Book Report

For God so loved the world...he gave us an extra hour to write this weekend. Creeping up on the 50,000 word mark with a goal of 120,000. I'm guessing this is true whether we're writing fiction or fact but I find it hard to linger in the details of certain stories because I'm excited to…Read more Book Report

Washing the Water

Before leaving us, Masaru Emoto was proving that compassion and happy thoughts could heal not only our bodies and minds but also the planet. The Ghostbusters also proved this theory with scientific tests on ectoplasm, so it's gotta be true. Our bodies are made of 70% water. Drinking nontoxic water really is like changing the…Read more Washing the Water

Hopefully Devoting

This morning's devotion: Healing; My body responds to the flow of divine energy within me. For just as the Father has life in him, so he has granted the Son also to have life.-John 5:26  The best part was it spoke to last nights prayers, almost verbatim. I prayed to live safely, normally, peacefully in a…Read more Hopefully Devoting

Pry

Homesick for unopened boxes packed in a rush before the next storm would surely come Covering roads leading out, preferably, permanently south It's been cold here too long Like their hair in old pictures  I didn't mind the recurring memory of him  pushing her head through the wall until hearing confirmation  that it hadn't been…Read more Pry

Joy De’spite

Jaune ballon In spite of me Crooked crook Being Disjointed joined the day Seized in confining  Paralysis A permanently paused life We wanted to count two Beyond limitations To taste life, like you To touch life, like you Walking, talking, living  Free The unintended rebellion  Jaune ballon Perched on the warm breeze towards a heaven…Read more Joy De’spite

Cardboard Box

The mint mouthwash and vitamin C On Sunday mornings signified Return to cinder On the burning street They'd take her food, sleep, peace Possibilities She'd come to collect in the  blaring porch light  gathering plastic baggage Under the stares And familiar scent of a cold cheek Everything we store away must be addressed Return to…Read more Cardboard Box

Whittle

Chip, chop, chisel  Strip away  Uncover Are we there yet? What do you make of me? What am I allowed to control? Barking splinters with a thunking axe  Strike, hammer, divide Block, pound and sever  Years of growth reduced to kindling Unkind scraps  Hold a smoldering spark  clinging to dryer lint I'm freezing to death! …Read more Whittle

God said, what you're doing wrong is simple. You think you're all alone. You think you're separate from everyone else... I'll give you a solution in three sentences that'll change your life. I said great, what is it? He said, you're one with everyone. There's no one who is separate from you. What you do…Read more Amas Veritas

Writing on a Wall

Walk the burning street and live there. Unlikely alternatives forcing you to peel off sticky labels conveniently slapped where understanding wants to be. You don't know me. You don't know mine. No need for explanations. Chin up buttercup. You got this. * Resilience counts as a blessing for sure. For more poetic blessings head over…Read more Writing on a Wall
