No Small Love…

I have been thinking about writing this post for about two months now and had almost decided not to…a conversation today, with a dear friend, changed that.  We were discussing not hiding things from those we are involved with; more specifically about also seeing others. I encouraged my friend to take  more reflection on [...]

Dear Dad…

Hi dad…as you know, today is Father’s Day…just wanted to finally put all I hold in my heart for you down in black and white.  I know it’s been over 24 years since I last saw you and not a day goes by that I don’t think on that.  Not a day goes by that [...]

The Journey of tears…river of thought

Noise…a barrier for listening
talk…intangible to action
thought …an elusive stream…ever present…ever flowing
Alone I mute external noise
Alone I silence speech
Alone I let the river flow on…
listening to my soul
asking questions of my life
thinking
flowing
the river rises from deep within and floods my senses
tears
coursing rivulets of thought over the planes of my cheeks
soaking my skin
I hold my breath [...]

We have this customer at our store…she’s a right pain-in-the-ass! She’s likely in her sixties and I guess can’t get around much on her own legs…so she uses one of our [...]

An invitation to joy…

I have been most fortunate over the years to have met some truly wonderful souls…many of them children. If you pay attention children will teach you more about yourself, and this world, than you could possibly dream of teaching them.
Each of us is born a clean slate…over the years… it is what and who [...]

Evening

This evening
of solitude
sand softly relents
to my thought filled tread
recalling
one soul yielding to another

High moon cradled
in the trailing vapor
of a warm summer day
soft mist
caressing my skin
memories of fingertips
tracing lazy love patterns

distant sound of ships
calling to one another
voices in the dark
leaning in
whispering
catching the breath

the calm
surface
of the vast expanse
inviting
reflection
one gaze mirroring the other

air laden with
the brine of
life
evocative
of
the salt
of [...]

I hold pain

This is certainly not what I had thought I’d post for my first real blog entry here, but it is what it is.
I’ve been walking around for a few days now feeling out-of-sorts…in general…just down. I fight being in this place because I know historically what that means for me…and it’s not good…so here [...]
