Reroute

When is it okay to reroute? Are these dead ends or only roads not yet paved? When do we depart from our original destination and commitments? Afraid of the future-You hurdle towards the seas and cliffs. Bounding, leaping, crying weeping. Too prove you are awake. To prove you lived through another day. Scribbling frantic melodiesContinue reading “Reroute”

Store my Sorrows in Sonorites

The guitar is my journal. Her strings ring to the drumming of this breaking heart. She stores my sorrows in sonorites. I know you must let go of the glitter in your hands. Leave it behind. Litter on the road. But for now- keep it in your hands to hold.

The Silence is Too Loud

The silence is too loud! My head is filled with music and with noise. How do I find notes in fields of litter? How do I find meaning in layers of glitter? The silence is so loud!

To give in such a way that has no end

“We are how we treat each other when the day is done. We are how we treat each other and nothing more.” These lyrics resonate with me today. Why do we always say you are worthy of love? Love is freely given independent of the merits of its receiver. It’s reception and it’s giving areContinue reading “To give in such a way that has no end”

Deception

Open Individualism?

What if we are all collectively one? All sharing the same existences. Loving, lying, cheating, learning? What if I am you and you are me? In different incarnations of reality. My light is your own.
