Dear Aunt Sandy,
Thank you for loving the family more than we could understand. I am proud to bear your name and sorry I could not hold your hand as you passed. We find peace in knowing wherever you rest is surely better than where you waked. You are loved by those still here and those with our ancestors. The gift of your life and death has and will change everything. I thank you for that and...

My Hometown Shouts About Strange Things
Here is the statement made by the senior pastor of the largest and most powerful Church in Jacksonville: First Baptist Church (‘downtown’ is the informal designation given to differentiate from all the other First Baptists around).
Not surprisingly FBC was very vocal in the cause against an anti-discriminatory bill up in City Council that would expand the city’s human rights...

Free-Fall
There was an earthquake last night that I completely slept through. It would have been my first.
As a child I slept through a fire alarm right outside my bedroom door….lame that I sleep through the life threatening moments.
While I’m sad to have missed it, I think this means I’ll die in my sleep, though my prayer is for a free fall death or death by g-force (when I’m very...

Short Scene
In a landfill of film and vaseline I make my depart. I float over the range, not fly-there is no strain. Floating as a helium filled bladder of a soul. Two small girls are shooting skeet. They see me float and take their scurry -except hide in the bushes and aim from there.
Their sweet, little savage natures, dressed in ribbons and lace shine through with honest ubiquity. Both aim high her piece...

Jimmy friends
Funnier things have happened Life gets a bit sappier We prune our own nuts and berries Sweet syrups of life, we draw on our own.
The dramatics, the calculus Restricted to outlines and rosters I want you to hold me when I’m not causing Anything or anyone to move.
Hold my body - speak to me In that gentle, fighter’s tone You make me never want to be alone As scary as that feels Teach...

This is how I qualify my Heart
Shrinking text. MS DOS. One computer for 25 kids. Breathing hardly, of this I’m convinced I haven’t felt this way since.
Never has the aortic nerve tensed and pulsed In a way to science doesn’t make sense. That artwork you couldn’t tell your parents to which you were drawn; Bodies out in the dark.
I know my heart and it’s wilder than yours Not that it matters, I...

My Stay in Venice Beach
This is my last night house sitting in Venice Beach and I was quite a bit sad when she told me she was coming home early.
The puffy square quilted comforter lays over the bed; the (I’m intelligently guessing) Peruvian fabric flitters in the light wind accompanying the rain. Yes, it’s raining in Los Angeles. One of the few times in the year, and it’s raining when I’m...

The Two Wolves
yesterdaysown:
An old Cherokee told his grandson:
“My son, there’s a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is evil. It has anger, jealousy, greed resentment, inferiority, lies and ego. The other is good. It has joy, peace, love, humility, kindness and truth.” The boy thought about it and asked: “Grandfather, which wolf wins?” The old man replied: “The one you feed”

Shhh...Change Now!
Yes, I’m a fan of change. I decided this long ago and I’ve stuck by it ever since.
Lately I have taken to changing my diet - whole foods, plant based diet; my friends - reconnecting with former ones and letting go of ones with whom I don’t jive (awesome sentence); listening - this is a trying one for me…
I’m a talker.
I’ve been accused on multiple occasions...

Tiny Little Gloves: Strikeforce: Tate vs Rousey:... →
tinylittlegloves:
Possibly the biggest compliment I can pay Miesha Tate after this weekend’s fight is that I didn’t even blink when she had her elbow bent in half like a pipe cleaner.
You, gentle reader, might argue that I’ve simply become desensitized to limb-bending from all the Youtube videos I watch…
