Blog Check-in
Just a note on the blog here, I have searched for weeks to try to find some sort of fix for the issues. But it appears WordPress isn’t supporting the theme in which I built and put years of work into. That means if I want to have some basic functionality in my editor, the…

The Gravity of Time
It is an extended loss, a wealth of the unknown, and often the inability to find closure or completion to everyday tasks.

Buoyancy
I am pretty sure others have their point of the year. That time when the epitome’s of life desire a turn in the path, a jog in another direction. The existential nature, and nurture takes hold of long term visions, shorter term goals, and life’s eventualities… If it doesn’t work, try something else. Historically these…

Apologies
Sorry for the delay on my next piece. I have been ill, and have the opposite of writer’s block. Too many stories trying to come out at the same time, it will sort itself out. 🙂

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…

Reality Roulette
In engineering terms, a datum is a point in which a part or object is measured from, a fixed position. Each point thereafter can be measured against the datum for accuracy and functionality. The reason for this is simple, mechanisms don’t work if the parts don’t fit together properly. Call me the ever curious kid,…

Soul Spooning
“There was such an attraction it pulled me completely from my physical being. A touch would ruin the bond, a whisper would scatter it away in the wind. It was the bare soul, that amazing soul that carried so much joy. The searching for that touch, aching, and empty, a yearning for… soul spooning.” –…

Human Climate Change – Life’s Hurricanes
The calm and quiet belie the danger, a temporary reprieve, a chance for action or an extreme lesson in patience. Crawling out from whatever devastation when it is all over on this day, going forward into the next awaiting the storms once again. The analogy to life itself painfully accurate, the reminders all around. The…

The Children of Fears
Castigated, chastised… reeling in anticipated consequences. The once great populace curdling into fetid chunks of mold. This is no more than an infantile reaction to various inputs..en masse… Trying to dig down into the bedrock of us these days is impossible. The constant accumulation of muck is too slippery to be caught up in the…

Painting on Water
I stood within my reflection, I gathered all of the colors of life, and began again…to paint on water. That picture or essence has been writing me for the last week. A connection to something outside of myself that I am examining at the moment. Life is but brush strokes washed away as quickly as…

Start Here
Here it is a few days out from Thanksgiving, sitting around and reading the news and stories with my morning coffee. Gratitude is a funny camper at times and as much as I went over in my mind of what I am thankful for, I must have missed a few rooms off of the heart.…

Me Too
Eventually I knew I would have to put some words down about this;… Correction, some emotions down on this. This is as personal as it gets, and it is raw and unfiltered as anything can be because there is no guide or plan to deal with this condition. The internet is abuzz with real allegations,…

The Hand Up Project – People Mean Something
The path led off of the sidewalk into the woods, garbage strewn everywhere, human waste could be the substance you step in instead of mud. Under a piece of plastic drug up from the piles a shivering teen girl, soaking wet from the constant downpour that has lasted for days; Sticks a tiny needle in…

Slow Walking Superman
Yes, there is a certain amounts of life that just happens, and there are certain amounts that you aspire to. When I was pulled over on that September night back in 2011, I was at my end of ends. My jig was up and the escapism and self destruction came down to a set of…

How Does it Feel?
A friend of mine brought up a good question, and one that parlays into what I am going through these days as well. While I will edit the wording, he asked “What does Un-F^&ked feel like? At first a skim over the senses and a properly witted response followed. The remembering my place in all…

Eminent Education
We have all heard the phrase before, “It’s for the children.” In the best intentions much is done with that refrain in mind. We are asked to vote on, and are taxed by, we support their extracurricular activities, and defend their rights to a fair and proper education. We even move when we are in…

The Stars to Guide Me
Once again in too short of order, another friend has joined those I pray to now instead of for. I still pray for him, it’s just different. There were five and now there is two, A rag tag bunch of brothers from other mother’s. As wildly different, and at the same time attached at the…

What Might Have Been
Well the school experiment is not going to work out it seems. The instructors are fine, and they teach a great class. Though the need to explain myself has one teacher thinking of them as simply excuses, and sometimes an eye roll. I am not going to apologize for this though, I am not going…

Life’s Reformatting
“How are you?” I was asked by my friend and sponsor this weekend. I was almost taken back by my reply as I was the realization I had at the same moment. “I am just great! My situation is dire, but I am great.” Pause… Did I just say that with perfect honesty and without…
