Today is a struggle to write. Normally it just flows out but I feel everything clashing around inside like a broken piano notes plunking off in a sad beat lacking the coordinated effort that is music this piano is out of tune and jostling so many notes at once in time maybe it would sound … Continue reading

Stories whispered from the lives of others, my own life, or animate objects full of their own truths.
An opening
In a house in the desert, there is a window out to the world. Everyday we press ourselves against it. Drunkenly smelling the scents carried by the arid air. Exalting in the sights this small vantage gives us. Shedding our skin on the wall, in a ritual exfoliation that may jettison us to transcendence. The physical pressing, … Continue reading
Transparency
Our ability to be seen through is, perhaps, our greatest goal. That we have nothing to hide, nor anything to hide behind. All the grand illusions will have faded away… Shadowless, the light that pours in, pours through us to illuminate everything. Nothing is left in the dark and yet there is no shame, no … Continue reading
Because I told you…
Every post, every word set down is a spell I am casting to root out my fears, the demons that have held me. The demon within. The stones that sunk me into a suicidal depression. That everyday and every word is a gift and a choice to remain.. to never let go. To stay. … Continue reading
Stars
If you captured all the light in a day, it would not be there. If your hearing was lost, it would matter very little because you will never hear it. If you burned all the trees trying to root it out, it would not be found. The memories of stars, Long darkness bursts of new … Continue reading

Hidden in the earths blind spot, I forget that I shine. … Continue reading
Outer Traffic directs us to Inner Road Blocks
In LA people’s favorite hate fest is traffic, as if traffic where in fact the very thing that was limiting them from ever accomplishing anything. “I’m not on time!” “People are terrible drives!” “Why is everyone driving like such assholes today?!” It’s totally bad… Except traffic is always like this… How you are is different. … Continue reading
Because I never told you…
Because I never told you Because I never told anyone. Because in between that space lies the sorrow of my silence. A thing heavy and sodden with age, grown denser over time weighted by darkness alone as if dark matter where really the weight of silence itself… which is heavy and burdensome and amplified by … Continue reading
It is just a place I laid my soul
Can’t you see the beauty in everyone? The beauty in the way people wear their skins, some skins are worn loose and fluid like a summer shift, the soul is alight within and the skin barely a vessel and more a sail by which the sun and wind blow it across the sea. Some people wear their … Continue reading
