If all we are
is energy
seems cruel
it becomes
looped

stars have died
by the time
we see them
though we
may be stars
ourselves
what purpose

to experience
perhaps a biological
miracle

I never thought
my world
could crash
and burn out
as a star

into nothing
into this...
void

You may feel worn down by the world, Feel like you're flailing your way from one thing to the next. But don't forget .... there is something extraordinary about you.

Music soothes are souls as well as excites the senses. I can't imagine life without it.

The album I always played on those trips was her second, the self-titled album. Thinking about those songs gives me goosebumps again.

Indeed, she can! A six month stretch many years ago I'd drive every Monday morning four hours out to a job site. This album, along with ones from Sheryl Crow and Shawn Colvin, was played every trip out.

I love this entire album. Good reminder that I need to listen to it again.

I’m happy my state’s governor signed an Executive Order to make the COVID vaccine more readily available to anyone that wanted it, so my kids and I got it today.

Is “Wishing Cross Station” the novel you mentioned?

The aura of autumn has thoroughly blanketed the day, bringing both marvel and melancholy in equal measure. I am in awe, and my soul is soothed.

We all have rough, dark days. Because of this, it’s healthy to take a day off to escape reality for a bit. Just like our bodies, our minds need rest, too.

I perched
watching this thing
called life and all
the while I felt
un-real
like many

It’s heartbreaking, really. Society puts so much weight on physical appearance, especially for women. But the truth is, identity runs deeper than any external feature. It’s built on resilience, intellect, kindness, and so much more. Those who rely solely on appearance are missing deep, true beauty.
