Life is better when I stay in my lane As Byron Katie says again and again.. When I don’t…..I cause great pain To those around me and my own domain I get resentful and start to complain I tend to over do and overstrain In how I work and think At the gym I overtrain I even tend to over explain […]

Everyone needs a place to live
Everyone needs a place to live This is a most human and humane objective It’s actually an imperative If we truly want what’s best for the collective It’s not radically progressive Nor is it simply a utopian perspective Having a place to live Is a necessity thats not only cognitive But also one that is […]
You don’t need to rip up the entire sweater
I have been itching for a change lately. Needing to switch things up. My tendency when life feels stale is to freshen it up-in a BIG way! My thought process tends to be that there is something wrong here. Or…There is something wrong with me. Something needs fixing. Oftentimes that includes me.

Catastrophic Moulting
