♥ Glory Compelled, draw near to this passageway. It is a safe harbor within words and worlds, rotating and pulsating at all times behind the worries and misfortunes so much easier to dwell on. But in this darkened hallway, I see doorways cracked open with slivers of hope dancing out into the dampness where we trudge. Open windows too bring in the breeze, but no fair light touches their ledge. No, this way is easy and over too quickly; don't even try to look out the windows. Symphony behind compe...

♥ The Child In repose against the flimsy mattress with sputtering coughs and incomprehensible wheezing the child yawns and feels his back - reaching for a grasp. Will you scratch it? Of course, where? Up. Up. There. Feigning relief and mastering enough courage to fit a smile, a grin, a memory on his face he feels the skin's imperfections; little bumps, backbone. He stops. And then runs a finger across, tracing a tree. When I was a boy, Pop drew on my back like this. What is it? Guess. A circle? ...

Please leave a review on Apple Podcasts! ♥ Impetus I am the judge: un-bestowed, yet unrelenting in my nit-picky sentiment driven and riot fueled pronouncements. They don't go anywhere. They feed on my sanity. And I don't think that overstates anything. Feeling forward in lurches and groaning and mostly while glancing back. Small wonder that awareness even bre...

♥ Within In, within , beyond the shining Without a sight, forever Without a loss, memory. In, within , beyond the hope Sorrow sweetened fall-time Singing old time hymns. In, within , beyond the sea Deep wells linger on Old man walking, turning. In, within , beyond the war Toward caged moments Repentance, perseverance. In, within , beyond mountainsides Staved off depression, Dug in to hometown & fun In, within , beyond the calming So long to wait and ashen So long in the countryside. In, with...

♥ Slidempty Slip out & decay. Stay warm beneath shrouding doubt. I am cold and bare and unfamiliar. I have woken but remained translucent. Slip out & dissolve. Comfort and need and hope dwindle and renew. My future former misdirected self-inflicted flippancy. Turns on me. Slip out & pulled under. Bundled in fear and the current that threatens. I will not trust this, another phantasm, with fickle fanaticism--all thorough. Slip out, slip up, full on and relent. With a temptress and bli...

♥ Illumina7e Hardwired, hard-written and withdrawn. Put away from me every evil intent. Instead, look up. Wake up. With legacy and perseverance, I will not shroud into the dim afterglow. Very still now. And illuminan7. Given light and feeling and grace mishandled. Given hope and love and purity unraveled. Given faith to open my eyes. Given a gravity well of joy--shaken, but never forgotten. Bleed out this tainted resin which has corroded the permanence I so seek of beauty and carefreeness which ...

♥ the truth anew A journey further in due course is overdue for us. Let us replicate a simple melody. Let us resuscitate a permanent indwelling method. Draw down. Draw out. Draw near. Come and stay a while. Very still now. Be afraid of non-compliance. Be aware of yourself being aware of yourself & within that recursive dilemma, exorcise your ego that you may be free for a moment. Look, I'm just reading this as I get it, don't look @ me for some clarity. I can feel it's rare to see a mis-beli...

♥ the truth anew What is the truth? I don’t want my labors to be the dwelling burdens that they morph themselves into. Devoid of joy when even joyful activities divorce themselves of fellowship. So much, I desire to live free of the perpetual tug towards performance and perfection and metrics fabricated to indicate success when in any circumstance I am still unfulfilled. Am I merely making a deal with myself? What will it take to disconnect from the false nature I gravitate towards? What will it...

▌Enjoy Your Descent Test. Tasked. To ask. The fna show is an aural excursion through thought. It is an experiment in sound and idea. It is a terrible champion. Listen at risk. Fear to listen. Crucify complacency. I have found that for the better part of the past thirteen years I have had a need to purge from myself a series of resounding ideas that echo within my creative undertow. Ever quickening and always beckoning further, farther, farthest, furthest. Out and about and spiraling away. I have...
