  • Interconnected Light

    Geography may be the only thing that sets us apart from each other. Though, even that is challenged when we zoom out from our tiny universal existence in the great expanse of infinite space. But here on earth, we overly complicate things by obsessively categorizing every thing in its own separate conceptual container. We make harsh…

  • Rose Counterpoint

    In the heavy dirt roots a sturdy, brown stalk covered in black blades, like armor ready for war. As One traces their eyes up the stem, vile brown turns vert, and thorns become hidden behind broad leaves. Further up, the sinister spikes soften to an almost crystal cream in color, as if transformed into jewels…

  • Relationship Progress

    When there is progress, there is peace of mind. To bring harmony to One’s thoughts and actions, there must be a progressive track on which One can lead themselves. Thus, it is important to build a relationship with the concept of progress in One’s own efforts. 

  • Sweeping Attention

    Wind sweeps, swirls, picks up, puts down, and carries with it the silent, strong wishes of the hopeful. Soft bellows skim a dusty floor to uncover brilliance hiding under filth. Sweeping is a passing, a feeling, a whimsical invisible world in constant motion. It’s a reminder that the swift rise and fall of our emotions are…

  • Earth Redemption

    Earth herself, is a redeemer. She accepts all that dies into herself and regenerates all anew. She transforms decay into development, and waste into growing wonder. However, this cycle of miracle has a time span, just like any process with a start and finish. We have disregarded her patience–trying to convince ourselves that we have…

  • Compassionate Maturity

    As we come to understand compassion, we come to understand our authentic selves, our true nature. But, to realize something of such value comes only with time. We need the days to pass, to feel the sun set, and watch many a moon rise. We must understand that  the changes in ourselves happen as the…

  • Vow Completion

    Start what you finish. Vow to this, and your actions will be far and above many others. Completion embodies into those who commit; discipline, substance, focus. Even if your vow is to complete the most mundane task, such as watering a plant. Should you consistently neglect this one simple act, that plant will die. Think…

  • Morning Peace

    In the still morning, potential for the day breaks. Seize the opportunity to make a manse with the miracle that is morning. Feel the true phenomenon of turning away from ephemeral night, and into the sun star’s light–bask in it. Realize that morning is an earthly  endowment–a rare occurrence in the vastness of cold, dark space.…

  • Soul Rusticity

    Seasons. Bread. Simple. Rain. Bake. Sunshine. Soil. These are the things of high value in a rural life. These things, when abundant, keep our soul alive and well. Sarcasm. Boast. Sophisticated. Snide. Banter. Skyscraper. Street. These are the things of high value in a city life. These things, to keep abundant we consider our souls…

  • Life Manure

    Though life pours down from the stars, and it spurts up from the ground. A blade of grass, bud of flower, or baby beginning to crawl, are all miracles of unending awe that cycles through fascinating stages of life to death. Each phase of life is miraculous and multi-faced beyond our full explanation. We should…
