Relief in the bits, that’s where I’ll look, Bits of words I scribble down, bits of progress each day, Progress with words and goals alike, strung together tasks, don’t ask, just do, Do unto others and expect the same, sort of a game, by any other name, Meditate, Motivate, Generate, Words, Actions, Understanding, Relief through …
Darkness & Intimacy
Seems preferred, darkened environs, magical somehow, This winter time, early dusk, late dawn, a secret pleasure, Lying early, late with you, warm, safe, thankful, Pray never end though know not so, Not so long until it comes again, another chance to feel it, be it again, Content with you, me together, no tether needed, tied …
Love To Linger
Let it be so again and again, linger a while, the longer the better, Last one to leave, soak up every last bit of convo, to the last drop, Darkness inviting, smooth, soft sheets, one more glass, let’s split it, More time with you always seems better, not bitter, not ever, Wish it could be …
Change Up, 2025
Let’s see, what’s to change? Less anxiety, yes please! Easier time through it, less antsy about the whole thing. More regular focus on the basics to stay grounded and organized. No IPA for a bit, we’ll see. Write every day, likely ending up as a blog post. More music. More sleep. More self-care. More joy!

Lucia’s tales from antics with her friends and dance exercises in the backseat. Ana capturing bits of inspiration by scribbling down notes and snapping photos. Levi …
Democracy & The World
As this year draws to close, I need put on my Political Science Hat and reflect on the long view. In so many countries the electorate has spoken for change in recent years, have chosen to change things up with the ballot box; or with rifles. Ukraine, Syria, United Kingdom, Germany, Mexico, United States, Afghanistan, …
A Bit On Christianity
I was raised in the tradition, Have experienced intense times of faith in my life, and also more fleeting, subtle periods, A few points from an op piece caught my eye, spoke to me, In Christianity,, “believing all that stuff” is not the point. The Christian message, as I experience it, was, IS transformational. It …
Midnight Math Problems
You might think the son of a math teacher…math?! Snap, skulduggery! Ahem, you’d think he would be ok with math problems spilling into my head in the small hours… If so, you’d be wrong. Hours, counts, bills, amounts, Behind behind, simple matter, catch up catch up, one by one…get it done, Done dealing with Midnight …
Bandwidth
Interesting and insightful way to think about time, at least for me. Recent critique has me wondering, reviewing, how do I do? These fourteen years now a parent, These nine years now add on my parents, These four years now single, co-parenting, And now my auntie as well, How’s my bandwidth? Measured in anxiety, Open …
