It’s interesting how much we look forward to changes in our environment. In winter, we look for the colors of spring. In summer, we look for the colors of autumn. We look forward to the temperature getting lower, or higher. Occasionally, we think, “What a nice day it is today!” But usually, we find the lacking before we find the beauty. When we do find … Continue reading When Comes the Color
If you have seen my newest poetry chapbook, you know I deal with depression. Depression is not something I would wish on anyone, but it has given me a unique perspective on mortality. Death is beautiful. I have no fear of death. I’m not physically reckless because I don’t want to be injured. I’m not financially reckless either, because I like having a home and … Continue reading Beautiful Death
Mediating on different subjects is a wonderful thing to do, but it’s not meditation. To me, meditation, by definition, is on nothing. Yet, every other article on the subject is about meditating on nature, on change, on your purpose.. on something. When you are starting out, it can be useful to have something to think about. And it is always good to take time out … Continue reading Meditating on Nothing
If anyone is to ever know us – if anyone is to ever truly love us – we must be honest with ourselves, and then be honest with the world. Our differences are what make us unique humans. Our scars, inside and out, are what we should be most proud of. There are so many things that we hide: Who we were; Who we are; … Continue reading Counting Scars
I ordered some author’s copies of my books. If you have not yet published your work, I cannot recommend it enough. Those of you who have published – you know what I’m talking about when I say how amazing this feels. What kept me from doing this years ago? What keeps any of us from doing what we want to do? For me, it was: … Continue reading Unboxing My Soul
I learned a long time ago that standing still, sitting still, it’s just another way of being dead. I have nothing against being dead. But, what is the point of it? We are here, and we should probably enjoy it. What is the best way to do that? What is the best way to experience all that our existence has to offer? Always be learning, … Continue reading Reaching
I’d like to remind you that you are remarkable. No one else has ever been you as magnificently as you are. Now, the tough part of that truth. You aren’t always right. Maybe you have even done something you are not proud of. We all learn and grow and change. But no one else has ever taken your journey. They cannot judge your soul. And … Continue reading Remarkable
Waking up with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a rare connective tissue disorder. In my case, it is considered an invisible illness. But it is not invisible. Sometimes it’s all the world sees. The primary symptom for me is daily dislocation of my joints. There are many other little symptoms, like too-soft skin, poor healing ability, brain fog, and an unpredictable reaction … Continue reading Invisible
There are so many things that we hide: Who we are, Who we want to be, Who we were. But what we have been through is the very definition of who we are. What we dream defines who we will become. If anyone is to ever know us- if anyone is to ever truly love us, We must be honest with ourselves, and then be … Continue reading Counting Scars
