And

Why does my time with God have to be                                                     segregated                         into reading the Bible                         or attending a church service? Isn’t there some way       to spend actual,                   real                      time with Him … Continue Reading

Confide(d)

I don't think I could ever be      a counselor. I know the unidentified                   "they"             say people learn                   to compartmentalize                       keep their work                                  at work                                        and return to … Continue Reading

Ago

Looking over    what I have written,            it’s so great to know                          I am past those things                          I have grown                          I have improved. I look back a year ago,            and I was                    am                    … Continue Reading

‘She lets me hold her She lets me know her And she lets me come apart’ – “Simple Grace,”    The Ruse I’m not sure I’m so great at this           with Jeff. Am I there for him no matter … Continue Reading

Cockroaches

Jeff said recently that I am          “relaxed-deficient.” I wasn’t sure      whether I should laugh                          or agree;           I think I did both – along with a crooked face                                                         of frustration,                                        … Continue Reading

Dinosaur

Maybe I am a dinosaur.      Lyrics to songs           weren’t always available                                 instantly                                        from Google                                           or Soundhound. Many of my CDs and cassette tapes – yeah, yeah, dinosaur –           came without printed lyrics.      But … Continue Reading

Cursor

Everything goes white      except for the                     b  l  i  n  k  i  n  g                                    cursor                            on the empty page. I would strangle it if I could. Maybe      I could squeeze a few words                out … Continue Reading

Potential

Apparently      I have potential                     to do more                        be more. Who knew? I have wondered, sure. But I have also           questioned                if my view was inaccurate                                      untrue. Could I do … Continue Reading

Saltshaker

I can’t just turn feelings off           as if they never existed,      or pretend like they weren’t                      logical                to feel in the first place. I was probably overreacting                      overthinking it                      being petty. … Continue Reading
