  • play on

    Live your humanity; express yourself with care and compassion for others. We are all human.
    Play on. We will all benefit from the chorus of your constant melody.

  • you know

    on your own terms

    in your own time

     

    only you know

    what you need

     

    take the time to

    find out why

  • As It Will

    Winter will not wait

    for soft scarves, warm parkas,

    or Mom’s hot chocolate.

    Mindful of nothing, but itself,

    Winter comes as it goes,

    as it wants, as it will.

    Unexpected, unexcused,

    an unrepentant breath leaves

    a deep trail of icey footprints

    across our psyche. Winter waits

    for when we are most vulnerable.

    Winter cannot not wait.

  • Go lightly in your judgment
    please, you know less of my
    circumstance than I, and
    heaven knows I know so
    little about my reasons why
    and could only use a little
    empathy. Nothing is sacred
    in this tell-all society and it
    is only with reservation that
    I pay any attention to what I
    hear and believe as I must in
    a world that appears to work
    well without honesty as far
    as I can tell but don’t want
    to believe. I want to know.

  • make something of it

    Do you have plans for the day, or will you simply go about your way haphazardly, as you have done before.

    Is today one of those days, or will you make something of it?

    Do what you intend to do.
