Reflection

  • The Quiet

    It’s late.   I take a deep breath.   In this quiet moment I let the tears flow. I prefer to cry alone.  I’m authentic in this moment. The fear is real. The moment is surreal. I feel gratitude for the moments I have left. “One breath at a time”  I say when it’s just

    Everyone comes into my life for a reason.

  • Crazy

    I found myself sharing with someone that certain people in my immediate world bring out the “crazy” in me.  As I shared that with this person, it resonated within me as a truth.  However, as I reflect on that conversation I realize I do not want it to be my truth.  I do not want to hold or

  • Changes

    As I listen to one of my favorite bands’ latest albums, I realize how much I love the bass and drum combo of a song.

    A Moment of Truth

    Did it sting?  Did it burn?  Was it an overwhelming pain?  I cannot remember.

  • Creative Happiness

    Creative Happiness

    I have reached a crossroads of sorts in my emotional life. Or more accurately I have changed paths at the latest crossroads. As of late I find myself being happy with who I am. It had been a while since I felt true happiness. What I mean, is that I believe there are two types

  • Escape

    Escape

    I escape. Escapism is my best friend. The media of choice changes, but the desired effect and end result is always the same. Sudden change, well if I am being honest… any change to a degree, is difficult for me. The negative effect of change afflicts me at the deepest level of who I am.

  • Sixx, Is This Gonna Hurt?

    I woke up stuck for the third day in a row, or the fifth or is it the sixth? I have been stuck in writing, stuck in things of life, stuck in thought patterns, just STUCK. Reading is my mode of escapism I use to tolerate the “stuck days” but even that has been failing me

    Gray morning shields the summer sun, no songbirds heard. Commitments exist.

  • Type, Type, Type!

    Type, Type, Type!

    I was typing in a chat window the other day, when I noticed that for every single chat entry from the other person, I had two or three entries, and this made me ponder why that might be. One reason is that sometimes people I am chatting with are using smart phones (the power of

  • “I Just Called to Say I Love You”

    I unintentionally made an “affirmation scroll” today. It started as a treatment (prayer), but as I poured my thoughts and feelings onto the paper, it kept getting longer and longer. When my heart and soul agreed on a stopping point, I assessed the final product, and had two pages of tightly squeezed words. This time

  • “I Sat by the Ocean”

    “I sat by the ocean, and drank a potion, baby to erase you…” The song started all well and good, until I remember why I had removed it from my playlist. My mind took a bullet train back to the moment I realized that I was not having a nightmare, rather I was awake and

  • “Five Years Dead”

    “Five Years Dead”

    It has been five years since I was part of the Machine that makes the world go round. I have to re-enter the workforce and have been trying for a while with little success. I have taken a step back and looked at this from a metaphysical perspective and believe that this has been due

  • “Church of the Poison Mind”

    The Christ I knew as a child is not the Christ I know now. I did not have the fortune of learning of Jesus of Nazareth; instead, I studied about Jesus Christ the Savior. Jesus Christ the Savior who would be killed because of MY sin filled soul!  I would have much rather been introduced

  • Short and simple…

    Short and simple…

    That was my perception of myself for years. The fact that I am short has not changed, as time passes and my mortal body reaches the point that it has served its purpose in this realm, I get shorter, and it is just a fact. Simple, well that is a perception not a fact. A

  • Be mindful of what you ask from Life

    Communicate clear intentions; be well defined about what you want. Most importantly, be willing and prepared to accept what needs to occur in order for you to have what you asked for. Early this year I sent out a request to God (Uni) titled “Kickstart My Life” (Yes, it is a Crue reference!). What came

  • It is ugly. It is appalling.  It is heartbreaking.

    It goes by different names.  It is called domestic abuse.  It is called bullying.  It is called battering.  It is the repeated or habitual violence by one individual towards another individual.  It is WRONG!  It is a subject that many people choose to not acknowledge, less talk about.  It is condoned or viewed as acceptable
