I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

Difficult times, frustrations, and upsetting days or events, the world keeps turning and the anger continues to burn.
It’s too easy to take it all personally. What you see or hear is often an affront to your sensibilities or dignity.
That’s okay, sometimes it takes outrage or offensive behavior to make you realize not only what is wrong, but where your morals or principles rest. You may also see the errors of your ways, and that will clear space for correction.
It’s okay to be angry, it leaves room for forgiveness.
Accepting your anger is the not most difficult task; forgiving yourself might be.

We exist
suspended between delay and
that future we are told
is ahead of us. Little advances humanity.
We rush too much, as if it is demanded.
Each of us controls our pace,
or attempts to.
We are here,
bounded by missed connections
and unfortunate
misunderstandings. Nostalgia is not often
favorable. Blind curiosity. We fail to recognize
where we are.
We seek faith.
We do have
the communal capacity, but resist
assistance or the
temptation. Recycling our sins, striving to
keep up with the morally reprehensible,
we try to find
our own Jesus.

The words of even
a casual acquaintance
can influence
our direction and ability
to reclaim our lives.
It needn’t be more
than a brief conversation.
Communication is
the greatest form
of intimacy.
