Awareness & Awakening, Poetry

Your destination is on the left

I have reached an age where my heroes have become human.

Feet & Frontal Lobe: We are Capable of More than We Think

As I sink into my couch, inert and irritable once again, I read, over and over, this poem I wrote a few days ago. I know the words are trying to tell me something, but whatever-it-is keeps swirling out of reach. Continue reading Feet & Frontal Lobe: We are Capable of More than We Think
