One of the biggest jokes in Washington is when it comes time to balance the federal budget. It’s when Democrats, Republicans and Independents all take a seat at the proverbial roundtable in a pre-emptive effort to balance or bring some kind of legitimacy and clarity to America’s great big budget. All of this to prevent the government from shutting down. image from canslerconsulting.com They put on a big production staring all the famous political actors, and then go on about the business of deciding which non-defense related discretionary spending programs to freeze or cut.

I’m not easily impressed, but I was impressed from the start with her ability to captivate an audience with a unique writing style full of prose, poise, and excellent story telling. Her pen carried with it a certain grace that was evident to me, and many others by the looks of her comment section, from the start. While I tend to be long-winded in my writing, she would seemingly get straight to the point, not concerned with beating around the bush unless there was a bush that needed beating. One thing that stood out was how I would never get bored of her posts no matter how many of them I’d... [Read the full story]

What describes this super intense Longing, aching, rumbling feeling Can’t quite concentrate on anything without any meaning Except on how to keep our boat from reeling And how your body is the fruit that I see myself peeling How my spirit is searing With the passion of an electrified charge How your protons push my buttons Particles strum chords across my heart, and it understates the understanding Of this intense physical need And how you produce within me Such a power that I concede So strong is my desire For you – it bleeds And hinges on everything That I can’t fully conceive Of...

“You can close your eyes to things you don’t want to see, but you can’t close your heart to things you don’t want to feel no matter how hard you try.” That quote is in reference to just some of the things I have been feeling quite deeply lately. I’ve had a lot on my mind, and much of it has to do with cancer. I can’t remember the last time my mind wasn’t focused on my partner’s battle with this destructive disease. It’s been a little over seven months since the day she was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of breast cancer following... [Read the full story]

There Are Always Haters

We were on a long walk in the park in late August The lake water shimmered against the sun’s gaze fall was upon us And I stopped to lean against a tree It was the farthest one I could find You leaned against me and a passerby said something like, “It won’t last ladies” as if there was something...

The American Fall: Protesters Occupy Wall Street

In light of the recent Wall Street protests I thought I’d chime in with why I believe the American Fall, as opposed to the Arab Spring, has officially begun. We live in a country where laws are established to protect the masses from harm. We go as far as we can to stop or prevent behavior that entices and...

Deciphering A Purpose

Every day I reflect on the person I am becoming. A constant work in progress I used to call myself, but it’s more like a constantly evolving process in which I’m resolving my former doubt – living life as I know how.

Knowledge Evolves In Search of Truth

My quest for knowledge revolves around the search for truth, pure and unadulterated. Consequently, the quasi-knowledge I once held evolves while in search of its very distant cousin; truth.

The Dark Side of Affairs IV

I was recently asked by a reader of my blog: How or what did you read or do in order to initially get it together!? I met my karma head on.

I’ve written thousands of words dedicated to memories of you. How you swept through me like a tornado, left stormy thoughts encased in halos.
