What Crosses My Mind

  • The Politics of Humility

    It is no surprise that I am not a fan of our POTUS. Now, he is receiving accolades for his participation in the Gaza cease fire. I’m listening to him speak with his cabinet and a press corp, while he lauds himself in every other sentence.  I feel so torn and anxious with my personal…

  • Where Are Our Gentle Souls?

    I’ve been in a state of evaluation for several years now, not to speak of my entire life. Since I lost my marriage, I have battled a lot of demons. I’m not asking anyone to feel sorry for me, to be sure, I’m only wanting to lay out from where some of my reflection has…

  • Is This What The Inception of a Civil War Feels Like?

    Seems everyday I don’t have to turn on the news to discover something has occurred. News that rips apart the fabric of our nation is readily made. Right now they are isolated incidents, most recently Charlie Kirk, the Michigan tragedy, and now the dangerous rhetoric coming from Mr. Trump et al.  Today, I watched a…

  • The State of Our Mind

    We witness the fall of our nation, Every news report, Even the silence alone is telling. It’s that quiet confusion, Always evades reasonable truths, And runs us into the ground. There’s a faction of desperation  Seems impossible to address, Maybe it’s about comprehension. So many street corners, Holding onto anxious eyes. We see them everyday,…

  • Being Alone

    I suppose it’s a state of mind, My world crumbling around me. Little sound bytes of tyranny Veiled by loyal mouthpieces. We sometimes feel isolated By surges of the unthinkable. We wonder out loud some times, Believing the mystery awaiting. Even then the facade is stronger, Our words are tied in knots. When a wish…

  • Wrapping My Head Around It All

    Captured in the moment are the anxious. Trying in vain to overcome a peril, A society out of control, no longer together. Everything we believe is confusion. If when we wake we wrap ourselves in The daily news, we will struggle. How difficult it can be to understand The weight, an indecisive leadership. Every morning…

  • Turmoil

    When what we believe In our hearts and soul, Becomes layered in anxiety Wishing not to be retold. Same saga, a different day, And the adage, ‘old news’ Shreds us while alone inside. We keep waiting for a something, A normalcy exists, Well out of reach. We’re trying to lean forward, Yet, somewhere a confusion…

  • Been A Couple Of Days

    I can’t help but feel confused. I’ve been reading headlines, searching for insight, trying to meddle through all of the public reaction to the Kirk assassination. I’ve read plenty of accusations attributed to the left and the right. Does it matter that I said left before I did right? Would the other way around matter?…

  • Living With The Pain I Will Never Endure

    It’s been a day now, and I am trying to wrap my head around the terrible events of yesterday at Annunciation School in Minneapolis. I’m not sure how to think except to feel the devastation that the students who went through this hell will have to live with going forward. I’ll never be able to…

  • On Stephen Colbert

    We recently received the news that Stephen Colbert has been cancelled. The highest rated late night show is being discontinued because of “financial issues.” This is hard to imagine given his show – Late Night With Stephen Colbert – is incredibly popular. Social media has taken to criticizing the move, people recognizing without a blink…
