Just when I think I’ll be fine… Things are going to be okay, Life is going to settle down… Something happens. In my life “somethingâ€? is usually not small; It’s a right-down-to-the-wire MAJOR issue. According to Erma Bombeck, “Normal is a setting on the washing machine.â€? So, really, normal is a relative term. “Normalâ€? for […]
Morning Meditations (12/6/10)
Bright sunrise Peeping round the gray clouds, Then bursting forth Against the distantly fading storm, Erasing all the darkness With neon red-orange light, Brightening the winter landscape. Coming day— Fresh promise of hope spilling Over my soul again, Dissolving the crowded angry thoughts Till once more, I find mercy Renewed, gotten, given, Expansive as the […]
To Reach You (12/14/10)
… I feel as if I have been to court and You are the witness, judge, and jury Determining my guilt without any chance at all For me to defend myself. And why should I have to defend myself anyway? Humanity is as humanity does. I strive to reach a goal like everyone else. I […]

I only […]

Shadows On The Water
I stand, anger in hand, covered in The tattered remains of my self-worth. The futility of banging my fist against The stone wall of another’s hostility and unforgiveness Leaves me breathless and beaten and worn, Wondering when, or if, things will change. No matter how big the anger or How hard the beating, Things remain […]
