I embrace an eclectic life, tastes, and friends. I love to listen to people - to induce speaking of their past. Sometimes, their voices end in my writing. For grammar perfectionists, allow me to apologize in advance, as I write for the casual reader, not the professional. My passions include my family, music, working in electronics, mechanics, stone, and concrete. Better to know a little bit about everything than everything about one thing. Quote from Pascal.

Self

Arrogance has its own selfish reward. One of self. Ignoring all other truths. When you know you are the only right one, pause, look in the mirror for the childish one reflected there. Please know all the historical bullies did the same but escaped the reflection shown. Proud you are. Bully, you are.

Still, I breathe and hope for love, understanding, and clarity. As a human, I reserve the right to be wrong from time to time. Yet, still, I hope … Continue reading Accepting →

Left of Venus

Just a touch left of Venus, whilst my fingers trace the moon, and my breath shows as vapor, while I sits all alone, I remember your smile that wrapped me, in a warmth all its own, but now I look left of Venus, while I sits all alone.

Just 30 seconds God

I hope God gives me 30 seconds before my last breath to remember.I want to taste again that first chocolate Sunday with dribbles on my chin, my taste buds blowing bubbles at me.I want to hear anew that first AM radio blues tune with Ray Charles dragging on one note, forever, "I want to know".I … Continue reading Just 30 seconds God →

Musings of a lonely Heart

I saw your eyes from your face across the room as they rested on mine. Yours, so brown and bold and cold, mine not used to being seen. I drop my stare to my mostly empty glass, while we both heard the dying strains of the soft duo strumming. Do others know of my blood … Continue reading Musings of a lonely Heart →

Forward

I saw myself, I heard my voice, but then I listened to you. Do you know the way? Right now?'Cause, I can sit right here, in the sun, and love and hear. Give me your silence, and I will fill the vacuum with me. I will lead me forwards because your fear is like constipation.I … Continue reading Forward →
