Guides, universe, God, I’m afraid of this loneliness.
But I’m looking around & nothing is happening. The walls aren’t pressing in. I’m here, and it’s okay. God, I’m scared of this drought. I’m scared I won’t ever move out of my own way. God, I’m scared I’m not good enough. God, I’m scared I’m not enough. I’m scared I’ll keep watching life pass…

I danced in my room to music today and felt ALIVE ALIVE ALIVE
I get it now. There’s nothing else to wait for. The cycle of suffering is ending, now, with my attention & intention. I am stepping into the light. I am joy, pleasure & pain. I am the rolling crash of the waves. I am lightning, sure & quick – I am the crackle of the…

Maybe someday I won’t want
Maybe someday I won’t want for anything And I can lay at the hearth and rest my head Maybe someday I won’t want at all -I think by then I’ll already be dead. sjs

Life is not everything
Life is not everything Life is not everything Life is your experience Take it or go Life is your rhythm Your feelings Your flow Life is the song that sings in your soul Life is your memories When the living is slow Life is your regrets Your joys and fears too Life is the struggle…

A day in the life
A day in the life is a day in the dirt A life unlived, empty and hurt A life in the shivers on a cold cold day A life of dehydration as your throat aches A life of modern luxuries Of egos Of stress A life of inner conflict Of guilt Of being blessed Half…
