Starving For Grace
We live in a world where gracelessness is the fuel that runs this machine called society. “At least they got what they deserved.” “We’ll teach them a lesson.” “Nothing is free.” “If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.” “God helps those who help themselves.” It is a very human attitude. We Continue reading

Smudgy Pictures of the Future, AKA "I have no idea what I am doing."
Here I am again. This is too familiar, but each time I go through the same old worry, same old freak-out, same old resolution and finally, a sense of peace. The future feels blurry, and in my humanness, blurry feels scary. I have vague impressions, colors and smudgy lines. Words and songs, faces, images. But Continue reading

The Grand Finale
Every year we gather under a sweaty darkening sky. The July heat surrounds us, pressing down on us, reminding us why air conditioning was invented. We round up little ones, hold hands with lovers, hold our breaths and wait for the show to begin. Boom! Crash! Sounds like thunder, bright as lightening, but the sky Continue reading

Not rebellion in a sense of fighting against what is good and true, actually the very opposite. When Continue reading

Jeff is an excellent communicator and offers tons of great advice on art, creativity, blogging and making a difference in the world. I recommend his blog to everyone interested in writing.

Sentimental Schnitzel
Sometimes I feel like I am an “old soul.” Perhaps everyone has felt like that from time to time, especially those too self-aware for their own good. I long for more simple days. As many people do, I wonder what it would be like to live in the world without technology. Recently I went to Continue reading

Top Three Do or DIE
Sometimes it is good to sit back and reevaluate my life. Not in a way that analyzes it to pieces, more in a way that nourishes dreams which have been previously starved to death by my own cynicism or just plain laziness. I need to remind myself of what makes me come alive, and then Continue reading

Grace My Feet- Life Changes, Writing & Itineration
Check it. Comments, opinions, please. I’ve been wanting to do videos to my poems for awhile, I did one a few years back, but it got deleted when my youtube account was hacked. In the future, I hope to actually get more video and less pictures, but we will see. Side note/bragging excitement: This Continue reading

Both a War Ballad and Lullaby
Drops of water jump from heaven singing as they hit every object below They each play their own tune melding into a odd orchestra bringing sky and earth together connecting atmosphere with underground and I, stuck watching,waiting in this in between place listen and hear the lyrics, clearly: this is a place of darkness, light Continue reading
