Where are the heroes of old?Are we still under the spell from adopting the lies we were sold?At what point do we bend at the knees and fold?Will healing come through being told that we were right;or is there still a need to fight, wielding our words as knives used to split the wheat from …

Awaiting Discovery Within
Make a mistake.Go outside with your rake,Take take take;It’s time again to placate Listen to the breeze and let yourself believe that the rustling leaves whisper to you. Allow yourself this one break. Reason says otherwise, and I surmise that it’s choices which have me temporarily paralyzed. Forget to realize that the leaves aren’t alive? …
Striving to Ascend
Upwards we strive, sweeping blunders aside. Inside hosts the rings that demarcate time. Nothing but bands of lines. Roots cling to the ground. Anchoring the emerging sprouts until they can finally stand. The moving winds serve a disruptor to nature’s plan. Aspiring for ascension to the sky sustains the plant's continual drive to climb.
Decisions of Motion

Contemplation of the Rain
Let the dams be damned and ameliorate this famined land. Upon what hills will you take a stand; amidst what turmoil will your integrity begin to disband? Our resolve weakens, our countenance grays, yet a force continues to uphold our inner constitution. The nature of numbness raises doubts about whether it's life or us that …
Aging and Emotional Preferences
Most of us strive to feel good; this doesn’t necessarily mean we are continually striving after pleasure in a hedonistic sense; rather, our strivings toward feeling good can be described as striving toward feeling a positive affect. In science, and specifically the field of psychology, the term affect typically refers to the visible manifestation of …
Repetitions in Search of Meaning
Sprouts burst forth anew; Leaves manifest from within to allow, once more, for there to be a thickening. Where is it that we are destined? Will there be true rest again - What about frivolities with friends? Why do we bother so much with the questions of where does this train end when …
