“It’s a heartache, nothing but a heartache”….another tune in my head I hadn’t heard in too many years to number. I couldn’t remember the other words and I understood they didn’t matter. My own heart had been aching for weeks and at first I tried to put definition to the reasons, but nothing fit.
The reality [...]

A Valentine’s day potluck was going on but I just wasn’t feeling it and I left to take a drive. A light rain had started as I headed toward the countryside. The trees and grape vines were without leaves or limbs. Winter’s grip seemed to be so tight, but along the roadside were bursts of [...]

“Where was the body?” It was the only question playing over and over in my head. At first I searched casually but when I couldn’t find it within reasonable proximity, I went into overdrive trying to locate it.
The body I was looking for was that of a cricket. While I was vacuuming the day before, [...]

I am of a generation longing to be defined by my defiance! The status quo is unfit for the mind longing to step into the dreams and promises which are ours to have. After all we are a chosen generation and this is not an age group thing, it’s a now thing.
De-fi-ance….1: the act or [...]

“A voice crying in the wilderness…..”
I begin to look at this from life experiences. What seemed like a sentence I thought I understood now becomes so much more. Time and space is the wilderness. We cry out but noise competes with our voice frequencies. Suddenly we can’t be heard over the television, schedules or text [...]

Would you hear the poetry of my heart?
If I drew a picture without form
Would you see the shapes anyway?
And if I painted with only one color
Would you see the sunsets I have drawn?
These are what I [...]

I was given permission to ride a motorcycle and having no common sense but much bravado, I took advantage of the opportunity to utilize this vehicle. I knew motorcycles but this particular one was bigger than me and had more power than I’d ever had access to before.
The excitement of the ride was wonderful and [...]

Movies come and go, but one made in our generation was called “Eyes Wide Shut” starring a couple of pop icons at the time, directed by some name that mattered to the movie industry. I have no comment about the movie itself, but I keep wondering about the title these days. It was plastered on [...]

I find myself in lowly positions lately, meaning getting prostrate when I am moved to do so. Not always convenient, comfortable or timely. Always for purpose….I am being broken in love.
Psa 10:17  LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear

My shoes sunk deep into the path with each step. The water had saturated the ground and I tried my best to stay in the gravel areas where water drained better. My mind was drawn back to the hills and sunshine of another season. I missed the bench where I could lay out my journal, [...]
