Current mood: curious

I will be the first to say that I am not a huge follower of politics at large. I don’t do tons of discussion about it. I’m just not a quick thinker so I like to mull over info slowly and chew lightly until I really [...]

For my autistic, down syndrome friend
Current mood: blessed
Emily, I wonder what goes through that pretty head
You look up at me and won’t say a word
Emily, big brown eyes and coal black hair
Just to feel my skin you take my hands in yours
Bang the table, hands flap, pages fly,
Watching you just freezes [...]

When you are hit with the blues for some reason
Inexplicably

Temporarily
In the arms of dear authors
Sensibly
For the stable sage wisdom of their words
Perhaps for peace you cling
Desperately
To the [...]

If you were here
Right now
What would I say?
I would say something
Witty to make you laugh
I love to make you laugh
If you were here
Right now
What would we do?
I would brew you a cup
Of tea because you like it
And I like being with you
If you were here
Right [...]

I didn’t write this but I am in awe of it. Thought it wise to share.
Words
Be careful of words,even the miraculous ones.For the miraculous ones we do our best,sometimes they swarm like insectsand leave not a sting but a kiss.They can be good as fingers.They can be trusty as the rockyou stick your bottom on.But [...]

I love the Nouwen Society. Henri J. Nouwen is one of my favorite writers. This came in an email to me this week.

I can’t remember the first time that I read anything by Madeleine L’Engle. But I would imagine that it was A Wrinkle in Time like most people. I do however remember vividly when I fell in love with Madeleine L’Engle’s writing. I read that same book aloud [...]
