Rigid line of cloudy sky Layer the blues, the grays, and pale whites Then fly through, the way you do Cut through the sky With jagged knife Your edge pierces the fabric of my vision And the boundaries of the heavens unfold Revealing a whole new world Of darkness, no, of empty consuming nothingness Stars…

Light and Clouds
~ A morning reflection following a conversation with my son Jude ~ “STORMS” Jude exclaimed “no they aren’t storms bud, those are just clouds, see all the light around them? They aren’t very dark or heavy like storm clouds are they?” “oooo pretty daddy,” he replied with wonder it was a beautiful sunrise this morning…
wayside
I’m out of my element on the wayside I left home with nothing. I went out my door without anticipating the unfathomable wildness of life. I was anxious to become someone else, to finally take hold of identity. To walk out into an open clearing. But never did I contemplate the ruin of haste. When…
Victor Hugo (Les Misérables)
Welcome to my post about beloved literature. A friend of mine asked me the other day, what my favorite book is. I asked what genre, time period, etc. But despite my efforts to narrow down that insanely broad question they continued to firmly insist that I have to have a favorite book. And I don’t…
Short on Humanity
Remember the faces of your greatest friends, and look into the eyes of your enemy. See God in each person, whether they are full of love and true humanity, or they are a monster and a villain. I am hoping I come to a place where I only focus on my own sin, and soley…
The Stars on 3/4/21
Beware the ides of March approach! Anyways, I’ll get to that bit later. Point is, I was outside watching the stars. And the thing is, the sky is quite clear tonight and the stars are of course, as dazzling as ever. I was mesmerized, having not star gazed in quite some time. And I thought…
Music, Memories, and Melancholy
We’re gonna interrupt the boring topic of politics with something we are all excited about and connected to. Music! And if you’re not connected to that…I’m not sure you’re human. But seriously we all have memories associated with music, and we actually share that connection with so many people. I think there are a lot…
Lord have mercy, I’m writing about what I said I’d never write about (politics, but also not)…?[Part I]
Here we are, my first political post. I hate it a little. But, some people have urged me to share my thoughts on the current state of our country. Possible solutions, where I stand, and where our country might be going. Fun things of that nature. My thoughts are not fine tuned, nor do I…
Twists and Turns
Ralph Waldo Emerson famously quotes, “Do not follow where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” Being an adventurous person, I find this quote somewhat inspiring as it pertains to discovering the unknown. But I think there is a larger, more expanded point in this quote. Well,…
Don’t Be a Coward
Saint John the Ladder is an amazing Church Father who writes about many worthy topics. And in His book the Church titled “The Ladder of Divine Ascent,” he writes about one topic which I think is very relevant to this time. It helps me to think about how to respond to the unexpected event that…
