Dark Night of the Soul
You have to be careful when you ask questions. When you stare at the foundation of society, or looking back on your own life and doubt whether or not what you’ve been told is your authentic truth or if it’s an echo of something else, something sinister that provides temporary comfort but never satisfaction.

In the beginning...
In the beginning was the word. The passage known as the creation story in the Bible, existence itself. The word as the beginning of everything. Infinite possibilities. It is what is.

Raging Bull
It's 8:00 A.M. The day starts off quiet. The sun rises over head, casting harsh light below. Everyone around you keeps their head down, not daring to make eye contact in or make too much noise. People silently curse the sun for shining so brightly today - no one wants to be seen. Not wanting to draw any attention to themselves.

Libelula
Tiptoeing across the rocky, dirt path. Moon shining bright overhead, illuminating the streets...serving as a warning to anyone who's tempted to start mischief.

Death by chocolate
Get it together. Make a to-do list. Write an e-mail. Schedule a meeting. But also, stop by engineering to fix your laptop. Wait, but first get a cup of coffee now because you won't have time later in the day. No, that's not a good idea, you're under deadline. Oh, and at some point you have to stop by your boss' office to drop off receipts.

Gray clouds hovered over the horizon, relaying a message,"We're on our way." Although slow moving, the smell of rain also promised their arrival.

Orbits
You watch from your hospital bed, eyes analyzing the scene in front of you. Nurses take turns checking in on you - walking in and out with their shoes squeaks signaling they're near.

Catalyst
It's hot. And humid. Your legs feel swollen after running seven miles. Your stomach feels a little off. You realize you shouldn't have taken the last few sips of the energy drink that was sitting in your car.

Drift
A lone cloud brings a small trickle of rain. You wait under a hut as it passes. You're traveling from one end of the island to the other, bringing with you fruits your mother's mother. She's too old to walk across the sand, so you make sure she doesn't have to.

Meditations on the ocean
Morning sun seems a bit sleepy. The summer tint of the skies overhead make you feel a bit lazy. Hazy in the brain. You stretch. Head to the nearby grocery store. Pack turkey. Water. Grab coffee from the in-house coffee shop. You tell the barista your order. You apologize because it's a bit complicated, but that's okay.

Skinny
It's Monday morning. You wake up at 5 AM. Head to the gym. Run three miles. Lift weights. You have no energy but you need to be skinny.
