Run out of comfort with things that are smaller than you are. Run out of things that numb your feelings. Run out and findContinue reading “Run Out”

2022.
My New Year’s Resolution: To not relive the same year, over again. I don’t know if it will be “happy,” but by God, it will be new. New standards. New boundaries. New confidence. New patterns. New habits. New rules. New faith. Same me. Same game. New way of playing it. Starting with me. New ways.Continue reading “2022.”

“Normal”
The fact that I suffer is probably normal. How long I like to suffer is probably not.

Alone
Sometimes, I just need to be alone with my pen. For then, I am not alone at all. I am in the company of everyone I ever knew, And I am everywhere I have ever been. And I get to travel back there And speak with them again, laugh again And bring them back toContinue reading “Alone”

Hard Days
I understand that life can’t be a good day every day. Some days, it’s all we can do to just get through it. All you can do is hold your loved ones, hold them tight and never let them go. Because at the end of the day, if you have someone to hold, it’s aContinue reading “Hard Days”

Glimmers
When I started this website ten years ago, I called it “Glimmers”. Let me tell you why that made sense. Because at twenty-something, I could only see glimmers of truth. We did so much to keep ourselves busy, to distract ourselves. We stayed so busy, it drowned out most of reality, most of the truth.Continue reading “Glimmers”

Broken Vessels
We are all created for a purpose. Our imperfections make us even better suited to serve it. I see the beauty of life, in a mug.

Magic Eye
Sometimes, life to me feels like the old Magic Eye posters. I had a whole book of them. I remember it was dark red, paperback, with a slick cover. I remember the feel of it in my hands. I guess I spent a lot of time looking at those posters. I would stare at eachContinue reading “Magic Eye”

I AM…
Why do we spend so much time letting other people decide what we are and what we’re not? Why do we spend so much of our mental energy believing them? Our opinion of us has to be greater than the opinions of others, and so much more important. Only you hold the power to be,Continue reading “I AM…”

This is My Dad
This is my dad. He loves to play the piano. He plays the piano like people should live life. He plays straight from the heart. You know how I know that? Because his memory is pretty much shot, stolen from him partially by illness and the rest, by the medicines he had to take toContinue reading “This is My Dad”

Stargazer
I can’t help it. I love looking at the stars. So, tonight, for maybe the third time this week, I’m staring at a night sky and trying to get my bearings enough to find this comet. I don’t know what makes it different from any other comet, but I know they said it won’t beContinue reading “Stargazer”

Empathy
The key to life, empathy. It answers all the questions on our minds right now. Do I really need to wear a mask? Empathy. Why are they taking down all the statues? Empathy. What if racism still exists? Empathy. How do we get through this divide? … Empathy.
