Of Worn Paths And Worn Lives

         Down roads that have been travelled (and ones that haven't) I've journeyed. Some more well known, and others barely known. Down long miles I've driven, called, set my "tools of the trade" in order and faced more unpredictable outcomes than most know. This is the job, to do it and overcome somehow; and on more than one occasion I've went WAY beyond "just getting it done". 

         I say this NOT to be puffed up with pride, but to give context to how tough these miles and mountains have been. Climbing up yet another "mountain" of a difficult circumstance. Travelling yet another mile to overcome the treacherous way before me; and here I am worn.....so I write. I write to process and make some kind of difference in this world. I write to earn income at a better pace, and in a better way. I write to "pull over" and "park" this car of pace and hardships that have been brutal. There have been good moments, times I've even been able to be a blessing here and there, though it is often outweighed by the unhealthy; so I write. Down these worn paths of words (ones I've travelled and not) I've journeyed, looking for the new way where a better pace and healing can be found again.

What Isolation Sees (An Older Poem I Wrote)

Once thought alone, this is no longer, this faulty thought process, for eyes look upon me in a pensive mindset. Not the Infinite but the internal are found here though, myself shrouded in dark invisibility, face to face with this mysterious entity, one called isolation. He looks on me in silence, a silence that speaks volumes though no word is uttered. Examination of self is impressed upon me, for such is his influence on my being. I dare to look again at myself, along with isolation, and here do I look upon it all, good and bad alike. What isolation sees he shows me: faults and found strengths, skills I knew not I possessed, failings I was unaware of, ones buried deep within me, ones hidden well inside. This mysterious one isn’t a curse, and in his presence I find myself again, I begin again to right myself, and here I am being made whole once more. What isolation sees isn’t always bad, nor is what he shows, these blessed ways from the Infinite, ways to make us better, better if we a...

Just Write (How To Create When You're Beginning And Feeling Overwhelmed)

               You’re stuck. You feel empty. Overthinking seeks to imprison you; you can’t be shackled though, unless you don’t try. Just write. Don’t worry if it’s perfect, or even how much you will be able to write. Listen as you do, listen as that “inner writer” speaks (for they will) and words will arrive to meet you. First a few words will gather together, one by one, making complete pictures; small actions to a bigger result of greater writing. The little will grow, and so will your confidence. Just write.                  Just a word at a time while remembering to keep writing. Soon paragraphs will be seen. One word will become two and sentences will gather together becoming paragraphs. Just write. You will encounter overwhelming perfection call out loudly on your journey, attempting to stop you….this is where you need to remember you can edit later. Just write. It will be beautiful, the complete...

I Will Stand My Ground

        Light breaks through as clouds of despair are pierced, as hope begins to shine bright again, fierce and unrelenting. Life enters with the wind where change casts it's welcome breezes, and here I breathe in this refreshing shift of resolve.         Small steps are taken toward the dawning of renewal, a faith restored again as a good to be is reassured and seen in parts with each movement to healing; healing to grace for the broken, direction for the lost...for us all.
