It’s okay if one day you step out the door like a lioness and the next day you feel like you’re still just a cub. At times you’ll be all dreams and daring, magic, manifesting, and miracles; but there may also be others when you’re weary, wary, conflicted, constricted, or confused. And that’s okay. It’s […]
You are never alone. When you’re wandering out in the cold, I’ll be the blanket of snow that keeps you warm. And when you’re lost in the dark I’ll be the voice that reminds you to look to the stars. When the noise rises to an uncomfortable pitch, I’ll be the wind that shakes the […]
Oh how I yearn to meet you there one day, in that place beyond. Beyond the flesh and beyond time. Beyond our roles, our pasts, our fears and names; beyond the limits, and beyond the frame. We’re overdue for a rendezvous, in that place where no words need to be spoken yet nothing is left […]
Eventually I had to look up from my books to truly understand – but I’m grateful for every last line I read, because the drops of ink spilled by those who walked before me helped guide me towards my own first step. It wasn’t so much what those pages spoke, but the rising frustration I […]
It happened in an instant – too short to be measured, too profound to be imagined. In a single moment – too sudden, too prodigious, too spontaneous to be anything but fate – I saw it all. In the blink of an eye I replayed every bit of it. Every time that I’d betrayed myself. […]
I’ll pluck these scraps of light from between branches and leaves and slices of night. I’ll hold the honeyed glow from street lamps, catch every shooting star; and use them to stitch you a moon. I’ll collect each raindrop and remember each tear. I’ll ebb and flow, I’ll drift with the river, until you can […]
There are many things I’ve learned over the past couple of years, some big and some small – but one of the more precious little gems that I’ve picked up is that life moves on whether you’re ready to or not; and that you might as well just move on with it because, if you […]
Kindness, too, can be a kind of healing magic. Kindness too can break through barriers, dismantle weapons, tear down walls. Sometimes a sincere encouragement or altruistic favor can bring far deeper and wider spread awareness than even the most well-intentioned criticism or authentic observation. Sometimes a small act of kindness can transform the darkness that […]
I hope you live – in all the ways that only you can. I hope you brave climbing the greatest heights and that you have the courage to take the deep dives. I hope you build your dreams, break the limits, and I hope you make some good friends along the way. I hope when […]
Don’t you know by now that every love poem is about you? Do you not yet see that every song, every hastily scribbled line, every passionate rendition is for you as much as it’s for anyone? Love isn’t a one-on-one thing, something that can be kept between one giver and one receiver – because in […]
It isnt enough, they say. It isnt enough to live on love. It isn’t enough to feast on wonder and build with dreams. It isn’t enough to move with your soul and breathe with your heart – but we know it’s not merely enough. It’s the source of everything. It won’t work, they say. You […]
Some people will still try to play you every so often, knowing exactly which chord to strum to make you feel as if you owe them your time, your attention, your favor, your surrender, your pain. Some people see weakness in your compassion and care; and they’ll try to extort them in an attempt to […]
