Stories whispered from the lives of others, my own life, or animate objects full of their own truths.

To the Spiders, who hold the world together

Posted on July 11, 2014 by Paige Stewart • Leave a comment

There are spider webs that hold the world together. In the corners of every home, in every city, you’ll find them weaving on winter days as stories spill from ruby lips,  each word strung together into a tall tale but one so true you must go now and look. At mid day beneath the avocado … Continue reading →

It is at the in between stages that we are most vulnerable. Unable to distinguish if we are ripe to bloom or fading with each day. Continue reading →

Bound up

Posted on March 20, 2013 by Paige Stewart • Leave a comment

I know the pain of separation. Dissension. I feel it everyday, the quaking ache of my throat. My voice and my feelings stuck inside for so long. The ache to not look to please others, the ache to say exactly what I am thinking, to sing out, to shout, to cry, to explore the possibilities … Continue reading →

Through these differences, we finally see each other. I have a unique disposition, in that, I give back what others give me. May it be conversationally, energetically, emotionally, or whole-heartedly. I rarely do it consciously but am aware it creates rapport, comfort,and ease. I am aware of my body language, vocabulary, spiritual references, context, place, … Continue reading →

Stuck between a rock and a hard place

Posted on August 23, 2012 by Paige Stewart • Leave a comment

Stuck between a rock and a hard place, is my mentality. I can’t even count how many times I say oh that’s hard. Life is hard. It’s sooo hard. Where and when did I pick this thought up. Is it an accurate thought? Does it reflect my life to date, all my endeavors that have … Continue reading →

Whispers and Words

I’m floating out here in the great expanse of America, out to sea in the land of plenty.

What remains at the end of our lives, what have we built, contributed, done that fights against the veil of this world.  Sometimes I think we are shoring up our time for the days of our lives where there is no life left to live. And yet we remain.  I do not claim to understand … Continue reading →
