Isolated Reflections

It’s been relatively quiet on my blog as of late, and the major reason is due to my intentional filtering of time and effort into a different project. I’m writing a novel, one that I hope will someday grace the bookshelves of stores and countless homes. But most of all, a novel that I can…

Fluttering of Feathers

There are moments where being In love feels like flying, Soaring high above tree tops And chasing the sun – Other times it’s found in the Mundane, the routines, The ebbs and the flows of All that it means to be human, More of an existence Rather than a fluttering of feathers. But most often,…

Short, Fragile & Unexpected

Life is short. Life is fragile. Life is unexpected. And we waste much of it on worrying and complaining. In the end, we mourn lost opportunities, lost time, lost joy. I don’t know when our final days on this earth will coalesce, but I do know that I want to cherish every moment. Life is…

No Expectations for 2019

For reasons that seem hard to put into words, the Holidays have always been a challenging time for me. I find that each day Christmas gets a little closer, the greater my anxiety increases. In the end, it’s like I’m in survival mode – just trying to remain sane and “with it” until it passes….

Mystery Man

“But how do I know that this person is the one for me?” “Is there like a light that goes off or something?” “How can I be sure?” I feel like these questions sit in the recesses of our minds when we are plagued with fear of the unknown. When it comes to relationships, we…

“I am beautiful”

Have you ever uttered those words to yourself? And if so, did you mean them? Beauty can mean a few things. Yes, when we hear the word, we often think about someone’s or something’s outward appearance. For example, “Your hair is beautiful” or “Look at those leaves, aren’t they beautiful when they change colors?” But…

Oh Deer

Death, it’s a curious thing. This morning I was driving to work, and about 2/3rds of the way in, I hit some traffic. At first I got annoyed because one, I didn’t want to be late, and two, it was probably some sort of construction project that should have been completed months ago. It wasn’t…

Out of the Dust

We were made to move and not remain idle like statues. Rest is important, but here’s the thing, you’re still moving, breathing, living. In the Old Testament, there were many nations who revered and worshiped idols, manmade objects or statues. Dead, unreal, unmoving. There were many who placed their lives and their very being into…

Poetry Posts: Week 1

Welcome to the first installment of weekly poetry posts – I’ll be posting poems every Saturday (as best I can). Here are a few little guys I wrote last night. Enjoy 🙂 …………… Flight Patterns What does is look like to Be as confident as A Sparrow, To never question the Identity it’s Been given?…

Mini Dinosaurs

Chickens. Have you ever taken the time to stop and think about these feathery creatures? I read somewhere recently that chickens are the closest living species related to dinosaurs, and I thought, “huh, how can something so small be related to a mammoth T-Rex?” When I did further research, I found that chickens apparently have…
