Mother’s Day For The Motherless.

Today I bow with deep heart-spilling-over thanks to my sisters who mother me. The women, who -- like me -- have no mamas to turn to. The women who hold me up when I need to be held, who listen completely when I need to be witnessed... the women who know how to nurture this motherless mother, ...

The Sweet Side Of Rejection.

I think passionate people may be some of the most prejudiced people. We live in a culture where being jaded, bored and not caring is the ultimate in coolness. If you like someone, don’t ask him/her out... no, wait at least 4-5 days. We are trained to be emotional minimalists. Caring is ...

Away From Home. {fiction}

“Where are you going?” she asks. Mark looks into the darkness in front of him; the bright road lines on the highway are clear only for a few feet in front of the truck before they disappear into the night. “Same place you are,” he answers, and he just keeps driving.

When You Smile. {poetry}

My bloodstream is full of your smile, Like Ichor in god’s veins. It pumps into my heart to bring life to every corner of my body.
