My half of the planet
turns away from the sun.

A powerful wizard on a 
high cliff top cast a spell
that pulls the clouds into
a weather pattern


Don't be afraid to start
something because you don't
ever want it to end




Today is payday and I feel like I just passed go.

I find it waiting there for me

I feel torn between wanting to speak more, reaching more people,
and speaking less, saying more when I speak.

Everyone's Crazy in their own way.

Some words are useless but we use them anyway.

you can always find something better

another boring party on
another rainy day
someone suggests we
go for a walk to go
slide in the mud - an
excuse to leave
I deceide to go by 
myself, to walk out
on some rocks in the river
my feet stay dry. I find
a large black rock that looks
like a huge piece of coral. I
snap off a piece as if to
proove I've been here and turn to
head back.  Two steps
from the end - I need to
jump to the last rock that
I can barely see under the
surface of the water. I jump and I 
feel the icy wet snap 
against me like a dry twig
my feet haven't touched the
bottom but I'm floating OK

The coral rock was
black. It was big like
a tree and hard and
soft at the same time.
I lay against it
and felt its surface
waffle-like coral.
I leaned against it 
and it absorbed all my
pain. I broke off a piece
to prove where I've been, 
I knew that it
would grow back.




A Forest Full of Strangers

I remember the moment I first fell asleep
it was then that I lost everything I had wanted to keep.
I still retained the things I really need, but
My life went by with surprising speed.

Once the fish is caught

Economy of words - 
where each is so valuable and
 there are so many
 it's meaningless.
