07.11.2015 Victory Sound It started off faint. So faint, I felt as if I had to pretend I was hearing it. But it was real, I couldn’t deny it. You know, faith. I have heard about this song, this song of victory. But I wondered, did it exist? I believed it did. I’d been told … Continue reading Victory Sound
Throwback Thursday: #noego
No matter where I go, I refuse to be either ashamed of, or overcome by, where I came from. Check the picture. I was a super confused teenager (per the picture) and had a lot of issues laid out before me from age 6 to overcome. In middle and high school, I struggled with not … Continue reading Throwback Thursday: #noego
Forward Progression: a Thief?
I'm sick of the acute immediacy of pain and unpleasant situations. You know, that illusion that points out that what is going on immediately is all there is and that nothing could possibly change. Yet, we know it will change. It's inevitable. The only constants in life are God and change, right? This is that … Continue reading Forward Progression: a Thief?
Ink vs Memory
"The dullest ink is better than the brightest memory." A few weeks ago, I listened to a rabbi touch on the importance of journaling. Tonight, I further contemplate the wonderful benefits of documenting events and thoughts and processing through things by doing so. I have always been a journaler. Well, off and on. Since I … Continue reading Ink vs Memory

My imagination makes the sound of the highway below into the roaring waves of the ocean. The sun warms my feet. There's no wifi here. I could turn my data connection off, … Continue reading Processing

With faith in their God, and Hope in their hand, they stand against the odds to fulfill God's Great Plan. Though the battle be … Continue reading The Real Life
3 Things
Imagine a house. You know the place – the one where all the neighborhood kids, plus you, hung out. It was never immaculate. Sure, you were not to touch the china closet, or go in the adults’ bedroom, but those were pretty much the only off-limits areas. Who wanted to mess with either of those … Continue reading 3 Things
Caterpillar
“Butterfly or die, b*tch!” Everyone knows the story of the caterpillar, right? You know, it begins as a caterpillar, goes into a cocoon, then emerges, through a metamorphosis, a beautiful, wondrous butterfly?? Let’s pick this apart a bit. Metamorphosis: (in an insect or amphibian) the process of transformation from an immature form to an adult … Continue reading Caterpillar
Unlearned
A few months ago, when I moved, by default I performed a type of inventory – a subconscious-turned-intentional assessment of all the things I have and their usefulness. Having about 85% of my belongings in a storage locker for 3 months changed my perspective on what I really needed, and what I didn't. Upon clearing … Continue reading Unlearned
Life
Life High in the Himalaya mountains, there was a town. In this town, there was a wise old man. People would travel from miles and miles around to visit the old wise man to consult with him on many matters: life, matters of the heart, destiny, etc. He was known to have the answers … Continue reading Life
