Run Out
The best advice I can give. Run Out. Run out of excuses. Run out of fear. Run out of pretenses. Run out of patience for people who don’t treat you right. Run out of comfort with things that are smaller than you are. Run out of things that numb your feelings. Run out and find …
2022.
My New Year’s Resolution: To not relive the same year, over again. I don’t know if it will be “happy,” but by God, it will be new. New standards. New boundaries. New confidence. New patterns. New habits. New rules. New faith. Same me. Same game. New way of playing it. Starting with me. New ways. …
Hard Days
I understand that life can’t be a good day every day. Some days, it’s all we can do to just get through it. All you can do is hold your loved ones, hold them tight and never let them go. Because at the end of the day, if you have someone to hold, it’s a …
Glimmers
When I started this website ten years ago, I called it “Glimmers”. Let me tell you why that made sense. Because at twenty-something, I could only see glimmers of truth.

This is My Dad
This is my dad. He loves to play the piano. He plays the piano like people should live life. He plays straight from the heart. You know how I know that? Because his memory is pretty much shot, stolen from him partially by illness and the rest, by the medicines he had to take to …
Stargazer
I can’t help it. I love looking at the stars. So, tonight, for maybe the third time this week, I’m staring at a night sky and trying to get my bearings enough to find this comet. I don’t know what makes it different from any other comet, but I know they said it won’t be …
Empathy
The key to life, empathy. It answers all the questions on our minds right now. Do I really need to wear a mask? Empathy. Why are they taking down all the statues? Empathy. What if racism still exists? Empathy. How do we get through this divide? … Empathy.
