WELCOME TO OUR JOURNEY
Come, walk with me in the tension of
where wild, terrifyingly beautiful dreams
meet the murk and rubble
of today and tomorrow and yesterday.
It’s a journey where realities play.
Heart, mind, body.
It’s a real, unfiltered, raw, unharnessed path.
It’s a little in the clouds and a lot in the sand and dirt.
My life, your life, our world together.
Stories, dreams, visions.
History, scars, generations.
One thing you should know.
It’s through darkness, death, chaos, suffering.
But into light, life, order, and peace.
For, where else would we go?
​
​
ON THE HORIZON
It might be an obsession.
Or, it might just be life.
But, I can’t stop thinking about
Those things that pull me up.
Hope.
Stars, rainbows, spring.
Butterflies and metamorphosis.
Pressed wine.
Baked bread.
Labor into birth.
Plants growing out of decay.
Campfires burning into darkness.
Valleys but also mountains.
I’ve let darkness shroud my life far too long.
Ravage and rage.
I’m putting my real, living hands
Into earth, clay, and dust.
I’m walking into hope.
Into everyday liturgies of healing for my
Heart, mind, body—everything.
I’m standing on the edge,
Flying this kite right into wind.
Barefoot with tears,
But tomorrow I’ll be laughing.
​
Want to come?
