Have a little faith
Believing is not the same as faith. At least not in the way that I experience it. When I believe in something, it’s because I’ve attached evidence from previous experiences that convince me that what I believe to be true is probably true. While there is an element of faith to that, its not really…

Prisms of beauty
If you keep chasing rainbows, you won’t find the time to notice that you’re the prism creating the beauty that you so desperately court. Breathe beloved, and pause for long enough to appreciate the beauty of you, despite the ugly of them. (From the sequel to An Incomplete Love Story that may never be written)...

Chasing ghosts
Of the multiple lifetimes that I’ve endured, reality flirts between the beauty that I saw, and the ugly that I experienced. Sanity was relegated to an after thought when what I saw was a vision uniquely experienced by me. Too real to dismiss, but too fantastical to be believed. It’s the belief that I need...
