All things blue today as well as the weather. 

2. 2. 2.  

It seems to stay true, that two things never change;

Age and time burn it into the mind;

That once we’re open, the mind pulls back. 

Retreat. Retreat. Retreat;

Numbness mixed with strength are they really different?

The mind asks under the rainy sky. 

Can you not hear the sadness drip, drip, drip?

Is there anyone ...

Dust

What’s left when the dust settles?

When the pieces are in place?

When you realize them apples?

When the missing piece fits?

When the time is now?

When you’ve found the way?

When you’ve met the one?

When the prayer is answered?

When all, is well?

And the night is quiet, the peace sets in deep, and the flow of sounds fills your spirit?

 

Thump, thump, thump, -you hea...

God is not an audience

Clocks ticking, time passing, moments, lost, chaos setting in, sadness washing over at the thoughts of disappointment. The guilt sets in as the days pass without dreaming and peace.
 

There’s a palpable grip on your chest of the feeling of opportunity, lost, and a future not seen. On top of your shoulders, the weight of the world, or at least the last season.

 

Fear, relentlessly creeps ...

Beautiful Chaos

Boundaries are meant to be challenged. 

Limits are meant to be stretched. 

Rules are meant for order. 

Routine is meant for consistency. 

Organization is meant for outcomes. 

Being challenged, stretched, and having chaos is necessary for change. 

We are meant for change.

Fear turns connection right back into fear

 

Pandemics turn acquaintances into mere observers

 

And observers into friends. 

 

Friends become either close or fall away like leaves from autumn branches

 

Leaves that fall away, everyone we’ve ever known. 

 

Every person that touches our heart in some way, helps us know and face our fears. 

 

Friends, know that eac...

Every time

Every time I have said “I just wanna die” it’s because all I wanna do is live, live abundantly in a world that’s so busy dying and decaying.

.

Every time I have said “I can’t take this anymore“ it’s because all I want to do is heal the feelings that I don’t allow myself to feel because I’m so busy numbing them.

.

Every time i have said “please let me die” it’s because I can’t wait to l...

The less I think I know

It took less than a year for us to get back to normal. It took three years to get through what made us deconstruct normal

 

It took three months for us to embrace exhaustion and stress. It took three years to understand rest.

 

It took a quarter of a year for us to forget each other. It took three years for us to remember love.

 

It took less than half a year to take what we hold...

The answer you seek…

Ask me a question. 

Ask me a question without implications about my character. 

Ask me for information and truth. 

Ask me a question that doesn’t put me in a corner or box me into a category or prevent me from understanding your perspective. 

Ask me a question that welcomes freedom within a boundary of safety. 

Ask yourself a question before asking me a question. 

Ask yourself if...

Boxes and Dreams

 

You can’t put dreams in a box. 

You can try to stash them away in a memories box with some old decoupage on it, stored away high in a closet or low under a bed or floor. 

You can’t stuff dreams into a jar. 

You can try to stuff them into a coffee jar above the stove, or empty oats jar In a kitchen cabinet. 

Dreams aren’t meant to be measured or contained. 

Dreams are incomprehe...

Infinity

Though we’ve started to turn the corner of this year, the racing thoughts and hearts skip over what’s right in front of us: a canvas of infinite possibilities!

 

We can’t seem to ignore for just once, the fear of the unknown, the anxiety of a new year, the missing pieces that seem forever lost. The circumstances and the consequences of our decisions grip us with fear. 

 

And yet time i...
