New Perspective on Life
I woke this morning, as I do every morning, filled with the pleasant feeling of wholeness. My mind full of intention and purpose. My body at ease, reveling in the peace of a good night’s sleep. I wake every day with the sense that I could conquer the world. There is a moment, a second … Read moreMix-ups, Malfunctions, and Misunderstandings
Paradise is found on the others side of this feeling. Swimming in the tears. Hidden behind a veil of chaos and confusion. Paradise lost. Paradise found. Whispering caresses of promise and peace. Paradise stolen. Or was it given away? Perception or deception? Intermingling manipulation – vining and intertwining – digging in and rooting deep. The … Read moreParadise in my Mother’s Eyes
I often sit and contemplate how different my life looks from moment to moment – season to season. In my youth I never thought about the seasons of life; beyond Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall, I was unaware that life was ever-evolving. A child completely oblivious to forces of nature, directing one’s thoughts, will, and … Read moreCastle in the Sky
It’s hard to believe six months has passed since my full two-week return to work. My crash and burn moment. The all-knowing response of my mind and body telling me “accept that your life will never look anything like it once did. Twist, toil, and hope all you want; life evolves, whether you like it … Read moreCrash and Burn
I found a way to let go… Been wondering if I should make this post spiritual or plain hardcore. The thoughts are like a war; into your head then out, getting stuck in the bed with a frown.

In all honesty, how many times do many of us run instinctively towards what is different from us? How many are more interested in staying with … Read moreExpectations and then some…
This is my song to the Neverland. A place were dreams and nightmares share the same diet plan. A little goes to black people, I guess we all just dumb fans. It’s easy to judge from a place of love but, man that’s kinda rough. Love is a luxury when you part of the minority, … Read moreN E V E R L A N D
All pain serves as a catalyst. Pain is either a catalyst for depression or a catalyst for action. Sorting through my mental file cabinet lead me to this discovery. I noticed a pattern behind many of my past challenges. Climbing out of adversity required a decision. The decision to leave toxic relationships. The decision to … Read moreCatalyst
Here’s to the things I never did. To things I never was; I did you and I did us. A little bit of both and they called us fake love. Trauma was our friend cause we laid addicted to life’s fake stuff. But truth be told, this life was getting frail and old. How we … Read moreGOLD
I’ve been looking for you ever since my big head has made its way into this world – Big brains come with big dreams. You were always out of my reach, A big wild threat above my head Teasing me mercilessly Leading me in circles. Isolated among gray crowds I’ve wandered, Looking for comfort in … Read moreHappiness Comes From Within
