Chapter 5 Let it Go |
Jan 04 |
"And avoid fear, for fear is the consequence of every lie."
-Fydor Doystoevsky, (the Brothers Karamazof)
Today, this single phrase has been beating in my head like a war drum.
On the battlefield of my mind, and in the fragile chaos of my machine-like heart,
this simple line has been echoing on.
Reverberating off the walls of war-torn streets,
I can faintly here the Roman calvary choirs singing.
And for me, it sounds a lot… read more

The snow is falling today.
Michigan on Christmas for the first time in my life,

It's coming down like waves of manna in that perfect heavy silence

Though I struggle to remember it at times,
I've been blessed to discover that God doesn't need me after all.
Wait, what?

What are you even saying?
