SIDEWAYS EIGHT PROJECTS

If you can’t see the forest for the trees, and you can’t see the forest through the trees, then please come sit by me. We can discuss poetry in the breeze and tease words together until we think lack of wordplay is some sort of disease. I see your light shining through. Please come share it with me.

Forbidden fruit,

and forbidden flowers,

looking cute,

with darkened powers.

Scoffed at, inside your own head, releasing the strain of the day. Closing your eyes and smiling wide may just make the pain go away.

As we travel this long and winding road toward an unknown destination, let us be mindful of the fact that others experience loss, others struggle, others worry, others feel inadequate on a daily basis, and others don’t even have the time to breathe and think of these things. They are too busy simply trying to survive.

As your hands keep moving,

be mindful of the sickle,

which assesses growth,

and responses to the light we’ve received.

For there is a knowing beyond proving,

and a feeling beyond a tickle,

which professes an oath,

wanting to fight for what is believed.

Mark 4:29

When we are rolled in the wave of existence, shot out tired, gasping, wanton of air, we remember what it was to breathe easily, and reminisce.

If good things come in threes and bad things do as well, how can we flourish, how can we dream, and how can we even tell? For I’ve heard the hardest workers among us are lucky, and I’ve heard that gratitude grows exponentially. These trinitys of experience that shape us often reveal themselves before the wave hits. Here’s to riding the wake of existence on the way to education that cannot be easily replaced. Cheers to finding the blessings in the losses, and the challenges in the peaks. Kiss the universe hello for me. I’ll be right back.

You were there for me when no one else was, and I am there for you if no one else is. You are who is and who was, and who is to come, and my hearty soul can rest in this.

When I had nothing to my name, and it seemed as though burdens would never cease, it was then you revealed, then when you came, providing me both release and peace.

It is easy to find following with the world in hand, and simple to have attention when the weather is fair. For when the world turns coldly dark, and I don’t understand, I owe you all I have and more for being there.

Rev. 1:5-8

The hillsides are painted with colors that will not be forgotten. Hidden between rocks are the echoes of stories told beside flickering flames. And when life conspires, through individual voices, to make things rotten, we need to take stock and remember their names.
