She said, "I'll just keep showing up if you don't mind"

And I said, "We'll build a house around it"

Can you believe in a god who loves living through your pleasures?

I cannot believe in a god who can't.

Can you imagine loving a god through your pleasures?

I cannot think of a better definition of worship.

Can you see a god's purpose in the pain?

I cannot understand my own brokenness without it.

And what of the memories that were yours that were also ours?

What happens to the invisible fibers of memory threaded and knotted and tied to keep us close?

I'd have only this feeling left: The inverse impression of you. The cavity of the mold your soul's weight imprinted into me. But it's only the absence of you.

Tracing the corded memories to the place where you connected to me to thumb the frayed ends where you would belong.

Evolve or die.

If you're still here for this blog, bless you 😘

If there was a lesson I learned from her, it was everyday was her best day

What is the matter?

Ignorance takes up the empty spaces of what matters.

That there are no such things as empty spaces proves our ignorance of what matters.

This is the matter that matters.

The barrier to entry to most improvements in our lives is simply hard work...repeatedly.

Why is your life the same?

Are you the jester or the fool?

The tactician or the one who plays it cool?

She told me her secret dreams and fantasies, and I told her, "It's easy to live in theory"

But I meant to hide in theory.

Then she said, "The Lord saw fit to give us functioning minds so we could see how dumb we are."
