Mold me like ceramics fingertips carving into cold clay. Anything is possible. Mold me like a story words creating the view my eyes see. Highlighting the blues and forgetting the rays of sunlight. Mold me like an opinion an experience dictating choices, I haven't made yet. Sweet wisdom passed down from generation to generation. Mold... Continue Reading →

Entitled Wisdom
Sometimes we seem to think that answers are a given. When actually, we hear whispers of truth formed out of nothing but thin air. The wind travels slow though the leaves flutter violently.

Shh…
Don't let the moment pass... Let your heart beat. Let your lungs fill with air and taste every spec of dirt you have lifted. Dance in the rain. Let the drop fill the soil and build a forest full of strong trees. Color the dark with shapes. Battle your monsters, let shadows dance their dance,... Continue Reading →
