Evolution

I am grateful for evolution; the natural process of nature continually moving toward perfection. I have faith the process is completed, in the place beyond time and space… It seems a difficult journey. Yet its natural process, because it is natural, can only arrive at a single destination: eternity. It is our lack of knowing…

I gave it my all…

Even when I was at my lowestWith nothing left to giveI gave to you my allSo that you may, still live And even when you plunderedI would feel the rainAnd underneath your dying breathI breathed in your pain You squander looks and attitudeA quibble on the floorRolling blankly ‘cross the kitchenBlithely out the door Even…

not much

Gratitude isn’t a stretch… it’s simple. Sometimes just breathing… a sunny day… Getting one’s blog post in early. The little things.

Another Day

Today I spent a solid two hours at least, broken up through the day, attempting to give myself prescribed medication with a syringe. I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Two friggin’ hours… there’s a solid chance that it isn’t something for me to be doing. We’ll see what tomorrow brings… I’m grateful for the…

Habibi; I love you

It’s July 1st. This one is easy… it’s easy four times a year… so easy, that every day is truly easy. There’s a birthday every day; every single day. Today is Habibi’s. Global traveler. Imaginative warrior. Loving heart / Piss and vinegar. She is so far beyond the imagined in so many ways. And yet,…

A Good Day to Die

I rarely have a complete day; one in which… at the end, I feel complete. of course there is more I’d like to accomplish, a lot more I’d like to learn, and some imaginings I’d like to experience… if today is my last day, it ended well. Why is today so complete? The only thing…

Voice

Tonight I am grateful for my voice; full & timid. Asleep and alive. I am grateful for the Spirit communicating while I survive… I sing. I shudder. I fall.Don’t really know what I’m doing…At allAnd though the wind blows fiercelyYou still will hear my call And tonight I’m only grateful for my voice. The words…

Intimacy

“There is nothing I love better…”~ Alicia Keys ~ I have had wonderful experiences of sharing intimacy recently; expanding my ideas and comforts with what I believed intimacy was… Part of what I learn is to be vulnerable; to keep withdrawing my attempts of safety – control. To give until i’m down to the hardened…

Black Lives Matter

I am grateful for the voices wiser then my own – helping to keep the energy moving. Change happens with critical mass. I hope and pray we’re now at critical mass… It’s been a long time coming. Please; shut up about all lives matter… It is not time for watering down the narrative; decreasing the…

A Little Rock; A Little Roll

I don’t know what I’m grateful for tonight… I’m kind of grateful for everything! I’ve recently come across some science studies on gratitude. Gratitude. It’s good medicine. Facts. As a part of our blog, my brother and I, whom I’m also grateful for, usually post a song – or some video – to accompany our…

A Quiet Place

…you ought to have a place that you can come and know that you can be quiet. Nikki Giovanni There is a lot of trust in an individual, and myself, when I am with them in relaxed silence… it is as though we both are confident – we have faith – in this shared moment,…

Practice

I am grateful for practice… and all those who forgive me and support me while I am practicing.
