Family Values
Sold on a cheapskate cheesing. Cupcaked' by a cheesecake reasoning. Kids, plenty for the Cakewalk. Kids, plenty to play Hopscotch. Kids, plenty of energy goes Non-stop. Disparaging remarks marked up by the Loudmouth loosened by fool-proof Foul Alchohol percentages. It's far too soon to start with those Remarks. Gliding by. Hiding behind our Rollercoaters' ropes. Ready to Ride, Side by Side, Since this high. Goodbye. Razor-sharp wit halved the delicate patience. Good...

Premium Member A Shrunken Head and Other Mysteries
In the book nook I found it— a face no bigger than my palm, leathered and silent, its eyes forever pressed shut against whatever it had seen. Grandma said a missionary friend brought it back from somewhere halfway around the world. On the dining room window sill, a dozen squat green strangers kept their spines to themselves— silent travelers from the Southwest when my dad was still...

Who I Am
How do you heal from your past? How do you change the events that formed you? I can’t forget my past, It will forever linger with me. Who I am is not who I was, And who I am is not who I want to be, I look in the mirror and think to myself, Is this really what people see? ...

Premium Member Made in God’s image
To discern the truth transcending space-time, befriending silence, we entered the void, where emptiness was filled with bliss beat’s chime, revealing soul’s light, pure and unalloyed. “The silence faded with a soft embrace”, leaving in heart love’s benign after-burn, that as God’s grace entwined us with vast space, our presence reached the point of no return. We saw our Self, shining as living...
