Audience of One
The shadows of day dimthe light, causing the attentionto be taken elsewhere, tired ofwaiting for the promised showto go on, then failing tosee the final surprise.Too busy talking and runningto pay attention to detail.Audience of one,the statues were brokenbefore the head appearedtaking away the funwhile no one else cared.
Ode To My Twenties
A wise woman once told me It doesn’t matter how old you are All that matters is how you feel. I have been reading my old journals lately. I am not who I used to be But the memories remain on The surface of my being. I had a lot of strong feelings. I loveContinue reading “Ode To My Twenties”
Tired
How many kids have to die in school in order for change to happen? I am tired of seeing the same news cycle trying to in-act some type of change but nothing works. Nothing works. Why? Why do these events keep occurring and we’re left hopeless? Why do parents keep on losing their kids thisContinue reading “Tired”
hope
Last year at this time, uncertainty lingered heavy. There were too many unknowns, with people getting sick and many dying, no one knew what was going on. Wearing masks was a figment of an idea, nowhere near mandatory, people were stuck in their homes, too stressed to pick up their dog’s poop on their walks,Continue reading “hope”

But, I want to share information and stories with you I think are important, along with some positivity. The blog postContinue reading “Part Two”
Mantra for the Madness
The sounds of a cold echo between buildings. He ignores the coughing and sneezing, Turning up the volume on his headphones, Blasting a rock song into his brain. Everyone’s worried for no reason. That’s his mantra for the madness. He walks into a bar as rain begins to fall. There are people gathered together inContinue reading “Mantra for the Madness”
Settle into the Moment
I’m surrounded by people. I do not speak. I half-listen as my mind bounces around from one thought to another. I catch words here and there. I clap and don’t realize I’m clapping. Awareness allows me to settle into the moment. It takes several tries and I’m still not sure I got it. I checkContinue reading “Settle into the Moment”
