When Comes the Color
You have a choice to be happy or sad or indifferent or anything you please. It is not the world that adjusts and directs your emotions – it is you. You are in full control of how you see the world’s chaos. Continue reading When Comes the Color
I Am Ready
Here I am. Head held high, Ready to catch the rail, Leaping on as it rolls by. I’m off to adventure. I’m cleared for flight. Ready to wake the sleepers, Ready to start a fight. The light has found me, Has filtered through. So follow me from darkness, Into the wild blue. Continue reading I Am Ready
Leave the Burning to the Fire.
If you could burn anything – any idea, object, word, insect – Anything – what would you burn? I think I would burn procrastination. It is the bane of my existence. Mosquitos could go, but they do feed the spiders that feed the birds, etc. Maybe global warming, but that is a result, not a thing…World hunger is kind of a given but it’s so … Continue reading Leave the Burning to the Fire.
Invisible
Society has labeled some illnesses as “invisible”, but there are always signs. Little things. You don’t know anyone until you walk a mile in their shoes. If you see someone who looks lazy or slow, don’t make assumptions. If someone looks fine but has a handicap tag, don’t make assumptions. If someone is short with you and seems impatient, don’t make assumptions. Everyone has a story. No matter what traits or symptoms are showing, somewhere inside each of us is an invisible warrior.

Elegy of the Coffee Mug
Weird to have a warning for a 4-line poem about a coffee mug, but… if you are triggered by suicide, best to avoid this poem. Empty vessel, once full of life,Waiting, ready to be cleansed.Solid but useless without the drug,Nothing but darkness, time to end. Just a little something I wrote because of a visual prompt. A visual prompt is when you close your eyes, … Continue reading Elegy of the Coffee Mug
Time, Animate
Time presses me forward and calls me back. I remember, regret, remain, react. Daily life skitters, plain and dull. I waste it pursuing an unworthy goal. Too tired to rise, too busy to sin. Uncomfortable in aging skin. Things I wanted have faded away. Now I dream of some future day. But when I can sit calmly in the sun, I’ll be dreaming of adventures … Continue reading Time, Animate
Breathe Deep, A One-Breath Meditation
Breathe. Deeper. Fill your lungs, then use your stomach, your diaphragm to purposefully continue filling your body with as much air as it can hold. Take a moment to realize how much extra air you can inhale beyond your usual, weaker breaths. As you slowly exhale, allow your body to relax. Once you feel you have exhaled enough, keep going. Use your diaphragm once more … Continue reading Breathe Deep, A One-Breath Meditation
Remarkable
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
What have you done for yourself today?
Take a few minutes today to make the world a better place for yourself. Change your sheets, finish a task, finally get your clothes put away. Just think how great it will be to wake up tomorrow not think, “I wish I did that yesterday.” Continue reading What have you done for yourself today?
