Imagine all of humanity
as a single tree
Majestic and so strong
Standing there amidst furies
Now imagine splintering it
piece by piece by
piece so many pieces
of what was once
whole unified in tact
with one sole purpose
growth towards the sun
But now each splinter
having its own identity
and pervasive selfish purpose
has all but forgotten
what strength it had
when bound to others
choosing its weakness instead
God gave us similarities
We ripped us apart

I first started writing this blog as a way to refocus my thinking after a debilitating mental breakdown in 2008. Having been educated in writing, I had hoped that my love for words would have left a trail for me to follow and, well, here we are.

When I know who
I am is when
I hear another say
good morning for it
is then that I
know we have made
it to another day
a destination of life
and isn’t that marvelous
A successful life is not an accumulation which is to be tallied but an amalgamation which is to be celebrated.

Perhaps we think but
never really know who
we truly are until
we ask someone else
Oh I know well
the labyrinth the maze
that we stumble through
trying to decide who
we are but perhaps
we will never know
Next time you find
yourself trapped inside your
mind ask your friends
to blow their whistles
of love and follow
their sounds for only
the sounds of friendship
can tell you who
you are to another
NotWhatButWho
It’s not what you
are or have ever
been or hope or
promise to be all
that matters to anyone
is who you are
whenever and wherever you
are there are far
too many what’s in
the world as many
what’s as corn kernels
So rather than being
one of what be
only one of who
for who is seldom
if ever truly forgotten
