I thought blogging would be a good catalyst      to help me finish           what I start to write –      a way to wrap things up and                   put stuff out there                          rather than just journaling                                         in … Continue Reading →

Protect

Posted on November 16 2012 by J.W. Richmond

He shuts off            down            in.           Grieving. As pain slowly covers                      encompasses him,      he tries to make his world smaller                                          manageable                                          controllable,           but it still screams back in his face,                       reminding him … Continue Reading →

Revolving

Posted on November 10 2012 by J.W. Richmond

I feel like I’m just going in circles                                    cycles                                    laps                          and never actually get                                    anywhere. I slow down   trudge through            speed up            run faster       and stay right where … Continue Reading →

Humbling

Posted on November 3 2012 by J.W. Richmond

Am I a moral person? In most areas,      for the most part,                mostly, I am.                          (I think.) But is that like someone thinking they are humble (2 Chronicles 7:14)? Maybe once you think you are,           it … Continue Reading →

I feel under pressure      to write something (readable). I know the pressure comes           mostly                from within. But I don’t know how                not                to feel it. This is why goals are so hard for me to … Continue Reading →

Saturated

Posted on October 13 2012 by J.W. Richmond

Sometimes I am so aware      of myself      of the people in my life      of the world around me           that it’s almost like an                     overly saturated photo. Each detail is so concentrated                     strong                     bright … Continue Reading →

Mostly

Posted on September 30 2012 by J.W. Richmond

I have been trying so hard      to communicate                what I feel –      which is probably (mostly) a good thing;                          it pushes me                          out. But sometimes (I think)      my attempt at communicating                what I feel … Continue Reading →

Go

Posted on September 22 2012 by J.W. Richmond

Sometimes I feel like                I just need to get                                   out of the way                of my thoughts. But where am I supposed to go?
