I've been catching on lately, something is becoming conscious that has trapped me in an unconscious loop for much of my life.

Grief strikes a knife directly through our heart, So striking, so sudden, we don't even know where to start.

There's something that doesn't feel right, When the folks on the megabus are primarily black, And the folks on the airplane are primarily white. Truth is staring me straight in the eye, Each seat of first class occupied by some rich, white guy. And YES, I want to see a way outside of right and... Continue Reading →
How does one live a meaningful life? I have a feeling as I sit to write this that this will not be the only article I write on the meaning of life, ha! The question above has stayed with me for many years, becoming like a shadow that follows me everywhere. And as I walk... Continue Reading →
