Neglect
No hallmark of neglect, just an absence that smothers us. Invisible scars that taint every part of us. Musty scent of shame, a second skin to us. Parents incapable of unconditional love for us. A home lacking love, no boundaries to hold us. Parentified children, believed what was told to us. All our own fault,…

New Meaning
Do you really listen to the words that you hear? Are you paying attention, is the meaning clear? Does the mind rush ahead, a reply at the ready? Let each sentence be absorbed, metabolized slowly. Do I really listen to thoughts as they’re spoken? A struggle to make meaning when the filter is broken. So…

Privilege
The freedom of not knowing; Not having to know, Not wanting to know, Not needing to know. The luxury of “yes!” without hesitation, of “No” without repetition, choice without repercussion. To welcome the future with excitement and anticipation; honour the past with ceremony and celebration. Truly a gift to those that know. Use it wisely.

Ghosting
I saw your message I knew you’d reached out. I wanted to answer but was paralyzed by doubt. What do I say? no words within reach. I feel hypocritical – not practicing what I preach.

Here & Now
You can’t control the people around you. All you can do is work on yourself. Take some time to reflect and look inwards. You’re not responsible for anyone else. Observe, don’t absorb the energies around you. Take some time to protect yourself. Stay grounded and mindful of your own actions. Set an example for everyone…

Are there limits on you?
I get to be as free as I choose to be. Or do I really? Is that just a lie that I tell myself? Of course I’m free to be me! But am I really? Is that just another lie that I tell myself? What if I stopped telling myself these lies? Then where would…

Can we talk?
How dare you call me, then talk all about you? Have you learned nothing after all we’ve been through? No questions or concern for my well-being. Just lies and self pity. expecting me to fix things. Do you ever stop, take a good look at yourself? Are you even aware of anyone else? Are you…

The Edge
Pause, Up close, At the edge of time. Stillness. Imagine a hand reach for mine. Soft kiss on the cheek, A scent comes to mind. Tugs my heart, a spirit to guide. Freeze this moment, This in between Heaven and earth, Seen and unseen. The before and after, what was, now a dream. Over and…
