Stream of Consciousness

Riding above the sillies ?!
Awry is me. And askew is thee! Together we shall do better if we think of this as a jamboree😊 Co-commonly conjoined and sometimes amply carried forward “alone,” these are the ways in which we assail life.

social justice, silliness, and self. Top Story - July 2026.
dear ali, enthusiastic embracer of the everyday…and the ellipses. container of contradiction. lover of letters. (ambassador of alliteration? too much? very you!). anyway…back to lover of letters, which is where I meant to segue into my point – an accidental nod to your apparent love of the aside …brackets (parentheses) – em dashes – unnecessary, perhaps, punctuation to pivot to the persistent pings and pongs of what you once called your jukebox mind .

After The Last Line
There is an old temptation among literary critics to believe that every poet leaves behind a map. We spread the poems across a table, connect recurring images with lengths of red string, and convince ourselves that we have discovered intention. It is an attractive illusion. The dead cannot interrupt us. They cannot say, No, that cloud was only a cloud. That ghost wasn't him. That house wasn't mine.

The Biography He Never Wrote
For decades, his work circulated almost unnoticed. A handful of loyal readers praised the precision of his language. Editors admired his discipline but quietly admitted they never knew where to shelve him. His stories were too literary for genre fiction, too unsettling for mainstream realism, too restrained for those who preferred spectacle.

Chorography of Ashes
Novel may have flown this earthly plane, but her map is still being drawn. A map that lives beneath skin and outlined in the soft tissue of being. It charts no cities, no rivers, no borders ~ but it knows the terrain of loss, the coordinates of silence and the fault lines of a dissonant reaching for fulfillment in this thing we have named 'life'. For hers now yearns desperately towards the unknown and the sublime.

" — Paul Stewart, Center Stage with Paul Stewart: A Creators in the Limelight Series, Heather Hubler (2023)

The Energy
One morning when I was out walking, I started to feel an energy form inside of me. I started out as a walker moving onto a jogger and finally into a runner seemingly running a marathon of some kind. The sun felt warm on my skin, but not too warm for there was even a cool breeze blowing and my walk that turned into a run was giving me so much energy there was nothing that I could not do this day. The energy of a supreme being must have been with me on this morning walk of happiness. Prayer.
