On this page are some of my own words, inspired by life, created to inspire life and all its meaningful possibilities into manifestation. Here, you’ll find poetry, nonfiction, creative + experimental nonfiction, short stories, and embodied poetry. Please enjoy.
The anatomy of a hug
“To love is to live like nothing’s ever happened, / yet everything's occurred; / to live like we've forgotten lifetimes / in this lifetime, and our hearts beat in sync, / giving us more to love. / More time to make love.”
Blood of this tree
“What does transmutation mean, you ask? […] It is to remain rooted while you die and rise again.”
Love as a sacred practice
“It is so clear that any instance of hate is a call back to love. It is the sharpest, loudest, most reverberant signal.”
What does it mean to be "love"?
“And so as I reflect on the journal entry that prompted this cognition — and metacognition — I think of love as a kind of knowledge.”
