i’ve had the interest in doing this for quite some time, a couple years actually, but things just didn’t fall into place. well, i think if i can get the money together and a team to do it with me possibly, i might be doing the Seattle 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk. i personally haven’t had [...]

beautiful disaster
a life’s importance and worth is measured by standards beyond our control. calendars, pre-supposed expectations and the ticking of the clock serve as constant reminders that life moves, seconds go by, and eventually we disappear into physical oblivion. before that time comes we must do, we must achieve, we must create, we must earn. but what?

dealings with spiders
i am not a fan of spiders. in my opinion they are evil incarnate and i find no redeeming qualities in them other than lending to amusing blog posts, which is why i’m writing now! i was reading my friend Carmel’s blog about her adventures in Rwanda (which you should all read!! the link is [...]

the fog
it was a foggy morning but when i drove down the little side street, the fog had lifted to about the tree top level. there were remnants of fog lingering on the road still and as cars drove down i could see the mist and fog move around the tires and swirl around as the [...]

it was a day
yesterday i was surrounded by people pretty much all day long. and yet, for some reason, i felt lonely. it’s interesting that even when with people, you can feel alone. i think part of it is when you’re not connecting with those around you, or you wish you were connecting in a different way, that that’s [...]

She’s Beautiful.
Smokes a pack a day, but wait,
That’s me, but anyway
She doesn’t care a thing
About that hair,
She thinks I’m beautiful
Meet Virginia
She never comprimises,
Loves babies and surprises,
wears high [...]

timely reactions
we can’t really do anything about how we feel about certain things or people but we do have ultimate control over how we react to them. yesterday at work i got a little jumpy because my co-worker got upset. when he gets upset, sometimes he gets loud and yells. it wasn’t the printer he was [...]

shards
i wrote this a while ago when i was in pain, searching for understanding in confusion. it seems that all throughout life these moments ebb and flow out of our reality. moments where we must turn pain into strength.
they are scattered on the ground, fragmented, pieces of a mirror once whole. as i look [...]

the cycle
It’s not their fault they look like that, I used to say.
One boy in particular in elementary school comes to mind.
Curly hair, soft spoken, a little odd.
I found a fondness for him, a kindred spirit if you will.
Mocked, for reasons unknown to me, we both endured.
I never got it.
Why would you do that?
Physical [...]
