Every breath has a name The ground beneath you Calls out for holiness It thirsts for water Your tears are sustenance Awakening to what? The endless pursuit of “The Path” Plays with your mind and heart Is there a destination Or is the Divine resorting to trickery? Slow down And savor the duality There is […]

Don’t shut down for too long
Your story didn’t begin with you It began with those who came generations before you They survived trauma Fought for life Prayed for breath Pleaded for prayers Begged for mercy Waited for peace. They left footprints for you to follow Tears for you to wipe Stories for you to hear Courage for you to carry […]
It takes a child to raise a village.
To remember innocence lost To know what it is like to befriend another with kindness To play with reckless abandon until their cheeks hurt from laughing. It takes a child to believe in the goodness of others To taste life before they learn about survival To dance until their legs give way to Mother earth […]
Those thoughts that keep your mind spinning
The ones that make you doubt yourself Unlove yourself Hold yourself in such unworthiness That many times you can’t even breathe. Those are the same thoughts that keep you alive Give you moments of deep breath between the shallow ones Give you possibility, choice, damn it, yes choice To step outside your mind That intense […]
They chose you.
Every ancestor who dropped to their knees in fervent prayer Whispering the stories of your birth, your mother’s birth before you, and her mother’s before her. They scraped the shards of glass from every burden Held every tear in their wombs, soothed every scar into softness Waiting for a moment of grace to sing their […]

Softer, gentler, and safer within the deepest crevices Of your mind. A world where the unknown invites you to frolic Along rivers of stars illuminating the skies, pressing intimately Against heaven’s doors, pulsing with each breath Taken by the moon as it inhales a deep sense of gratitude For a life filled with possibility. Imagine […]
I wish I could tell you that you will always feel safe.
I wish I could promise that you will never feel alone. I won’t embellish life’s challenges by assigning responsibility to spiritual trappings to help you feel relieved. I can’t tell you that you won’t be in survival mode more than once in your life. I can’t make life pretty for you, because many times it’s […]
Memorial Day
We remember you. Warriors of grace Clothed in soldiers attire Still walking the earth from beyond the veil Protecting life with flesh and soul Unable to recognize when war is over Your sacrifice became our freedom Your tears became our earth. I still hear your battle cry between the realms For some of you the […]
Most tears are fertile in a
Womb deemed barren By centuries of confusion and despair Where love and hate diffuse themselves Amidst the sun and stars And a sullen earth pleads for a gentler heart to Mend its wounds. A simple moment of gratitude Please bestow upon brethren An intimacy you are frightened of A loneliness shared amongst the many Whose […]
Her celestial countenance appeased the darkness to such a depth that even the abyss became confounded in regards to its true nature.
How can beauty thrive in such chaos?The abyss wondered incessantlyAdmonishing any semblance of grace peering through the darkness.It grew tired of the struggle scorching its soul,thoughts woven in between shame and anger,An emptiness filled with such isolationFear becoming its constant companion. But the beauty still breathed life.It eternally breathed hope.It breathed a gentleness that gave […]
