When I Just Wrote (Hybrid Poetry)

No fancy words, just something said. 

Creativity calls, and I've shown up with crayons. 

Writing with ill-prepared tools of the soul. 

No fancy words, just something said. 

Jotting down thoughts with these crayons called ideas and expressions. 

Speaking from a tired soul that's worn. 

No fancy words, just something said. 

Creativity calls, and I've shown up with crayons. 


            ......... But crayons still color, and I'll color with written words; painting a word picture of perseverance, grateful for something new when I just wrote.

How (Poetry)

        This poem (below) is written in response to a writing prompt recently given where you have to describe the taste of a surprising food in the most creative way. Enjoy. How (Poetry) How does one describe such a taste, from such an unassuming fruit? How does one give explanation to such a tiny thing? Just write as you think, A slap in the face, then the kindest hug; this is how to describe a Kiwi's taste.

This Is A Letter

              This is a letter, from a modern-day man, to one who may need this. Here I am writing once again, of creating and hoping as you do. This is a message, to someone somewhere, hoping you don't quit, especially when it's tough and creativity doesn't happen easily. This is a word, a surprising "word for someone" that you have a gift, one that can help others (and will help you too), that is good and constructive and will bring others to Jesus. This is an attempt to reach out, hoping it finds you well, and if it doesn't it helps you be well, remembering you aren't alone. Jesus is calling you, calling you to create, find healing and give it (as He gives, works, and leads you), remembering you can create still in a way that speaks of Him (however that looks).  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel ...

Trial And Error (How To Grow)

              Over the years I've had to work past the fear of failure (the fear of trying even). I'd like to say I've mastered this area; I'd like to be honest even more though. Everything has been trial and error over the years. Here's how to do this thing. Here's how to think. Here's how to feel. Here's how to believe this or that, and so on.               It's been exhausting at times, and more than once even defeating when the floor of failure is hit. There remains the temptation to not get back up again in those moments (we've all been there). One thing in growing through trial and error though is to REMEMBER what's good (what's worked). We can get lost in what hasn't and believe the lie that NOTHING will. We must remember that it doesn't have to be perfect, that there must simply be some sort of forward motion (and this can look different for us all). Sometimes (many times) it isn't always an actual action...
