the heart of life is good
Not to rip off a John Mayer song, but this line has been repeating in my mind a lot lately and carries a lot of truth to me. There have been times when I am so overwhelmed with stress that I lose sight of the hope that is ever present. No matter what, it seems the heart of life really is good and that I can always find my way back to those serene moments when I can say it with conviction.

“The more I think it over the more I feel that there is nothing more artistic...”
– Van Gogh
sitting face to face
and i’m trying to construe the view
when you wear that gaze
with bedroom eyes and whirling minds
lips dripping with insight
still, I’m conversing with a blind
man
what do i do with a heart that feels...
and a head that could stop it but instead looks down with a sly grin. The mind’s will often betrays the heart’s, but what happens when the heart and the mind are on the same page and just aren’t telling each other?

you are not your talents
You know those moments when you are so soaked in self doubt that all you want to do is whine about it to your friends and have them assure you that everything’s going to be okay and that you’re really not all that awful of a human being? Those moments are really quite selfish, yet we all do it and perhaps we need to at times. I am guilty. Something that has always bothered me though...

hope is a thing with feathers
Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all And sweetest in the Gale is heard And sore must be the storm That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm I’ve heard it in the chillest land And on the strangest Sea Yet, never, in Extremity, It asked a crumb of Me.

now we get to begin again, kids
Enjoying the fact of a new day. Walking away from what shadows lurk behind me, and into a new light. Today we begin again, and every day for that matter. One of the greatest gems of life.

be
Instead of worrying about what to do, be. Instead of seeking out, be the thing that you seek. You have a purpose and whatever you need to accomplish it is in your hands. If it’s not in you, you don’t need it.

I’m in a good season of growth, learning, and change right now. I’m experiencing new - and it’s so refreshing. But now that I’m in...
