fragment

Transient as your heart may be home still must have a name your soul, a center to find peace  in the midst of orbit through the turbulence of this world I wonder what hope you find in flight the continual here and there coming and going pushing and pulling leaving and longing the parting, and then the next how do you keep yourself whole in passing, and what is home if it is not a place? I wanted to be gravity, to be constant but us, twilight in transit and you, always crossing stars a sparkle too elusive to align like an enigma shooting through the galaxy tranversing curiosity, I saw you celestial in the constellation of your being do you ever imagine what you must look like  to the stars and the moon the same ones you try to reach the same ones your radiance eclipses and if I could I would give you both but stardust is too mercurial so I hold this space wistful, unrequited as it may be love is still here even if it's not how I dreamed.

A New Season

It's been a long time. I've been thinking about bringing this blog back for a while. Now I'm finally doing it. And I think the maturation I've gone through over the past year or so will help me do this better. I was looking at my old posts and laughed a little bit because I noticed how immature I was back then, and I'm sure a while from now when I'm looking back at these posts the same thing will happen. I even considered taking those posts off if I was going to restart this blog, but decided to keep them, whether or not I disagree with some of the things I said, because it will be a way to see how God is working in my life and constantly growing me (if anyone is crazy enough to want to read back that far). I want to be more consistent with this than I was before. No excuses about time because we always have time for what we make time for. Plus, I have plenty of free time anyways. A few reasons for wanting to blog: I guess having this platform allows me to ha...
