Protected: Behind My Fingers [REBOOT]

I Let Myself [Video]

September 24, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

I wish I hadn't done that.

I let myself feel passion,
unknowingly becoming vulnerable.
I let myself feel hope,
unaware it would cause hurt.

Someone Else [Video]

September 18, 2024May 23, 2024 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

What would it be like to be someone else?

I must look different than I feel inside.
My long hair must look like a symbol of rebellion (instead of laziness).
My tight shirt and baggy pants, a symbol of class (and not my forgetting to do the laundry).

Resistance is Futile [Video]

September 14, 2024May 23, 2024 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

No one can escape the passage of time.

Even the most fearful avoidance of the
future’s arrival fails to remove its approach;
resistance is futile.

Neurofeedback Meditation [Video]

September 10, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

Poetic reflections after a neurofeedback session.

Hesitation holds my hands immobile at the lack of planned direction.
Taps from tips of fingers on keys, this new flow of script plays like a
first piano lesson: slow, forced, and without rhythm.

Static of Synapse [Video]

August 27, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

A poem on mindful observation of self and the present reality.

I think, therefore I am.
Cognition grants reality to forces
Of mortal temperament and the
Senses securing them to this world.
Only reflection can reveal existence’s
Grace in a plane of such material nature,
Eternally crafting external context
For the memoirs of its course…

Rhyme Zone Dot Com [Video]

August 25, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

A silly poem I wrote about hating the confines of using rhymes in poetry.

Creativity strains to push these words,
I fear my muse has gone with the birds,
to fly away and hide from me.
Tell me, God, what’s this blasphemy
that my pen is forced to write in rhyme?
I’d call it childish any other time.

Legs Wrapped in Blankets [Video]

August 11, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

A bored anxious night with insomnia.

Finding a home in the trivial moment,
I sit and accept each thought and second,
each one passing into the next.
So what if frustration graces my mood?

At Least For Now- Part 2 [Video]

August 9, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

Part 2 of "At Least for Now"

So at least for now, I am loved.
At least for now, I am worth it.
At least for now, I can say I'm giving myself a shot.
Words are powerful and so are stories.

A Morning Lullaby [Video]

A lullaby I wrote for my insomnia-assed brain.

... make it or give up.
Can all this really be enough?

A Quiet Blessing [Video]

August 3, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

A brief exercise in senses and meditative silence.

This moment holds a pleasant scene of silent love,
and security shared passively in each other's arns,

Sit and Breathe [Video]

August 1, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

I have to remember to calm the mind and settle on the breath.

I struggle greatly to remain equanimous and centered in life...
but if I have the capacity to sit still and meditate, I have a chance at peace.

I need to meditate instead of writing about mindfulness.

It's time to put down the pen and breathe.

Shut Off the Television [Video]

July 28, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

I can't THINK my way into insight. I can only clear a space for it.

I want to shut off the television and listen to the birds sing.
Maybe then I can find that inner peace I've
been missing all these years stuck in my head.

Reality Isn’t Broken [Video]

July 26, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

I fail to see reality as it really is all the time.

Instead of a present mind,
I've settled for a spacey one lately,
always subject to a slight elusive displeasure.

Me in Four Words [Video]

July 24, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

I always want more NOW! Why can't I listen to my mature thoughts?

My sorry reality is stuck to pay the price
for childish impatience and impulsivity.
Such has always been my life.

Varsity Status [Video]

July 18, 2024November 15, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

The vain status symbol of Varsity and how I jealously wish I made it.

So we're at the same game, but sitting on the bench.
I'm ready to play, just let me keep these training wheels,
I can't just let go as easily as I once believed i could.

Alley Side Acknowledgment [Video]

July 12, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

Winter brings such gentle chaos: a calm calamity that cleaves the air
With drifting snowfall and the dissipating ghosts of our every breath.

it's hard to shake hands when they're
buried deep in the warmth of coat pockets.
A turned-collar nod of the head, then, br /> becomes status quo for the season's greeting.

Tu Me Connais [Video]

June 30, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

My 7th grade class had meetings on Bullying, but people thought It wasn't affecting me... It hurt.

"What about kids like Drew?
He doesn't care, he smiles and laughs,
Surely he isn't hurt!"
She spoke up against them for me,
"You don't know that!"
They sure know about me now.

There was almost something special about hearing Kent play Guitar. It brought internal silent peace.

I want to close my eyes and hear
; my brother play guitar at night,
the way he used to in high school…

I'm sick of always acting the fool, but perchance I'll find a better footing.

I wish to leave the page filled up to the end with clever, compassionate wisdom, but I bumble and folly like a fool in motley,
driveling conversations sounding from the bells on my cap

The Beginner’s Mind [Video]

June 14, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

" The beginner's mind is a state of childlike wonder that brings new perspective to your day-to-do mundane activities. It is a highly recommended mindfulness practice.

In basic mindfulness, they speak of the “Beginner’s Mind.”
A child-like fascination with everything around you which
Causes you to pay more attention to things we would call “mundane.”
