There are two types of people these days… You can either be Awake… Or you can be Woke. On the surface this seems like a generational difference in the way that newer generations will always come up with new phrases and sayings that stimulate the zeitgeist. Woke is one of those terms.

Value-able
Recognizing your own value can be either… As easy as breathing… Or a tough as steel. Though in the age of social medias many who find it easy don’t really even know how to breath. For me the steel category is home as I don’t place nearly enough value upon my skills and abilities thatContinue reading “Value-able”
Acts of Service
In the midst of the worst injury in my life I was asleep in bed when a text message sounds. My head pops up, I grab my phone and recognize through the foggy vision that my partner has gotten into a car accident on the way to the gym. She laments that she is justContinue reading “Acts of Service”

Cannibalism
Walking down the dreary hallway as the fluorescent lights hanging in their sockets by what only seems like the electrical current giving it enough juice to flicker. Nausea creeps up on you like a stalker. The faint sound of ripping, gnashing and slurping is heard down the hall. The smell of putrid regret inhabits yourContinue reading “Cannibalism”
Effortful Existence
I suppose this is a letter to myself, A painting on the cave wall, A tracking of ones mind in a given space of time, Being Constant is only so when you are conscious about it, And I intend on Being Constant. My partner wrote in her Blog Post “Effortful Maintenance” how to sustain aContinue reading “Effortful Existence”
Proud of It.
Hand crafted wooden rocking chair, finished in a patiently applied lacker which glazes the wood as if blow from glass. Customized cushion made from a swanky mattress company. Its beveled lumbar support from a steaming bending method of the wood. Etched into the side are all the ones you love in order of age. SittingContinue reading “Proud of It.”
