Alpha. Sigma. Something marketable. As if men are brands. As if strength needs a logo. I don’t posture for rank. I don’t withdraw to appear mysterious. I don’t orbit the room. I don’t flee it either. I stand. Not loud. Not hidden. Just rooted. I don’t chase hierarchy. I don’t resent it. I accept responsibilityContinue reading “Sovereign”

California continues to push new housing. Unaffordable apartment complexes are opening all over Los Angeles, yet the homeless population keeps growing. The same old roads carry more and more people, but no meaningful road expansion or infrastructure improvement is happening. We keep building up, but we’re not building out, and the strain is starting toContinue reading “California Love”

Narcissism loses its head to the blade it engineered. I didn’t vote for Joe Biden, but I hoped he would do a good job. I didn’t wake up every day rooting for him to fail, because if a president fails, the country pays the price. I didn’t suffer from some kind of political derangement, wishingContinue reading “Narcissism loses its head to the blade it engineered”

At this stage of life, you’re not just looking for someone to pass time with, you’re looking for alignment. Chemistry. Shared rhythm. A sense of ease.

We rarely thank the sun for rising again, for warming the earth without preference or condition which keeps us alive.   We do not whisper gratitude to the moon as it traces silver pathways through darkness, quietly reminding us that even borrowed light has purpose. We seldom pause for the soil beneath our feet, forContinue reading “After Dogma”

TheContinue reading “The Quiet Power of Fear. Operation Covid-19, the persuasion, and the modern crisis of trust. “

The word love may be the most misunderstood word ever created. We confuse it with euphoria. With newness. With butterflies and dopamine. The tremble in the chest. The intoxication of discovery. The touch that creates electricity like no other. But that is only the beginning of love, not its depth. Euphoria fades. It always does.Continue reading “Happy Valentine’s Day”

Absolutely. Here it is with all hyphens removed and replaced with commas where appropriate, while keeping the cadence strong: There are Brothers who come and go. Who appear seasonally. Who show up when needed, or when in need. They are still Brothers. But what many do not see is this, Without a committed core, theContinue reading “The house that Solomon built ”

I’m not tribal. If someone who looks like you commits a crime and your first instinct is to defend them, you’re not moral, you’re afraid. Afraid that their guilt stains you. Afraid your identity can’t survive truth. If someone commits a crime, the facts don’t change because of melanin, gender, ideology, or history. I don’tContinue reading “I’m not tribal are you?”
