The draw of contentment

Laying upon sheets 

Contentment flows within 

The world’s demands 

Speak oh so loudly 

Eventually I must heed 

This siren’s call 

Order from Chaos 

Order from chaos
A key part of what it means
To be a human


Oh, chaos stresses me so. A important struggle for me as I thrive in order. Systems are my goal, I guess. Or at least they’re my ally. 

Do you love women, or just vaginas?

For so many men
The claim they love women
Means they’re fond of vaginas
And they miss so very much

Of what it means to
Connect with others and
Understanding love

For a vagina
Is only a small piece
Of what it means
To be woman

This Morning’s #Haiku: Defining Sacrifice 

Sometimes sacrifice
Simply feels like the payment
For a greater life
A thought upon waking this morning. I hope your Sunday revitalizes you.


Career Meditation: Accepting what I don’t know 

Embracing my fear
Stepping into the unknown
So much I don’t know


I realized this morning how much I’ve struggled with my new job. I’m in a new industry and doing very different work.  And i’s been a long time since I’ve stretched myself like this. It’s been fearful, but good. I need to push myself forward. It’s far too easy to settle into easy, no risk, safe work. I need to push through that fear and keep growing, stay alive and vibrant.
