I know people have wondered about it: the way that one of my dearest friends passed out of this world in silence almost a year ago now – without a word from me about it on my blog. I have gnawed a hole in one cheek over her death and…

The Facade of Protection and Justice for our Children

IF YOU ARE A SOCIAL WORKER READING THIS POST (OR ANY OF MY BLOG FOR THAT MATTER): Spare me your high and mighty remarks about the excellent jobs you all do in helping kids. The only effect that those posts ever have on me IS FAR from the one that you’re shooting for by defending […]

Loop.

This was how it always began, she knew; this was the miserably familiar feeling of progressing – long and far, and with much despair on the way – blood, sweat, tears – only to eventually carry you to the gut-wrenching realization that you’re patterning a circle – a loop, and nothing more. This seat in […]

Chance.

I’ve written in the past of my professionally given label of “a medical anomaly” when it comes to my physiology/immunology/genetics. This handle was given to me via a Stanford University medical conference luncheon, in which one of my former doctors highlighted my case in his widely received presentation on ‘reconstructive maxiofacial tissue surgery and uncommon […]

Sunday.

It’s Sunday; and sometime in early December…I hate the holidays. I have been in a notably embittered state of being as of late; I wake up in a shit mood and spend my day feeling either numb or way too much emotion, shuffle my feet around and paint makeup on my face, do my normal […]

Trappings

Originally posted on Mocking Bird Down:
The trappings we drag, for the overnight stay in the damp, dark, cold to the touch; parts of the hell that we personally designed just for moments like these; when the world feels too small for how much we don’t feel.

My Lady and Her Bear

Originally posted on ChainsawPenguin:
My lady fair, And her bear, Set to sea last winter. Cold wind blowing, Neither of them knowing, Whither the snow had sent her. But their picnick at sea, Gave them such glee As they cared not to question. They said “Let it blow! We care not for snow! Our boat…

Unacceptable Stairs

Originally posted on ChainsawPenguin:
The mountain, the ark The ziggurat. Embark Upon a path of oneness that time forgot. The head that floats there, Those that lead into the air, An end not unlike a brain and a blood-clot. My ego death and following joy, The Infinite stairs that you employ, Provide the motivation to…

8.20 Train

Originally posted on Mocking Bird Down:
Summer nights all sounds the same; the rattle of the heat, against the humidity and the thick of the shame that settles on the city eleven floors below. My skin is sticky with cigarette smoke, and the wretched weariness that feels more like dehydration of the mind; each thought,…

In a Different Life

Originally posted on ChainsawPenguin:
In a different life This pain she feels isn’t hers alone. On this path there’s more than one shadow, In a different life. And in that different life, of which she often dreams. There are hands to help her, There are arms to hold her, There is good and joyful news…

"Stupidity has a price, and it always get's paid."
- Dan Simmons, (The Fall of Hyperion)

“So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion;respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people.Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend,even a stranger, when in a lonely place.Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living.If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.”

– Tecumseh
Native American of the Shawnee

An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.

– Martin Luther King, Jr.
