A few days ago, someone left a comment on Unbundling Myself Slowly.

Empty and Excited

I finished a meeting tonight and closed my laptop.

The Noise I Call Thinking

Sometimes I tell myself my mind is busy.

A few years ago, I believed that important things would always come back around.

What Did I Miss?

A few days ago, someone pointed out something I had walked past several times. It had been there in plain sight. I simply had not noticed.

Unbundling Myself, Slowly

Sometimes I wonder if I am thinking too much, or if this is just what it means to be human in a world that never really pauses.

There is a strange violence in being understood too quickly.

The Appetite for Good Things

There is a strange guilt society places on desire.

When You Are Hearing

Kay used to talk a lot.

One Lyric too Fast

Some mistakes arrive like thunder.

Just Say the Words

Some people carry entire storms quietly.
People who show up every day with tired eyes, rehearsed smiles and responsibilities hanging from their shoulders like wet clothing in harmattan rain.

I Have Decided to Change

I have decided to change.

My Heart is Full

Lately, my heart has been full in a way I cannot completely explain.

The Quiet Gift of Being Seen

There is something quietly beautiful about being seen.

The Mind Follows Direction

There is a reason two people can stand in the same place and walk away with completely different stories. 

Leave Room for Humanity

Some days, you are barely carrying yourself.

The Mercy Test

We are gentle with ourselves.

When Failure Speaks

Failure does not whisper. It lands.

Cutting the Diamond

There is a kind of writing that looks right on the page but never quite lands.

What You See Is What Grows

There is a quiet power in interpretation.
