” October 30, 2015
Be Still
It’s been a while since the clock struck twelve and all the world was quiet– all the past forgiven, no sirens a-screamin, just belief in the silence, in the tears. The sky has cried and so have I to release all this strange human guilt, for puddles aside, we can read all the lies: theContinue reading “Be Still”
Finding Warmth
Time may very well not be what we think it is– the psychological nonsense of “yesterday” versus “tomorrow” leaves my skin cold, begging for the road to lead me somewhere, anywhere where life is precious, held, loved where not all questions must come with an answer where “Now” is rapped up safe in a blanket,Continue reading “Finding Warmth”
