To The Girl Behind The Counter At The Drug Store , I never understood why I couldn’t just go to sleep at a normal time, so I went to the drug store to help overcome this issue. When I walked in I heard a sharp and high pitched “Hi!”, then we both looked up at the same time. Once our eyes finally met we twisted our heads the way dogs do when they’re confused because we both didn’t expect to see a f...

If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start. If you’re going to try, go all the way. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs and maybe your mind. Go all the way. It could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail, it could mean derision, mockery, isolation. Isolation is the gift, all the others are a test...

Mindfully thinking about the world I'll leave behind.   It was the house that my father built filled with, Spiritual energy to ward off all or any enemies. But the disease infected and reflected a Waning light not b...

Liberation   Liberation, in the truest sense of the word. A freeing fluttering feeling like the first flight of a bird.   It's absurd that for a time I've been living so constrained, Confined to the confines of my very own brain.   I was blind to see the tethers chaining me to a singular fixed point in time. Spinning and spinning and spinning my gears, living my life in a circle instead...

30 Minutes 30 minutes has passed and a multitude of waves at my feet crash Fearlessly. It’s my hope to be one day like it. A powerful force to behold.  Not needing to be told where to go and how to act. 30 minutes has passed.  The black holes in the sky are not seen But my joy and happiness always are. The lights of the city and the distance in between keep them hidden.  And maybe the lights keep...
