The Answer
The Answers of why, Up to the sky my eyes gaze, More questions I find.

Extending a Hand not Hatred
I need to take a break from the net, social media can be so tiresome and the amount of ignorance that comes across the screen is absolutely insufferable at times. I found myself quarrelling online, with the obtuse, after watching the documentary, "Will and Harper" a few days ago. It was such a moving display of human vulnerability and compassion, demonstrating how we should positively accept and understand our fellow LGBTQ+ human beings, who may be dealing with a tremendous amount of fear and anxiety because of the differences in their psychological and physiological makeup. The emotions this movie raised within me, no doubt fueled the exasperation I felt with those vilifying and condemning Will for his understanding and Harper for her existence.

Murder in the Morning
Flight flocks pepper the pale haze of the blue early morning sky. They belligerently fill the firmament with chaotic caws and cries.

Paris Summer Morning
Where Cobblestone streets, the overhead tram, and brick buildings meet. The early morning air permeated with the cafes' and bakeries' treats.

Tattoos, not Love,
On my arm, a tattoo with your name. Love, it’s permanence not the same. Promised, once upon a time. To Be, until Death’s chime.

Call 2 Duty
Underwear no streaks nor stains it’s Communist propaganda, indoctrinating Americans into Potty-trained chains.

Happy Presidents Day America
Monday February 19, was Presidents Day. A day we set aside in the United States to celebrate all those that have served as President, but most notably since 1879 as the day America honors our first President, and one of the founding fathers, George Washington. As a retired member of the U.S. military, the day brought about reflection on my service, all 4 of the Commander in Chiefs I served under during my 24 year career, and growing into understanding how our sociopolitical complexities lead us to view our President more as a Dictator, rather than the democratically-elected Chief Executor of our country's laws, as our Constitution more conservatively implies.

Note to Lilly
Today was perfect. Sunday morning - I awoke to meet an early day of gray, a thick marine layer was rolling in to blanket our oceanside town. As I gaze from our home to the water and beyond - the boats looked as if in the sky they'd drown.

Mushrooms
The amber tint of glasses brighten the view, the sun has not shown in weeks. Unprotected, the fog penetrates to the bone. The persistent heavy gloom, fitting for what lies ahead.

Sickness Seeking Solace
Societal shrewdness subjugates, stressed sapient spiteful. Spleens sow suspicion, someone shamed sedates. School smiling students, supposed secure safe.

Good Vibes Ally
America has come a long way in a short period of time; however, we still have some more ground to cover when it comes to accepting all people no matter their creed or sexuality. A month full of awareness and support is a great way to demonstrate support for our LGBTQ communities, as well as being made aware of the struggles they still face in feeling comfortable openly in society amongst the so called 'normal' people.
