Stream of Consciousness
Age
Take with wisdom and dignity the counsel of the years - If your able, If you possess true courage, And real wisdom. These are not the acts of heroism and princely tales. These are not the stories of which volumes will be written To be studied in leather bound books for centuries hence. It is instead to be utterly forgotten to mediocrity, to die before death takes us. And accept it with glee.

Harboring Happiness - Day 1
Today in harboring happiness, I idle on the front porch while a finch flitters through the resident pile of leaves littering my yard. The hounds huff at her rustling between cracks in the sagging, sunbaked fence. I wonder if she is nesting or scavenging for rootless seeds. Yet, happiness imagines she is playing hopscotch instead, as if even birds understand these silly little things need time and a place to exist.

A Kiss
What is a Kiss? It's more than the release of a need. It's more than a lust of the moment, more than a simple physical embrace. When two hearts are completely vurnerable and opened to one another, it is the locking of those two beats. Each other feeling the embrace letting it guide their actions and reactions. Thoughts both full and completely obliterated at the same time. Although time passes it resides outside of this embrace, imperceptible to them. External sounds and sensations are all muted and melded together into a single inconsenquential hum. While the awareness of self and partner are heightened to a magnitude that is so blissful the thought of separation seems painful in itself, like a tearing asunder of your own being.
