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”

Twice Gone
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”
Little Goddess
There is a watchful woman who lives inside my belly, coiled and taut as a snake. “Little goddess,” I say, “what do you see? Show me how to be free.”
Your Demons
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”
A Slow Reminder
There is something about an autumn blue sky. Something about its clouds, its sun, its thinning air. Something that begs a deeper thought from you. Something that both warns and soothes. A slow reminder. Take these days, it says. Hold them like jewels in your hand, Small and shining, Only as valuable as the attentionContinue reading “A Slow Reminder”

And I will not face the day until they’ve settled together once again and said, “We’re here now.Continue reading “Three in One”

I am The glowing goodness, The delirious joy, The secret smiles, The thrills of knowing and unknowing. Looking within while looking without. With telling heart and sureness of spirit I will bringContinue reading “A Gift From the Morning Light”
Failure’s Nourishment
I am done trying to avoid failure. I am done trying to outrun disappointment. Instead, it will be the foundation I build my successes on. 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”
Untitled
New shadows appear when bright light like this shines. Those jagged, obsidian edges dig in, obstinately. They appear in corners and crevices that we never noticed before. And so with new vision and new vigor comes new downfalls and new demons. Only more light from more places will soften the shadows. Only more sources ofContinue reading “Untitled”
You Are
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”
