this is on you

You had my heart

And you knew it, too

And just like a bird

You grew cold + flew

Now any doubt you feel

Any of what you think is true

This is on you

Palm Springs + its crooked trees + its dusty deserts, too

Walking her through our memories

W. hope it might spark something new

I hope you find your Saviour

I hope he brings you to your knees

I hope he floods your mind

I hope he puts your soul at ease

Her,

W. her heart tied in a bow

Do you bury it

Or do you already know?

How her presence is to fill a space

To bide you time,

So you might plead your case.

How Broad

How bold

How crass

How blue

How sad

How disappointing

How nothing new

God doesn’t love you because you’re that good... God loves you because God is good. That’s the experience of radical grace.

at the end

i respect your vulnerabilities,

while you seem to prey on mine.

and of all the things you’ve ever done to me, 

this time is where i draw the line

we live our lives with all this fear

for who? from what? from where?

how did we arrive to this place,

with all of our joys replaced?

where we attempt to ward off terrors for an ease we seek

only to learn these scares really have no teeth

i so wish to strip these chains from you

and have you strip them of me, too

and we both lean in to speak,

in hopes, to say:

we managed to desert our hurt 

another day

despite all philosophies

when conflict enters a peaceful place 

we do not know how the heart will respond

but what can be sure,

is that just as God assembled his paradoxes

and tied the moon to its tides

and our senses to our intuition

and one magnetic field to another -

we are also tethered to each other.

so, just as i will respect these grand designs

i will also respect that love is intangible

and most importantly,

i will always trust in the defiance of common sense

Travel Days

I know I’ve felt far away

I don’t like this tough sort of blocking

My foundation had been shaky 

And my soul came knocking.

So, I slipped into the quiet

With all the ins and the outs and the release,

To try to harness wisdom words,

To find a little bit more peace.

I think about you all the time

Which is something that I really hope you feel

Because my words are stuck right now

And my head & heart won’t cut a deal.

I do envy quickness and agility 

In long and curious days like these -

To be able to see the ocean for the waves

And the forest for the trees.

and if I were to say I love you and I do love you and I say it now and again and again would you say parataxis would you see the world revolves anew its axis you

Candide Thovex Skis The World

Candide Thovex is the best freeskier in the world. His skill is legendary, his style is unmistakable, and he doesn't even need snow. Candide went around the world with partner Audi, skiing places that you couldn't imagine being able to...

There is the moment we live in where value is determined by how much things sell for and how much celebrity someone gets. Very few people manage to create a value that endures over a long period of time. Ultimately, value is created by people who aren’t even alive now; that doesn't mean that’s the only value though. I think the value of the moment is another type of value. It just doesn’t last.

crevices & wings

We are not a life together now and I feel the depths of our worlds a part I wish you could know just how this strains on me How it manifests in the crevices of my heart But I know, wanting something and having it, are two very different things Like trying to make the caterpillar fly before it’s sourced its wings

the building of it up

the building of it up 

comes from the breaking of it down

so, never yield to the seeking of new horizons

or succumb to the fear of forging the uncommon ground
