loneliness is a state of mind that has little to do with being alone
it’s just as easy to feel lonely surrounded by friends, at a party, or in a crowd of a thousand people as when sitting on a bench alone at midnight, gazing across the silent surface of a black water
loneliness is an infection of the mind
a disease of whispers that says I am not enough
that I require someone else to validate my existence
but we are the only being capable of establishing our own value in any lasting or meaningful way
without internal value, no number of friends or compliments will help us fill the void of loneliness
but when we love ourself, being alone is less a curse and more a chance to hang out with our own best friend
All my books are free forever including, Where Whispers Willow, a collection of 100 reverie, musings and lingering dreams.

my last happy moment
was the kiss we shared
on the mist filled street outside your store
the day before you asked me not to come around anymore

is there someone out there
who might adore me as much as i do them?
why is she so hard to find?
and will we meet somehow, before we’re both out of time?

357 this trace of rain
357
this trace of rain and bedtime and midnight nicotine lingers in endlessly dark strands of you baptizing me with warmth and tenderly held form breathlessly savoring the flavor of your soul laid bare in a valley of starched sheets and the scarred beats of your past melting away with each shy smile

320 humanity is remarkable in our ability to create and love and think

humanity is remarkable in our ability to create and love and think
but in more ways than we’d like to admit we really are just animals
barely above a throng of buffalo in our ability to rely on rational thought rather than innate impulse
to be animal is to rely on instinct
and this is more than enough for many of life’s demands
but to be human is to think and feel and separate ourselves from the herd through uniqueness, uncommon dreams, and the definition of our own reality

312 the one truth every living being shares is being alive in this moment

the one truth every living being shares is being alive in this moment
in this commonality, we are connected in our shared existence
it is here where our differences become meaningless
in our inability to own the future, that which we do not yet possess, we are equal
in our inability to own the past, the time that has slipped through our fingers into a great expanse of sandy beach behind us, we are equal
in life and death, we are equal
there are no rich or poor in the great and powerful now
each of us possesses the same amount of now, because now is always equal, never growing or shrinking
now is the great equalizer of life
