Life takes many turns. Around every corner there is a surprise; an opportunity, a dead end, an old friend, a new love, catastrophic happiness or an outpouring of grief.

These turns change us. They create for us new boundaries, knock down old walls, send us into fits of rib breaking laughter or square out shoulders against the world.

They mold our character. Define our vocabulary. They shape our perception of the world and create for us, truth.

Everyday we find something new, or it finds us. A new word, a fresh scar, a beautiful smile. The seamlessness is perfection.

We exist, live, & collide in a world full of random chance, manipulation & mindful grace.

We obsess, are naked & occassionally drown in possibility.

We wake each day, both blessed & cursed by a fate we know not.

GOOD MORNING!

I want adventure.

I want to jump head first.

I want to travel the four corners of the earth.

I want someone to share it with.

I need to laugh.

I need my family.

I need good friends.

I need to dream.

I want the truth.

I want to be inspired.

I want direction.

I want to find myself.

I need to scream.

I need to cry.

I need passion.

I need to be free.

I don’t know much,

But I know this…

I know that magic is all around us.

That real passion is beautiful to behold.

And love can last forever.

I know that the destination is never as important as the journey.

That there is joy in being present.

And finding yourself is not as easy as it sounds.

I know that everyone has something to offer.

That one person can change the world.

And all opinions are relevant.

I know that talk is cheap.

That truth is sacred.

And all answers need to be questioned.

I know that good friends are a blessing.

That hope can be found in a strangers smile.

And “Hello” can be a life altering word.

I know that tears can be liberating.

That strength is found in compassion.

And forgiveness is freedom.

I know that there is power in recognizing your soul.

That laughter is the sound of God’s heart.

And we are never truly alone.

I don’t know much,

But I know this.

Lay your tired bones next to mine.

Rest your head on my breast.

Ours will be the sleep of the dead.

Your breath on my skin.

My hands in your hair.

Restful…Peaceful.

The sleep of tired lovers exhausted by delight.

Lay here with me until this moment passes,

And we become ourselves again.

Separate in mind.

Alone in body.
