Fences were made to be climbed, an invitation, a whispered challenge of a dare. To step away from where life is manufactured through repetition. Whereas breaths are not so deep and mediated. Will the grass be greener? Step over and see. Regret is just a shadow, that fades with the sun. Mistakes are humans rulesContinue reading “Perceptual distortion”

Safe in Chains
Why do we try so hard to fit into a mold? Each of us carries a spark of uniqueness, yet we are told, conditioned, to believe there is one model of success, one shape of life we must aspire to. This is nothing but illusion, hogwash wrapped in authority. The “mold” is presented as security,Continue reading “Safe in Chains”
The flexibility of balance
The vessel re-shapes itself, consistently through knowledge and experience. It avoids hypocrisy, and knows that contradiction is not a fracture but a mirror, a lesson whispered back through time. It does not hunger for affirmation, for its existence is its own justification. Stop searching for symmetry. Life was never designed to balance. It was designedContinue reading “The flexibility of balance”
Palm tree
Palm trees that grow in the desert, their roots tangled in shifting sands, drinking from wells the eye cannot see, stretching upward with a faith that heat cannot break. Each frond whispers a defiance, green against the repetition of dust, shade against the tyranny of light, a soft, living hymn where silence reigns. They areContinue reading “Palm tree”
The road less traveled
A young man was murdered, assassinated, for nothing more than speaking, for daring to converse with those who disagreed. He leaves behind a wife and two young children, yet instead of mourning, many chose to celebrate his death. Social media filled with professional voices, teachers, doctors, engineers and others mocking his life, twisting his words,Continue reading “The road less traveled”
The architecture of transition
I honor what once protected me, and I bless what now frees me. So, brick by brick, I begin the work of independence. Each brick released, not wasted in anger, but representing a person who was an essential part of my life. Not rubble, not debris, but stones of memory and meaning. Wall built sheltering me fromContinue reading “The architecture of transition”
aka Charlie Sheen
I just finished watching the Charlie Sheen documentary, aka Charlie Sheen on Netflix, and I couldn’t help but wonder what his real motivation was for doing it. It starts with lots of super 8 footage of his childhood and little films he made with family and friends. Comparing the violence of his dad’s films toContinue reading “aka Charlie Sheen”
Charlie Kirk (1993-2025)
On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk, conservative activist, founder of Turning Point USA, husband, and father of two young children, was shot in the neck and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University. He was only 31. The shooter fired from a building roughly 200 yards away, and despite early reports, no suspect is currentlyContinue reading “Charlie Kirk (1993-2025)”
Ode to the Young
If life teaches us anything, as we are lucky enough to keep living, it is this, do not take anything for granted. The young cannot know the depth of that truth. They wear their five senses like armor, believing they will never dull. But time does its work. The food once rich with delight, becomesContinue reading “Ode to the Young”
Outrage for sale
It cracks me up watching people lose their minds over tariffs, because it’s Trump’s move, and they’d hate him no matter what. Donald Trump could hand them a million dollars and they’d still be foaming at the mouth. They scream about tariffs that haven’t even kicked in yet, but not a word about the bankContinue reading “Outrage for sale”
