THE SMALL MAN

I met a little man on the subway today. 42nd and Flushing, he loaded, subway heading deeper into Queens. In the very crowded car, he pushed others to one side, a small lady there, and older man to his shoulder. Can't quite describe the feeling, he was facing away from me. But, I felt his vileness, … Continue reading THE SMALL MAN →

GOD FILLS OUR SPACES

They say God fills the spaces in our souls when we are quiet and at rest. The reason so many in the world meditate, chant, or pray is to give God a chance to talk with you, fill your soul, and let you rest. Yet, today, we are never at rest. We are constantly bombarded … Continue reading GOD FILLS OUR SPACES →

TRAPPED

I found my being trapped between the light and the dark. A soul meant for the right but drowning in the wrong. A beauty of children squeezed by the evil.

Knowing it will be warmer, while I am still wanting. The sun, too, is alone but is the source of all that is living, while I am still wanting, … Continue reading SOL AND ISOLATION →

A SOLIQUOY ON STUBBORNESS

This is not a Diatribe as in a forceful or bitter attack on any Stubborn people out there. You do exist, though. Instead, this is a Soliloquoy. A one-sided discussion or opinion. (I don't think I ever understood either a Mule or Donkey as the animal embodiment of Stubbornness. Any horse person will tell you … Continue reading A SOLIQUOY ON STUBBORNESS →

ALONE WITH THE NIGHT

The Night, Once my friend, Turned away from me, leaving me alone and naked waiting only for the light of day. Was all truly lost, to me? All hope gone as snow in the rape of the Sun?

AN OPINION ON PASSIONS

I learned something that might help a few of you out there. A very intelligent friend educated me.... I was actually depressed about the emotional charge and deep division in this country. What had caused it? Changing topics, just for a couple of analogies. I love Stevie Ray Vaughn. Others of you may love Eric … Continue reading AN OPINION ON PASSIONS →
