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.

1/7/19: Being Naked

Her love shines through me. Upon all I do. All I experience. I love seeing the world through these new eyes. I love seeing her world and mine, combine. That which I think.

1/6/19: The Naked Night

Inhale, two three four five six... Exhale, two three four five six... ------ I feel her with me always. Shining in the morning jungle green. Strolling through the sunny surf and sand. Snuggling as we softly speak through distant pillows. In the naked night. ------ We share everything. Mutually inspired accomplishments. Healthy practice, creative growth, [...]

1/5/19: Perspective Portal

The first thing to do. Is pass through. Or not. ------ For this to even be considered, all internal machines, mechanisms, devices... etc. need to be in alignment, in sync. All moving parts MUST (at the very least) be functioning at nominal capacity. Including all adaptive and/or augmentative devices employed. Sensors must be at a [...]

1/2/19: Where We Are

Every waking moment Every dream A longing heart Bodies only Stand apart Love lives supreme Music walking with me With each step Into your arms Baring my soul Never harms Our future kept Living love inside us Eternal now All we feel Gives, returns Ever real Remembers only how

12/31/18: Naked Privilege

There is simply no sensible way of comparing the worth of human lives. ------ Kwame Anthony Appiah ----------------------------------------------------------- Conflicted My voice Falters Exposed To others I turn To listen To learn ------ Google brings me first to the voices of two students.

Always, no, sometimes think it's me But you know I know when it's a dream I think, er, no, I mean, er, yes But it's all wrong That is I think I disagree ------ Lennon/McCartney Of course we create our own reality but we don't actually create our own reality. ------ Ken Wilber (paraphrased) --------------------------------------------- [...]

12/26/18: Orange You Glad I Didn’t Say Banana?

Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps: for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are, and what they ought to be. ------ William Hazlin ANALYSTS have had their go at humor, and I have read some of their interpretive literature, but without being greatly instructed.

12/23/18: Mele Kalikimaka

It's that time again! Full-on since it's only a few days now. I can do nothing but embrace it of course. Why would I do anything else? If I didn't like having people approach me about it, I would change. I love who I am. I love the joy people show me. I love gifts [...]

12/20/18: From Here

It's not an easy path I would never insist you follow My walk there tonight was not without fear My legs trembling My heart pounding My brother below did not help But how could he know? We were happy We spoke of love, pain and indifference Numbness The water was not as cold as I [...]
