It doesn’t want,
It doesn’t flaunt.
Most of all, it doesn’t shame —
It shares in blame.
It kids,
It chides,
It never hides.
Love is this.
And it is that.
It lifts you up —
But it’s never flat.
And most of all,
To feel it at all —
You must
Fall.

Why I'm Here
I share daily reflections on Scripture, the Tao, and mythologies. These aren't sermons — they're fragments of a walk with God.
Some days it's fire. Some days it's fog.
I'm not here to perform. I'm here to testify.

🐺 A new poem
For anyone who’s ever worn the wrong skin,
bit their own tongue,
or forgotten how to howl.
Sheepish Wolf and Hollering Dogs
by Raphael Hythloday/Wittgenstein's Monster/Eshu Elegbara/Clint
Once upon a time there was a wolf
that dreamed he was a sheep
While he slept a deep sleep,
he forgot how to leap.

Dance, times five — it fits.
Rooted in my seat.
Sorry for myself, always.
