A love story that doesn’t bruise the skin — it bruises the nervous system. Velvet Teeth explores obsession, control, addiction, and the quiet ways we lose ourselves inside someone else.

Notation of a nightmare. Stalked, tormented, and afraid; I've had these for months. They come and they go, but the subject remains the same.

Never Leave a Knife In The Sink - remembering interactions that shaped my thoughts and feelings while living with a partner that wasn't the right one.

The second installment in my Lenten series: Good Lord Deliver Us, The Great Litany as Exile Survival Kit. We have given voice to our grief. Now it’s time to look in the mirror and see how we came to be here. Based upon the Scripture readings for the Second Sunday in Lent (Year A)

When you say the word "Research", you tend to think nerdy men in lab coats with beakers... however, I did plenty of research and hypothetical research into adolescents during my graduate studies. One part of my dissertation included a proposal to help a specific area of psychology and childhood development. Continue Reading...

Yesterday was Sunday, and I was at a craft market — I’m a vendor, and I sell at this market every week. Honestly, this time of year, I don’t make money at it. In fact, I often don’t make enough to cover the table, but it’s usually pretty close. There were pamphlets for Al-Anon on the table when I arrived. Now, I don’t have a problem with 12-step programs, but they have the same success rates as quitting cold turkey does, and I think this is important to know.

It was overlooked but still I feel insecurity creeping in. I fought a battle with myself and won on numerous occasions. While I harmed the very being of my own identity, I realized, my story isn't pretty but it is inspiring. To fight the urgency of a decay unlike cancer but still on the inside, this decay that is from the brain and endorphins. There is a battle wound melded into my soul that shines through the lightened streaks on my arms and legs. Continue reading...

I would like to hear feedback and comments on my E-book, CHILDREN OF THE NEW SUN. It has generated much controversy and interest since its publication two months ago.

Scars heal bruises fade It is only the heat of the moment that with in us stays we think and debate then we strike and abate

Tears of sorrow Tears of pain Tears of loss Tears that never wane Screaming pleading Begging for it's return Feeling only the flames of rejection

some places don’t ask you to fit in. they just make room for you. you feel it in the small moments, the soft crunch of gravel, the glow of a porch light, the way the air settles around you like it remembers your name. belonging isn’t loud here. it’s gentle. it’s steady. it’s the feeling of finally exhaling because you’re standing somewhere that knows you.

This poem is written from loving someone to the point where you can't even stand them but you don't want to be alone and you don't know why you're just hurting and sad but you realize you don't love them you just don't want to be alone.

never ignores wise words, they are the daily journals written everyday with pure discipline not some motivational hypes

AI is cold. It is mechanical but not precise. It is based on logic without consent. It is based on data without the emotional pull of a true artist. There is no "mistake" in human art. It is perfectly imperfect... Continue Reading.

Winds whisper and whine Rivers flow with the ease of time These are the sounds of the echos The echos that play over and over in my mind I see the fields as they sway in the breeze I hear the horses hooves As they gallop past the trees

In 1816, much of the Northern Hemisphere experienced unusual cold and crop failure during what became known as the Year Without a Summer. The cause was the massive 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia, which released ash and sulfur into the atmosphere, blocking sunlight and lowering global temperatures. Snow and frost struck parts of United States and Europe during summer months, leading to food shortages and economic hardship. The strange weather even influenced culture, as indoor confinement near Lake Geneva inspired Mary Shelley to begin writing Frankenstein. The event revealed how a single natural disaster could disrupt climate and society worldwide.

Fishing! Not everyone likes it nowadays. Which is entirely understandable, given our efforts in conservation and protection of waterways and wetlands. Hey, I'm an environmentalist myself. I get it, but back then in the 80's I was young and living in the country, there wasn't much else to do and we all had so much fun doing it. We were careful and nice enough kids that we took care and put all the fish back and didn't leave any trash ever. I mean, never-ever! I had a couple of experiences on my own that left me all a-tingle. Let's get into it and let's go fishing!

Understanding Reality in a new way by treating entropy as a field, not just a statistical or probabilistic measure of disorder

I have been publishing daily for the last few months, but life caught up, and I took a few days off. I’ve been known to push through this kind of state and keep going, despite not having anything useful to say, just to maintain momentum, but decided not to this time.
