Welcome New Year 2016

This year will be a great one. I know it. I can feel it. Not great in accomplishments or some new milestones. It’ll be great because I don’t want any “big” thing. I just want my family.  I want to…

Memory Lane

Recently, I became more acquainted with this eighteen years old high school girl. Her life story, like everyone else’s, is unique. She enjoys writing about it, and mostly expresses her thoughts through short poems and journal entries.  She shared them with me… “To love…

Ordinary is visionary. Beauty in motion. Life on Earth. Energy in synchrony. Universal “us.”  Intimate touch seduces the senses. Now… Now…Now… The silence is loud and bold. Silence is the messenger. What do you hear? Close your eyes. What do you feel? Vibration of every…

Audience

Most writers consider an audience when putting words on a page. Whatever the piece might be, they think about the reader, and how they might interpret the message. However, my audience was never anyone in particular.  When writing I express my inner…
