  • Dirty Windows

    Opinions should only come from people who are living the life you want. Everyone else should be a spectator. But spectators are rarely quiet. They sit comfortably in the ruins of their own choices and shout instructions across the fence about how someone else should rebuild theirs. Turn left. Leave. Stay. Forgive. Walk away. Try…

  • Somewhere along the way, we started speaking to the voice in the head in the third person. Not because we lost our mind. Quite the opposite. It happened because one morning, while standing in front of the bathroom mirror brushing our teeth, the voice started talking again. You know the one. The running commentary. The…

    Some people are still standing in the forest,waiting for a voice to tell them which way is north.They move carefully, step by step,looking for signs, trails, markers, hands to point.They believe the path already existsand their only task is to find it. Others are swinging the axe.Not because they are angry,but because they are tired…

  • You call it exhaustion,but it answers to another name when it’s honest. It is the quiet cost of arrival. Once, you asked for this without knowing its weight.Now you carry it and wonder why your shoulders ache.You confuse the heaviness for punishmentwhen it is proof you were trusted with more. There was a time you…
