STAY SEPARATE OR JOIN IN
Do you sometimes feel like a shadow of yourself? Well, all other species on the planet and beyond feel the same exact way. Do you want to join hands by joining minds? Or do you want to stay separate, because nobody accepted you before? Were you not accepted because of your individuality, or because youContinue reading “STAY SEPARATE OR JOIN IN”
CHINA TWIG
You break like a brittle twig because you lack life because you take life instead of give life. Chinese broken. Chinese break easy. Chinese selfish – must control every detail from destruction to death. Chinese have no God, so devil enters easy. Fry a dog. Chew a leg, break the panda’s back. Jump up andContinue reading “CHINA TWIG”

A new day really is a newContinue reading “ANTICIPATION”
Sweet Dreams And Happy Tomorrows

Lake Erie disappears when the fog rolls in. Downtown Cleveland High Rise Skyline disappears too. All the high rises succumb to the rolling fog. Then it settles, waiting for its next instruction, making you feel the comfort of a smaller world. When it decides to recede, like the waves in the Great Lake it blankets,Continue reading “FOG”
THE EYE OF THE STORM
The eye of the storm. The mind is most powerful when it’s stubborn. The resistance of the mind is like super glue–one drop holds a yacht, keeps a mountain from moving, stops the sea from separating, and creates a frustration so intense in a person witnessing it in another, that it can cause heart attacks,Continue reading “THE EYE OF THE STORM”
THE POWER OF THE PLANT
The power of a plant. Winding around the brick wall the ivy fastens itself to the mortar as if for dear life, puncturing wounds into the walls it calls on for it’s survival.
