A smidgen of Fall spice
One slow goodbye, crunchy leaves floating around, I taste hops and chocolate. Time is cinnamon raining now on a morning coffee; the breeze opens my sheets and mouths… I might want you here. Orange skies, skeletons and laughter, the cat meows when he hears my sighs when your perfume reaches these shores of pink clouds…
Antigravedad
Las flores llueven ensimismadas naranjas y turquesas sobre reflejos. Finales de verano. Los círculos se cierran personas que vuelven sueños que cabecean una brisa fría advierte de viejos conocidos. Abro una libreta nueva que se llena de cobalto y marino. Recojo los mares que nos quedan rotos en pedazos mosaicos de mil cielos serán puentes…
Today’s aftertaste
You and I have seen each other; this is not the first time and yet – here it happens, a chance meeting of the eye and now everything’s different – it begins the story I wasn’t expecting we see each other – I hope. I wasn’t seeking you, I could not anticipate it would be…
End of Challenge 1
Intricacies of change Yes, it has been a while since I last wrote on here, despite my attempt at writing often. Why? The answer is a predictable one. Life has sucked my juice out of me. It’s not that I haven’t been inspired or dedicated time and effort to some of my hobbies and goals,…

Have you ever felt like you are living a life that doesn’t quite suit you? That you are behaving and moving through your circumstances in ways that don’t do justice to your whole being? I feel like that right now. I know it is probably temporary, but I can tell (because of how painfully aware…
How to know your life purpose – or how to get one
What is your calling? What is the purpose of your life? Why are you alive? What is the value of your life? What makes life valuable to you? What is a life well-lived? How do you find meaning in life? So many questions we ask ourselves. Some of us, we ask them constantly. Almost every…
It ain’t life
It ain’t love,it ain’t life:that which doesnot changeyou,that which doesnot breakyou,that which doesnot challengeyou. It ain’t love,it ain’t life:if it doesnot erase,the facesfrom your mind,the wants and the donts,if it doesnot crashthe dreams and goalsthe future and the past. If it doesnot turneverythingupside down. It ain’t love,it ain’t life,it ain’t a mystery,and it ain’t worth…
The Beauty of Words
We are all together in our aloneness. Sometimes, in our desperate need to feel connected, words are the hand that opens the window of the other to their self. Words are powerful. Words save and destroy, heal and hurt. Words give and take. Words make up our worlds. Words touch souls, arouse the mind, set…
