A gash or bruise, scars and scrapes
across the skin. You feel it deeply.
It resides within.
The process of pain: difficult to
comprehend, harder to explain.
It is always there.
Physically, mentally, intimately; cause
or effect unknown, even unnoticed.
We try to keep it hidden.
Excuses of misfortune sublimate
the anger. Emotions raw and ragged.
Our time. Our wounds.
You do not see what we feel. How
can we heal when we won’t even
acknowledge the source.

What do we wake to, is
it ever the same? People,
predicaments, or weather
are all subject to change.
Yesterday was different
than it will be today.
So will you, in your own
unique way. It is what it is.

Sometime over the coming weeks, but certainly by the impending new year, this website will undergo a few changes. You might even see them as they evolve.
It’s time for both change and a new year, and an alteration to the way I conduct myself and display my daily thoughts: I write every damn day.
Daunted by the insidious infiltration of routine, I have become frustrated. To combat the daily delirium, I’ve considered certain options by planning ahead (something so unlike me: I’m more of a spur of the moment kind of guy).
To be honest, I need a little more time to tend to the bigger picture, but I cannot ignore the space I have carved out here for almost a decade.
It’s time to step ahead.
I am looking forward to the change, and the specifics will become apparent in the coming weeks. I hope you enjoy the change of pace, as much as I will.

Be the brightness
you need to feel.
Be the light
you need to see.
Shine on.

Shorter days, lower temperatures,
less daylight to accomplish what
needs to be done.
More and more artificial light
crowding our night.
These days, fewer and fewer
places to go. You still need to get
there, even if it is only home.
What awaits you?
Are you in a rush to arrive, or
can you take it slow?
Do you have choice?
Only you can know.
