Meditations on Meditation [Video]

August 21, 2024May 22, 2024 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

Reflections on meditation.

Cultivating compassion. Practicing Mindfulness. Living sober.
These are all things I aspire to bring into my daily life.
When the moment comes to meditate, I resist and distract.
When compassion is needed, I often choose frustration.
Why do I still think about drinking after six months sober?

Rhyme Zone Dot Com [Video]

August 15, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

I hate rhyming in my 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?

Dwindling Attention [Video]

August 7, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

A random journal entry, testing out new microphone set up. I like the audio results but it takes SOOO much more time.

I find the encouraging comments on my videos
very motivating and heartening that in my
meager content I'm still connecting with people.

A Morning Lullaby [Video]

August 5, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

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.

Breathe Now [Video]

I need to meditate instead of writing about mindfulness.

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

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.

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.

Space Between Lines [Video]

July 17, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

The never ending obsession with finding something that feels better.

A sniffle and postnasal pull.
Focus forced to pass the time,
It only ever extends the day to seem longer than before.

Snap Shots with a Camera [Video]

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

Snap Shots taken with a DSLR camera, forever preserving the past.

Open. Close.
Fractions of a second.
Light in. Flash out.
A scene set in rolling stone.

My ADHD Meditations [Video]

July 4, 2024April 24, 2024 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

Luckily, meditation is about noticing the inevitable distractions, not about learning to focus better.

It’s not about learning to have better focus but instead, it’s about learning when we’ve already become distracted and gently returning back to our intentions.

To be alive is to succeed, Be free from needless suffering.

Accept this, and be free from needless suffering.

Childish Wonder [Video]

May 20, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

I desire to live each moment in childish wonder.

I endeavor to live my life through the eyes of a toddler, ,
constantly amused and learning everything new for the first time;

Horrible Ghost [Video]

May 15, 2024May 19, 2025 ~ Inspiracy Now ~ Leave a comment

A poem describing the anguish of monotony.

A putrid mist of devilish self-hatred
floating about aimlessly, hungry for
anything and everything to change
what I’m feeling deep inside myself.

A Brand New Car [Video]

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

Where do I find the energy to get through the day?

How do I become a new car, primed to drive
One hundred thousand miles off the parking lot?
That's the journey I crave.
