do not forget the strength in righteous rage

life has gifted me so much experience i'll never run out of writing material. is that not a blessed way of looking at it?

― Frank O'Hara, Selected Poems

heart beaming with gratitude.

never underestimate the power in authenticity.

Bob Kaufman

remember to allow yourself to sit in all the evidence around you that you are living in prayers answered.

we must take ownership of our lives. things won't improve if we project every thing gone awry as someone else's fault. take ownership and accountability and witness the inevitability of your life changing for the better.

turn that love you give so freely to others, back into yourself and let its warmth be that sun which enables you to grow.

― Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse

The loving went well beyond any fantasies we had about it and what it could do for us. It was always going to be something more than these finite minds could imagine. If we let it.

when aligned, we are most recognizable to ourselves, most recognizant of our own light.

devastated to hear that the poet J. H. Prynne died this morning. Prynne’s work has been a source of fascination, inspiration, puzzlement, & awe for me since ~2011, when his book Kazoo Dreamboats totally rearranged what I believed poetry could be. His poems are a tremendous gift:

It's no light thing for your truth to be placed in hands that willing hold everything you are.

Sonia Sanchez

only when you stop running from your solitude will you find yourself where you dream to be.
