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. My very being struggling for breath, while the horrible pinch off my nose, and lie on me to die. Such is our world where those … Continue reading TRAPPED
DEAR GOD
Why did you put me here? With all my weakness, all my sins? Why must I suffer so much, so many failures, so many horrible endings? So many others have so much and I have so little! What should I do? I cannot change the hatred and jealousesness of mankind. Why am I here? … Continue reading DEAR GOD
A LIFETIME OF MEASUREMENTS
When you come from a world of promises and lies, you want solid ground at some point, you want something, someone, you can trust. You want to believe that you will get something to eat in the next few days, whilst the others dance around you with smiles and full bellies. But, that is not … Continue reading A LIFETIME OF MEASUREMENTS
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
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
HARMONIOUS APATHY
I had this dream. A dream of soft and warm ocean breezes. The surf and waves making the most delightful lapping sound, the breezes rustling my hair. I dreamed everyone loved everyone, embraced their brownness, blondeness, their differences. We had the same religion surrounding Lotus Flowers. We all had the same music and language. … Continue reading HARMONIOUS APATHY
MY INTERVIEW WITH AN ANGEL
"Honestly, why do you think you belong here?" His shaky response, "Well, I never tortured small animals, I tried so hard to help elders, and I paid my bills on time. I did drink a little beer, sometimes too much. But, I turned my life around and did the right thing by everyone I met for … Continue reading MY INTERVIEW WITH AN ANGEL
Note to Self
What would you say, to that little prior version of you? That much younger one? The one wearing the Roy Rodgers cowboy boots? You remember, the boots with the heel nail sticking through his skin that he would not tell mama about, knowing she would take them away because she had found the blood in … Continue reading Note to Self
The End with a Whimper
How do you think the world will end? (Slow jazz tune, one, two, three) "It's quarter to three, There's no-one in the place, 'Cept Joe and me." (One, two, three) "So set 'em up, Joe, I've got a little story I think you should know" The end of the world did not come from Russia … Continue reading The End with a Whimper
