Not Alone











My heart is in my mouth

Bittersweet and sickening 

Head in fog and confused

The suspense is deafening 


Is it naive to hope?

I close my eyes tight

Don't give me bad news 

I don't want to fight


Perhaps I make it arduous

To love me and only me

I always say it's my fault 

You're refusing to see


You don't want to be alone

You want to be enough

Blind to your own beauty

Insisting you're simply tough


It isn't naive to hope

Close your eyes tight

Fall into my arms

There's no need to fight


Unclench your fists

I'll unclench my teeth 

Sync your breath to mine

Refuse to sink underneath


Ease my dying heart

Let me fix my mistakes

I'll ease your burning mind

And annihilate all fakes


Find once again: hope

I see you in the darkness

We can get out together 

Towards blissful absurdness

Les Projections Mentales

Mindful chassés Amidst quixotic skirmishes Riding abstract waves - En pointe flourishes Disciplined glissandos Along illumined keys Measured tremolos Vibrating Gaia's seas Orchestrated precision Whirlpools twist Nature's decision At the turn of a wrist Enigmatic code Manifests intention From Water's abode Emerges dimension - J.

Will, Free

The term floats around through "secular" & "sacred" society as a choice weapon for debate.  As we understand it, "free will" is defined as a free choice.  But, a free choice of what?  To choose God; or not.  At this juncture, predestination and determinism enter the scene.  Common understanding of predestination is that God has already chosen who He is going to choose.  The question to this method is this:  wherein lies Grace and the Cross?  Determinism, as I understand, suggests that we have no free will because external causes impress upon us.  Herein lies the psychological nature versus nurture paradigm.  But, can Free Will be understood with a fresh lens? Before he can formulate a word, an infant takes cues off of the expressions of his caretaker's face.  As he ages, he learns to understand the dialect that is impressed upon him.  These are beautiful phenomenons.  He grows up learning the rules set down for him a...
