It’s 4 a.m. I should be asleep. Clearly I’m awake. Wide awake. My mind is racing constantly and I don’t know where to or from. I might be going a little crazy or perhaps every one in their right mind questions everything at different times. I wish I could have waited until I woke up to think. Night and morning are the quietest for me. It’s where my thoughts aren’t...
Let’s build a ship and push off to sea.
But where she used to say “I need you.” Now….”I don’t.”

I’m just a guy. I live in Oklahoma. I don’t own a pair of cowboy boots. I care too often what people think. I think too much and care too little. I am impulsive at times. I look for quick fixes. That is not the case always. Who I am is not found in what I do or do not do. It’s deeper than that. It comes from within. It’s like a path that you follow and you know it is home....

Anxious
Anxious
Thoughts jumbled, mixed up
Spinning in a circle
Heart beating out of my chest
So anxious
Try to stand up
Fall down
Twisting slipping
What is sleeping?
Anxious
Stomach knots
Crazy stop
So I can stop
Worried flurry
Fretting
Stacked
List piled
Things to do
Undo
Wash
Buy
Sell
Repair
Possess

Out of my mind

Talk talk or go for a walk
Walk maybe run

Avoidance is a type of conflict management in which a person withdraws from a situation assuming the problem will go away. It doesn’t work. In fact it creates more distance and harm than good. I’ll sit and wait though..
Reach
I’ve met my reach
It’s shorter than I thought
Less fantastic than I dreamed
Disappointing to say the least
Of course I’m changing
Every man alike
But the pace is a noose,
At times
Home, at others
Always forward
With too much pressure
Every thing will crack and crumble
Oh I can feel it
Yet at any given moment
The most I can be
Is me
It’s okay. I’m a lifeguard.

Peace
I have a peace that surpasses all understanding in the midst of my most difficult trial. The Lord is a strong tower. He is faithful. He is good. He is risen!

One Day
One day when I does not exist
Only we
Two, but one
Love of the Father
The glue that holds us
Keeps us as we wait
I whisper sweetly
(Forgetting to breathe)
All the lovely things
(Though not as lovely as you)
Exhale slow
Breathe in deeply
Your smell, intoxicating
Yes, one day
(One day awakened by love)
I’ll gently lift your veil
Softly kiss your lips, mine
Ours
You and I, we...

Sunny with a chance of natural disasters
Life as we know it can change in an instant. Change is inevitable but growth is a choice. When situations and people hurt you and let you down, relax. If you have breath left in your lungs, you have the capacity to live. In Ecclesiastes Solomon says that there is a time for every emotion. It’s natural to react to situations and it’s a blessing. So many people live with dead hearts and...
