“Hurt people hurt people” that’s what we say yet healing together seems so far away In loving forgiveness, grace may be found and the joy of connection exists all around within and between us the walls we have made may crumble and transform into paths that we pave with grateful remembering- we know who weContinue reading “A Poem for the New Year”

A Safe Place to Land
This post is titled, A Safe Place to Land, in tribute to the Sara Bareilles song from her album, Amidst the Chaos (2019). A stirring duet with John Legend, co-written by Lori McKenna, this four-minute song captures and connotes the urgency and ubiquity of humanity’s current situation and personalizes it in a way that resonatesContinue reading “A Safe Place to Land”

Our collective “situation” has merely made my interrogation of the topic somewhat moreContinue reading “If I should die, before WE wake…”
Dreams from Quarantine
I fall asleep on the couch each night while trying to watch some escapist film meant to help me lay down the weight of this infected world which was heavy enough before we released Coronavirus from the wild like a tiger we thought we could tame with loved ones I know and those I don’tContinue reading “Dreams from Quarantine”
