How to Fix Yourself

How to Fix Yourself

How do you sum up a life? Narrowing the focus feels nearly impossible. I wonder if other people’s lives are as full and varied as mine; so many selves to choose from.So, I feel a moment of truth. And I want to stop taking my meds after this sentence.I write, I post, I text, and that builds up the wanna-be. But where does that leave what is?In the dark again.Where are you, what is? Who are you?Don’t stop there. How can I accept so vastly how I am without accepting who I am? What kind of bypass is that? Do not get poetic, damn it! Get real. Open up. What does it mean to love myself, right here, right now?This is the way I am. Yes, I feel a small surge and tingle, very, very deep inside. Li...

Nail biter's magic

The fat boy was sitting on the teacher's desk in classroom C5. There was no one in the classroom except the 44-year-old man, who was enjoying himself alone. He was once locked at home by his father because he only wanted to play and not do his homework. Now he takes the initiative to lock himself in the classroom, just to give himself an explanation. Since Brother Qiu passed away, he often thinks about death. Yesterday, he once again emotionally taught a lesson to the two young people in his family. That was before dinner. He shouted at his daughter, feeling his body shaking, and almost violently slapped himself again in front of the woman he was closest to. Fortunately, he held back yesterd...
Day of Jesus' Crucifixion

Day of Jesus' Crucifixion

Alternative Chronology of the Crucifixion of JesusLike Christmas, celebrating Jesus’ birth, we may celebrate these events of the crucifixion on symbolic days which remind us of the literal events, even though we may not be following their exact chronology or dates.Some scholars argue for a crucifixion on the Thursday of Holy Week followed by two Sabbath days, the Passover Sabbath on Friday and the regular Sabbath on the Saturday of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Passover is one day while the Feast of Unleavened Bread lasts for seven days.Jesus led the Last Supper with his disciples on the same Jewish day, after sunset, that he died, the day the Passover lambs were killed, to be eaten that ...

Algorithmic Longing

We match so well  on paper, the algorithm told me so. You keep popping in my window so that I can follow and be known.

You keep asking for connection, for a partner in this world, 

But you keep asking for support while scrolling past my post.


How is it that we can want the same things? Be ignited by the same passions but keep missing  each other's “follow” action? 


 

Am I not as good as others? Or is the next one just a little better?

I completely understand because I too am waiting for something greater.

Pandora's Regret

Pandora's Regret A gilded gift, a curious sight, A vessel sealed, a forbidden light. With trembling hand, I lifted high, Ignorance my guide, a fatal cry.A whirlwind unleashed, a tempest's roar, A world transformed, forevermore. Despair took hold, a chilling, icy grip, As sorrow's shadow stole hope's fading slip.A heart now heavy, a soul forlorn, A life forever changed, a lesson born. I yearned to turn back time, undo the deed, To silence the chaos, the world's dire need.Yet, in the darkness, a flicker of light, A glimmer of hope,a guiding sight. Though burdened by guilt, I'll strive to mend, To learn and grow, until l...

Once a Soul Asked an Angel:

Once a soul asked an angel:
- Why should I go to Earth?
I am afraid of all the dangers,
Waiting for me after birth.

 

The angel answered with a  warm voice:
- No reason for your fear,
Cause everytime you take a choice,
l will be always near.

 

- But how could I know you if
You change your face with other?
- For your ease and relief
You should call me: “Mother”.

Jesus

A rhyming sonnet about Jesus Christ by Geoffrey Waugh.

Sin stalks the soul, and permeates the whole
Of life lived here where we, while bound by fear,
Hunt far and near for freedom to appear
From pole to pole with our minds in control.
That worthy goal seems mockery.  Sin stole
Our freedom dear, left pain and woe to sear
Each life, a mere heartache, or sob, or tear,
Like a lost mole, blind, dirty in its hole.
God’s love stepped in to fight and conquer sin
Through Christ who bled and died and rose as Head
Supreme of all who claim Him Lord.  Our fall,
Clamour and din may end in Him.  We win
Release from dread, freedom, life from the dead,
Unbound from gall, in answer to His call.

softly screams,

In the hazel of a stormy sky,  I feel the world begin to break.  A cage I built in days gone by,  Now holds me, though my heart aches.   Hidden truths I dared not see,  Lie buried deep beneath the night.  I'm afraid of what they’ll be to me,  If I dare to seek their light.   The dark night whispers broken dreams,  Of love once dear but lost to time.  The storm outside, it softly screams,  While shadows steal what once was mine.   In this storm, I stand alone,  Afraid of all I’ll never know.  A broken soul, far from home,  In ...
