ARE YOU IN AN EXPANDED OR CONTRACTED STATE?
How often do we look back and wonder where the years went by. In the grand scheme of things, our lives are but a split second or even less. What’s to marvel about is how much we go through in the few moments we call life.

yup. Acknowledgement. And for me often, it starts with simple permission. That all that ‘awful’ I’m feeling — ugliness, resistance, fear — is legitimate too. Go further in you say. Stay with myself. Remain on my mat as Glennon Doyle Melton writes. I won’t die when I do. Rather I will know myself.

When I was younger I used to hate sleeping on my own because it frightened me to death (I had a vivid imagination). I also never wanted to go to school because I hated waking up early and also because I was shy as hell. So, the majority of the time my mother struggled trying to get my ass to…

2 weeks ago to the date I wrote this blog in response to Martin Luther King Jr Day, an IAWA Salon I was asked to participate in and a news story. Below is the blog. The “I say” was meant to be a call and response.
Looking into the Deep

I read somewhere that songs and smells are often the strongest triggers of memory. That has definitely been true in my experience.

I love it when my wife says “I adore you.” You’re absolutely right, that it conveys so much more than “I love you,” which is nice, and it conveys WAY more than the flippant “Luv ya!”
I frequently tell her “I cherish you,” or “I treasure you.” Both are true!

It’s a strange thing, love. It washes over you, like a wave, washes over till you choke, and still, you’re left wanting more. No matter what love: love for nature, although it doesn’t involve another person, is exactly the same. Some people’s passion for nature starts at a young age, and is obvious: they collect…

At my age (22 going on 12), very few are incomplete for the right circumstances to justify falling in love.

Once Upon A Time…
My exasperation with men began in early childhood. I was six years old, and completely in love with Charlie Simpson, the lead singer of my favourite band at the time: Busted. The combination of those unruly, caterpillar eyebrows and his husky, guttural voice made me weak at the knees; and earned him the…
teu sorriso é do tamanho do oceano. e as ondas do teu cabelo faziam com que me sentisse em casa.
a imensidão dos teus olhos mais se parecia com o ar que respiro. e a luz da tua presença era capaz de ofuscar qualquer raio solar.

I just came across this post from a year ago. I find it a bit surreal that about 6 months after writing this I find my soul mate and we are married. Ha! I have found in my wife a true partner, advocate and muse. I was open hearted and decided that if there was someone who was a fit for me, I would be…
I was hungry, but for all the wrong reasons.
Show me your imperfections and I’ll fall deeply in love with you.
Stand there naked and unflinching, and I’ll offer you my hand.
Say you’re full of doubts, and I’ll breath a little easier.
“DONT BARGAIN WITH NEEDY PEOPLE -THINK TWICE”
She asked him, “How much are you selling the eggs for?”
The old seller replied, “5 bucks an egg, Ma’am.”
She said to him, “I will take 6 eggs for 25 bucks or I will leave.”
Fifty and some odd years they’ve been together

Dear L,
I’m sorry I couldn’t be what you needed, or even what you wanted.
Three whole words and eight letters late, I can’t bring myself to be sorry for falling in love with you.

Dear Riz,
You wrote so many apologies for so many things but I’m not sorry. I’m not sorry for anything that happened between us except that I ever made you believe that my love for you was so shallow that I couldn’t love you as my boyfriend just as much as I loved you as my partner and my girlfriend.

The idea of love and how you’re supposed to feel is so much pressure. One day you’re with somebody and you think it’s all you ever want, the next day you don’t even want to talk to him. You think you feel love but it’s really just the mindset of it. One day you’re with someone and your friend tells you…

The chill, unreal in season and time,
As a kid, I ended up asking an Old Man, “What it means to have to lead a Good Life”.
The old man seemed happy- not cranky despite frailty, discontent, and loneliness that come with old age.

And from loving you so much back then, I know that whatever it is that I feel for you right now, isn’t love.
Greetings Dear Reader,
My Daughter, Christmas has a practice that I love. When we are out and about she will see someone in something she really likes. Or she will notice a hairstyle on someone that appeals to her.
We are always finding live examples with the same situations as ours, to justify our failed tasks. And so we define those people as a point of reference to our failed existence. We start feeling relaxed by seeing those people who are like us rather than guilty that we are yet sticking…
