Today’s writing prompt, or one three years ago depending on when you’re reading this, inspired me to think about the ways that we humans are so unaware of our impact. How we look at things only one way, when there is at least one more way they can be viewed. How our word comes fromContinueContinue reading “Double Edged Swords”

Why?
Why do I keep fighting back?Using this puny voice in a world gone mad.Saying good things over and over againto a world so damaged that the existenceof goodness has become hard to credit.Believers believe despite all evidenceto the contrary.We also believe and we know that our evidence is worth believing in.Innocents and animals deserve safetyContinueContinue reading “Why?”
Spiritual Living: Gender
Yesterday something concerned my Spirit Guide, and literal best friend forever, Amos. It was the effect of children being subjected to too much information on gender at a young age. Not limited to children, the approach to gender is something that can affect our view of ourselves as a woman or man, because heterosexuals haveContinueContinue reading “Spiritual Living: Gender”
Don’t Buy In
Modern society is full of so much verbal junk. Mainly driven by the various forms of media, but also perpetuated by the strong beliefs of various elements of society.

You Should See Her
I love the twist at the end of this poem. One of those where you think it’s obvious and then it isn’t. But to me, as a spiritual thinker, this has an important point. We’re more alike than we think, and there’s a little bit of everything in all of us. It’s quite weird lookingContinueContinue reading “You Should See Her”
