I have twenty-four minutes to write, edit, and word count this post.(I’ll make word count one word if I need to, for reasons of word count) (Second reference should always be two words) I almost forgot to write today.I sat down to read my homework and I remembered.Thank God I remembered; this would have been […]

Courage.What is it? I’m forcing myself to learn about courage in the form of speaking. Not to-hear-my-own-voice speaking.But, instead, out-of-respect-for-the-relationship speaking. Or, so I am trying. I spoke to liberate the evil, that it could be free to leave me (be, alone).And the evil left.And with it, evil took emptiness.And behind it, left nothing new: the […]

Every day, there is a person, a play, a piece of music, I must refuse to quote. (Rule #7)This, is hard work; […]

I found some answers while I was Waiting For Godot… …can you call it “waiting” if he never shows… ….well, he didn’t show but it was still worth the wait. Not for him; for me. Human interaction is an exhausting effort. It doesn’t require effort, it is effort.(Note: Sacrificing precious words to repeat) Communication happens […]

I’ve been thinking about my friends recently.When you have the best friends in the world, can you blame a gal? (Note: I don’t typically refer to myself as “gal”) Back to friends.Mine, in particular. Although I guess this could apply yours, too. I am wondering how a relationship—platonic, romantic, political—manifests itself. This is the answer I’ve come […]

Today, I felt a small glimmer of hope.No, I didn’t see it; I felt it. It came first at the beach, second in a mug of tea, and third on the inside of a Dove chocolate wrapper. I think: the truly good things come in pieces, glimmers, moments, and ceramic […]
