Steadfast

“Let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:10,12

A reminder in my writing absence.

Woman On A Ledge

"Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble." Psalm 19:165

New York City has a palpitating energy that once in the intoxicating grasp. it is hard to escape.

Because if and when you untangle yourself from her exasperating clutch, and spend a few days outside of the dizzying speed and constant hum, you question just why and how you operate in a manic state of mind and motion by your own volition.

Yet, once back into her illuminated grit, success driven, booze infused, self important, dark shadowed, skyscraper canyon your heart seems to swell in her calloused palm.

Even when I go, I love to come back.

Am I on the brink?


Let Me Be

The lines have deepened across my forehead.
Stress sores cover my chapped lips.

And even I am tired of hearing my complaints.

Formerly British Honduras.

Next to Guatemala.

I'm falling off the grid.

So you better Belize it.

SHHHmHHH!

Namaste.

Stars: They're Just Like Us

Ways I know I have become jaded in NYC.

Reason 99

Stood in for Academy Award winner Laura Linney in a scene for Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon.

And after the 1st take of their juicy catfight,  I quit watching.
