 | This is hard for me because I find happiness in the middle of being sad. While whaling out I'll snort a certain way and end up laughing at myself or I'll see an act of mercy so kind I’ll forget the despair. Life is ocean, a wave moving constantly, each change is an emotion, a feeling, an experience. This is happiness to me. Definitely not a place to chase because, yes that is elusive. more »1 month ago | View |
 | I did not grow up with my birth father because he was afraid to be the kind of father his father was to him. My dad is an angry drunk when he drinks, and I only know this because he told me his stories. Only my oldest brother out of us four kids knows our dad’s anger personally. I love your poem. It is raw and beautifully written. I like a drink every now and again myself, but as you may have guessed from my poem, Cracked Blame, I played with a different poison. My mom tried everything under the sun. Shooting heroin was her favorite. In just the last year I thought I would try smoking everything she tried just to see why. Lol. I have not touched anything for about month and I know I will stay that way. I am happy to understand her a lot better. She passed in 2013 from a heart attack. She was clean five years prior. I have my whole family worried. And one can’t play with fire or will burn. more »1 month ago | View |

 | Thank you dear. I love your comments just as they are. I summited this a day or two after we met here. I did not explain myself in this one, did I? It is about my awakening to the monster within. I was naïvely happy before I realized there was not much to be happy about at that conjuncture in my life. Reality had a way of slapping me into perspective. I am very greatful to the Devil, I am. ;) more »2 months ago | View |

 | Over the years I have had to work hard to come to peace with my saftey, my salvation. I must reason through reality to find peace. I have come to appericate the seen moments in my everyday life. Part of my purpose is to show and share the beauty of our perfection as we are now, just by being authentically who we are, funny though, it is ever changing. more »2 months ago | View |
 | “….Earth offered herself to the callings of my truest sense of being “I have been too unconscious for my own awareness….” “…my mind has been a misstep upon slippery slopes” Beautiful. Just beautiful. I feel your words deeply, and yet I can’t clearly see the message. It’s like being surrounded by a pleasant mist that allures one to keep seeking the answer. more »2 months ago | View |
