Welcome to my Nightmare

The visceral scream- perhaps you have heard it; you are lucky if you have not. The hours sometimes draw out like years. One gets lulled into a sense of security; but, the thought that anything might happen can never quite go away. Then you hear the snap of the speaker, which is soon followed by the...

Having It All

A voracious appetite rarely leaves one sated, and often determines the nature and quality of choices made- despite the unwanted outcomes. Is it possible to have it all, without giving all away in the process? There exists a fine line between losing and gaining. Sign in to see full entry.

One's Enemies Afford The Greatest Lessons

Attack them, and their reason for coming has been spurned; avoid them, and an offering of inner healing has passed yet again; For, our enemies are convenient scapegoats for our own transgressions, and they are more easily martyred than listened to. Does growth occur through avoidance, or attendance?... Sign in to see full entry.

At-one-ment

The future cannot resolve what the past has done, simply because it lives as a phantom resurrected; The problem appears to lie in the manner in which it happened, and who was involved; yet, the one who insists upon keeping it alive is unwilling to claim authorship. Is not the power to resolve... Sign in to see full entry.

Rate of Absorption

Water falling too quickly upon the earth merely runs off, leaving a barren soil bereft of nutrients behind; Yet, a slow trickle over time leaches down through the hardest rock, gathering sustenance and purifying itself as it settles in the darkened depths; Is time spent in quiet contemplation lost;...

The Hollow Sphere

More from the deceased Judge David Patterson Hatch: 'You must know that there are many hells, and they are mostly of our own making. That is one of those platitudes which are (sic) based on fact. Desiring one day to see the particular kind of hell to which a drunkard would be likely to go, I sought... Sign in to see full entry.
