Announcements, rants, affirmations and all else that doesn’t quite fit into the other categories are posted here. From poetry that probably won’t be made into a song, to in-the-moment expressions of thoughts and feelings that probably won’t make it into a story. I will share here, whatever comes to mind and heart. Occasionally, I also may take creative writing pieces from my past, revise and revive them to post here.

3/1/19: Ronald & Me

We aren't exactly chummy, Ronald and me. Oh I don’t hate him or anything like that, it’s just that we have almost nothing in common. Well, we are nearly the same age, but that's about it. Our relationship is very simple. Ronald leaves his place open for me to use as often as I like [...]

2/21/19: Inspiration Interlude

A moment of silence. Changes a trajectory. That momentum had promised to bring. Forever. I look for reasons to stay. To linger in this place. Between movement and responsibility. Above all hope. No faith. No tether. No certainty. No expectations. The food is good here, but the music kinda sucks. ------- Blessed... m(___)m

2/18/19: The Morning Practice (Baby Steppin’ Out/In)

"Sometimes people ask me, well, what is the best form of practice that I should do? And I’ll often say, the very best form of practice that you can do is that form of practice that you do, whatever that is. But practice is really important. The regularity of practice is something that really can’t [...]

"So... what do you think?" "I don't." "You don't think?" "Oh I think alright, I just don't want to right now." "Oh...
