The Moments After

Life moves too quickly. So fast that most of us have no clue about who what where why and when. Because I'm a daily writer. I'm often haunted by the moments after. My second book Another 1021 Thoughts deeply digs into the aftermath of September 11th. But the terrorism hasn't ended. November 15, 2015 another horrid event took place. The daily writing is very truthful to the moment not to serve my purpose in the present. But rather to help heal what once was. How then do you learn from it nearly a year later?

Post Production Blues

I've sat with multiple actors, musicians and comedians and talked openly about the horrid feeling of emptiness that consumes the mind body and soul after a performance. But I've never spoken with a preacher, minister or pastor after they've delivered the word in the pulpit then had to fade back into being a normal person. In November of 2015 I was blessed with the opportunity to share the word of God without knowing the after affects that would darken the world I was now part of.

Is It Safe To Write

I spent some time with Christopher Darden today. We spoke openly about writing. He doesn't feel its a great place to travel. Whereas I use writing as a connection to a lesson learned. But is it?

The Lyrics from The Poets Forest Chapter 40

How often do you feel as if you're buried under a lot of work or stress? What if God invited you to take all that has you covered and teach someone how not to become trapped? Here's the catch. You won't be given the identity of the person your struggles, challenges and victories have changed. Do you accept the mission or continue helping those you know?

The Arrival

Mood swings and indifference have always been my place of study. Maybe because the idea that your mind body and soul can change its direction without a signal is unfair. Then again. When you greet the everyday with the acceptance of there being an arrival. The waves and ways of the energy we carry always holds the signals being sent of there being change. Learning to study the arrival will put you in a better place every time.

Hearing The Calling

There was a step in my childhood bedroom. I used that step to share what I knew about God. My congregation was a collection of stuffed animals. Most of which I still have in my possession at 54 years old. Radio became my pulpit. Only to realize God's loving arms were tugging on my soul to locate the steps to his purpose.

Breaking Down The Process

Breaking down the process requires a level of spiritual connection as well as honesty with the entire self that brought you to the moment you're presently standing in. It's too easy to experience then set it aside. Mainly because life gives giving us things to do. Without realizing the situations that we're part of are physical tools in the process of path making.

Who Am I

I don't see anything wrong with asking, "Who am I?" I believe its very healthy to create blank spaces. I am _______. To label ourselves puts us on a path of what we feel is. But in reality it closes the door on what we need to become.

Where Does Time Go

I am a time freak. Three hours early is six hours too late. When we lose time. Where does it go? I'd like to get back what we so willingly toss aside. Or to latch back onto the time vibe that a boss feels belongs to them. Yet they leave on time for outside adventures like golf or to just go home without a cast of characters labeled employees. Where does time go when we lose it?

Speaking To Your Future Self

I don't live in my past. I believe what we write speaks to our future.

Blind Eye Fearful Soul

What does the blind eye tell the fearful soul? When tragic moments happen in our lives. The first thing we do? We stop breathing. If God is alive in your mind body and soul. Cutting off the oxygen moving inside shuts him down. Your heart. Your muscles. Your system of thought needs air to move forward. God gives us air to breathe for more than what you think.

Turning It Around

Someone recently took note of how these stories shared are changed in ways that take the light off the one doing the writing and put onto someone who might be going through the same experience. They wanted to know if I was still being faithful to the writer. What happens to the writer when he realizes it's probably going to be a subject on the air?

Nathan Willett About The Trail To Success

The Cold War Kids know how hard it is to make it in the music industry. Nathan Willett talks about that all important big break and why they are working to give one up and coming act an opportunity to open for them at the Live Wholly Festival on September 17 in Salt Lake City.

Daily Writer vs Daily Thinker

I am a free form writer. Does that make me a free form thinker? I believe businesses are designed today to bank on the free form of anything as long as you catch them in the middle and not the end result. The bend me shape me policy. Great idea but do it our way. We will train you at our expense. What we live everyday is a divided highway of decision making. Those labeled boss and the employee that keeps the boss employed. In everything we do there are separate points of views. One problem. Neither side wants to listen and or negotiate.

Feed Your Seed

We label days of the week. It motivates us to bend beyond the true shape or wall that stands in front of us. The idea of feeding the seed God wants us to become is the furthest part of your short term success story. The reasons for enduring good and bad seasons has nothing to do with your bad boss and everything to do with your excuses as to why you won't let yourself become what you were designed to live out.

Hmmm

I took a writing instrument with me into church. Not to take Biblical notes. Not to critique my incredible pastor. I wanted to document how the word of God moved through me. To better understand the power of his word and why it is that we explode with energy when the message reaches our soul. The lesson has taught me to be a better listener as well as activator.

The White Picket Fence

We are taught there's only one God. My favorite conversations are with pastors and ministers that allow the personal conversations to reach beyond what we should know and into what we assume. To me it creates a white picket fence approach to exploring. A somewhat dangerous walk and yet through a better relationship there is stronger thought.
