There is such incredible power in knowing what you want. But it can take a lot of time and energy to sort out what that is, exactly. This is practical, of course. Having a specific goal is much easier to achieve than aiming for a target that keeps changing. But I mean this in aContinue reading “That Magnetic Magic”

I’ve been thinking a lot about where I was two years ago at this time. I was living this dreamy little life. Except. Except I couldn’t shake this feeling of wilting, withering, shrinking away inside. Back then, when I looked into my future, I could only picture a shell of myself moving through the world.Continue reading “Twice Gone”

Your demons are not devils, They are merely wounded animals. And they only come to stalk you When you leave them cold and starving. They are lost without affection, No tender words to soothe them. And they cry out in the dark of your night, Howling pain and sore affliction. But all you see isContinue reading “Your Demons”

With telling heart and sureness of spirit I will bringContinue reading “A Gift From the Morning Light”

It will be the slow decomposition that richens my soil for growth. And when my dreams begin to rise and materialize, they will be all the stronger for it. SoContinue reading “Failure’s Nourishment”

Human, do not sever your soul from truth’s complexity. Do not turn away from the murky work of balance and understanding. Do not hide away from the pain in the world because without it beauty is only half-felt, half-real. Do not resist your grieving, do not fight your discontent or confusion, do not silence yourContinue reading “You Are”
