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
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
Processing
I sit underneath a tree at the park. A circular fountain ahead of me beautifully sprays into the air, intentionally spraying into itself. 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

Messengers
Does your life carry a message to it? I imagine it does. In fact, I am certain of it. Have you ever considered this? What is your story? What trials or hardships have you personally gone through and had to overcome to be in the place where you are today? When I was a teenager, … Continue reading Messengers
Identity
I’ve got some fire in my belly for these upcoming weeks. The inspiration that drives us can come from positive influences or seemingly negative circumstances .. but at the end of the day, if you have a story to tell, would you share it? Would you allow ANYTHING to shut you up? Light is meant … Continue reading Identity
