I would just like to take a moment to wish a very Happy Birthday to one of my favorites in the whole world, Liz. I hope your day is just the best and I cannot wait to see that smile and go on adventures with you next month.

To Rise Above Conflict
For the Ride
Hand to my head
Hard to believe the words that were said:
Quantifying, analyzing, criticizing;
Destructive.
I held your hand
You pushed it away
Can the opinions and beliefs we carry
Really map out the way?
I was going to show you how love
Can be powerful, too
But, useless, it felt,
Judging by the response from you.
Then, a shift, a lean, a bend came along
Your side of the story soon came into view
Mine pulled up beside yours,
Four arms stretched and our differences withdrew.
Your head, in my lap, made me realize
The miles I would travel to be by your side
You’re a piece of the puzzle;
Still here. For the ride.

Wandering in the Night
Running with the Moon
Tonight, I ran beneath the moon —
A perfect workout partner, I must say.
Walked some, not only ran,
Streetlights glowing down the lane.
Amazed how far I was going, I remembered
Feeling the way I felt tonight.
Something familiar began to happen:
I was still breathing. I was alright.
From somewhere off, probably a mile away,
The smell of fire brought me back.
I raised my head up to the sky;
Stars were shining strong against the black.
A sudden smile ran across my face and I thought,
“Maybe I could get used to nights like these.”
Fall weather, a little running, a happy time,
And a gentle breeze.
