Life can be confusing, all these twists and turns; glimmers of gems, shining through the sand. Be wary of their attractive pull, be mindful of their allure. For not all that glitters is gold, and it seems that I never listen when I'm told. Remain grounded in the present, ignore any futuristic projections, for these … Continue reading the siren call.

groundhog day.
I find respite in substance, well, some of the time. In the past, I've struggled with substance abuse. In times past, I could not sit with my feelings; in times past, I would reach for a crutch.

Force like nature, pain like razor - a love just an inch away. Always. Cut the same way, a pool of reflection; hope … Continue reading again? this time proper. fuck…
The laying of root.

I give thee permission to stand strong and tall, grasping at the sun. Water and rays are all you need most days, but often a … Continue reading The laying of root.
