The Other Recovery
Recovery and INFJ Personalities “You’re just giving things too much credence.” My brother said astutely. The subject was recovery, and in specific, why the fellowship aspect of the program doesn’t really work for me. With over twenty years, he was going to fill me in on his wisdom.

Unbearable
Photo by Leon Macapagal from Pexels Life’s not Baseball… fair, or foul, you are expected to run the bases. The plane would only take a few hours to get there.

The New Myans
The New Mayans Is modern religion too savage for humanities future? The rituals and traditions were savage and brutal. Human life was not a sacred right, as much as a tool of appeasing the Gods. They must be enlightened, and brought into the new world… As much as this sounds like the beginning of the Spanish…

Healing Hard
Maybe it’s from the suicidal idolization thinking that I held for so many years, an escape mechanism from the overwhelming that I find myself here again.

Planting Now’s in the Gardens of Then
Planting Now’s in the Gardens of Then Curating a path to being in the emotional present. While pondering a word prompt, patience, from another piece, the umpire-ical outlook on the natures of us that I tend to fall down took hold. As I examined my patience that metaphysical door opened up a bit. I must be…

The Curious Commodity of Common Sense
The Curious Commodity of Common Sense You may not know how you know, and that’s the problem. American patriot Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet a few hundred years ago, that curiously says quite a bit about where we stand today as a country. About seven years ago, I heard the saying that you didn’t get…

The Sacrificed
The Sacrificed Stop looking to the past for answers to school shootings. The ability to breathe has been taken away from me. That’s not a nod to the poetic, I have physically lost my breath, overwhelmed… again. wendel moretti — Pexels The smiles can only be seen in pictures, the joys of friendship are just…

Gilligan
It’s been months since I visited this introspect development area. It’s not for reasons of neglect as much as growth, or change? I haven’t been able to decipher the answer to that yet, maybe that’s why I am here now on my walkabout? This look at the cast members that perform in my psyche, as…

Surrogates of Sexism
In a world of double standards, is the torch is being passed? Misogyny is going to be spoken of quite a bit over this election cycle. With the amount of women running for President at an all time high, the need for discertion and understanding will be necessary. That word will be brought out and…

Salem Syndrome 2020
“You aren’t going to get the job… You’re going to go to prison… They’re going to kill me!” All of the self talk that has more than likely happened at least once in our lives. I myself can apply a few memories to those voices, but like anyone I know, I have thought those same…
