Chasms Call

  Note About The Piece Below: recently as I walked through some difficult emotions there was a grace upon it, and with that God-given grace there was a better understanding that sometimes it's okay to be in those emotions (sadness, discontent, etc.) as long as we don't stay there, and they aren't given power over us. Some much darker emotions we NEVER walk through, NEVER GIVE power to (such as hate that gives way to abuse, rage, etc. ). Yet more common ones (such as sorrow) can teach us the value of joy and actually solidify what is good. We all need release of these more common unpleasant emotions. This piece demonstrates that. This is someone's...."permission", that if you're not okay right now, it's okay; just don't stay there. You.can.overcome.


       Chasms call and I'm left to wander, wander for a time through the darkness. Chasms cry out to me, invite me in, to walk their dark valleys and pits. The darkness bids me enter and stay a while, so I stay a while, for only a little while. Here I fumble my way through, continue forward until I see the light, remembering that sometimes to find the light we must walk through the darkness of unpleasant and unwelcome emotions to learn how to overcome our chasms of unhealthy and find our healthy; remembering we don't stay lost forever.

Roles We Play

          A place and a time, a story and those involved, and we are stepping into roles we play. From the waking of days to the evening goodbyes there's a calling that invites. Here we meet goals, fulfill responsibilities and roles, roles we play. Here we take time, to pretend and imagine, and we become something better. Men and women, husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, all living out the roles we play.            At work or at play, we all make a way, to fulfill to our best the roles in new ways. At different times, in different amounts we all carry on, looking at how to best live our lives, and the roles we play in them. Always looking at how to be our best at our "craft" whatever that is, and however that looks. Parent or spouse, (perhaps even both), these are the roles we play in life; and we can always change them, for better when not done well, this is the grace given us all, something I'm looking at again as I enter th...

Making It Easier

        In an attempt to clean the blog up, add value, and make navigating it easier, I put several older posts together (below). Below is a mix of several different types of writing I've done, both new and old. Thanks for being here.         The Old Place On The Hill (Older Non-Fiction)        Sitting as one speaking stories of long ago, there remains the old place on the hill. The large old house of red brick stands steady yet worn, tired, though not enough to speak of it's long years long forgotten now. It speaks and none seem to listen....almost none. Years of lives lived there and it remains quiet, simply is, and this is it's final story.         Representing it's small "community" of dwellings, it stands to listen as they speak. I pass by and listen if they'll speak, though they never do. Only memories of old echo from their worn and tired frames, some old narrow trailer and a carport that seems to wan...

When I Feel Invisible

         When I feel invisible, I slip into it, walk through life and humanity undetected; sometimes. I revel in the lack of pressure to measure up, to be something instead of someone.            When I feel invisible, I embrace the grace, create in the quiet that is granted, and look again. Look again at what I value, what I believe, where I find my worth and identity. In the hidden there is room to grow and my soul rejoices.             When I feel invisible, forgotten, I reflect back again, speak back to myself, and remind me I'm not, I just feel that way sometimes.
