Blog: Solar Fire Takes the Helm

Well, after I let the sails take me to a movie by myself [the movie was better than I thought it would be, my ability to enjoy it was less than I hoped], a new friend unexpectedly called, invited me to come over – to grill and sing karaoke. Given how categorically alone I’ve been, Continue reading

Hot Take: Defining Success

I’ve heard numerous times the popular phrase – successful people do what unsuccessful people won’t/don’t. Like many of these short, powerful statements, I never struggled to understand it conceptually, but also couldn’t articulate that into any practical, applicable action to take in my life. Furthermore, examining many of the folks that like to use phrases Continue reading

Letting Go

Unclasp borrowed burdenRelease shame’s leaden cloakWasn’t yours to carryIts weight that nearly broke Your back to curl tightlyTraps hardened taut with dreadStrapping skull to shouldersPosed stiff to stare ahead Disrupt dark disorderLet fall before the dead Undress under starlightCool air to bring releasePrickle each pore aliveBathe burden with belief Your back unfurls slowlyShoulders lower to Continue reading

Blog: 14 Days, 13 More

TW: mental health, self-harm, suicide flavored stuff Reading between the lines of my blogs and poetry, it’s likely apparent if anyone is reading that, given my choices to take control of my life, I have endured something like 3 solid months of painful endings.

Blog: Choices on the Open Ocean

I sailed across a sea of sunlit green today, crossing rivers I’d never seen prior, seeing new states and license plates. Tonight’s landing is the perfect blend of the first and the second spots. It’s close enough to civilization that I can Grubhub myself a proper dinner to break up the convenience store bites (often Continue reading

Blog: Home

Before I leave a place behind, it’s important to me to feel it wholly. To understand and experience what it is, to know what letting it go will mean. I’ve always said goodbye and thank you to the places that have sheltered me, however temporary – hotel rooms to states, even cars. Everywhere I’ve even Continue reading

Shards

I will pluck every shardFrom my mindYour venom touch No sleep, I want to hearPulls and popsThat tear the hush Counting each crimson chipEach small deathPunctures me pale I offer eachA gentle kissA quiet wakeA silent wail Time grew scars, tough and soreWhere softnessAnd delight reigned Azure lights lost to grayEach feelingFearful or feigned I Continue reading
