Have you ever walked along the beach, stopped and looked back at your footprints in the sand wondering how they got there? Have you ever been so lost in thought that part of this precious life has simply passed you by?
Have you ever made love to an angel knowing in that moment that your life had changed forever? Have you ever simply missed someone so deeply that it felt as if a piece of you had been taken with them? Have you ever felt the sting of loss so poignantly that survival is not a certainty?
I believe we all share similar experiences, and that at times some of us are more aware of them than others. I believe one of the purposes of my life is to have these experiences, observe them, and then write about them. I believe that my gift is not just in the writing, but in the experience and the ability to observe those experiences in their wonderful intensity. I am blessed with the gift of translating the language of that which inspires me into something that we all can understand.
Enjoy this, and I hope it inspires you in ways unique to your journey, your purpose and your joy.

So rarely given such a poetic heartfelt glimpse of a man’s inner world …. Thank you
It means the world to me to hear this…thank you!! 🙂
Loved your elephant journal article. Enjoying your blog. You bring an intensity and honesty that isn’t often seen from men. Shared your blog with my husband which I know he will enjoy. Thank you.
I was referring to the Feb 20th article. What I love about you.
I just read your piece ‘Until then….’ To receive a man in my life with this immensity of depth & knowing….wow…..all I can say is…bring it on!!!
I read your article about f I love you. How does a man who feels like that about a woman and experiences it with her, walk out? For the woman left behind, it’s exceptionally hard to recover. Extremely well written.I’d forgotten my feelings. Keep writing, whatever you do. Thank you.
The woman left behind (having been the man left behind) needs to remember that sometimes that leaving is a gift. Receive it, open it, and enjoy it.
I was compelled to see more if your writings after reading ‘F*ck I Love You’ on Elephant Journal. WOW! Thank you!!!! <3 Check me out at http://body-beloved.blogspot.com/ Blessings!
Wonderful writing … Just read the FB piece about you the night you almost ended it all (so painful so beautiful thank you)
…. and a little of your adult only … Feeling rather breathless …
Brilliant
You’ve inspired me Thank you

Yearning
She gave up
Waiting for the one who
Couldn’t say
What she meant
To him
He read through
The words
Not written
In all of those
She wrote
For he existed in those
And yet he had none
To say
As she
Walked away
Looking back
Her tears washed
Away
All the words
She had written
Each step
Took her away
And all she had
Were more
Words
Sad bitter ones
To make up for
His absence
