Archived Poetry

I went back to an old site I had created to post all the poetry I wrote in college and before. No, I will not divulge the address to this site. I will share small glimpses of different phrases I can still appreciate today. Mismatch fractions of old pieces. -----

For if this were a movie, I’d fast-forward to the end. Then rewind back And slo-mo through again.

-----

Play with the metaphors around you for you are surpassing the literal and catching a glimpse of God

------

The sun is liquid. I can see the puddles on the branches. Sunshine drips through naked trees, refracting straight toward the ground.

-------

If I placed my heart on the line would you be there to pick it up?

------

It's the way your eyes are so big I could never find my way out of them.

Pastor's Workplace

I do not work at the church My workplace is more than a framed picture of life

My workplace is mortared in narrative where the story of one connects the stories of each other brick

I do not work at the church My workplace is congregation

You're Welcome: Young Me, Now Me

I'm gonna start a reoccurring post idea here called: "You're Welcome".

Every once in a while you come across a website that just steals your attention right from under you. You may not even know why, but you find yourself just mindlessly clicking through because you just have to see one...more...post.

These will be things I find to share with you; things before you thank me for showing, I'll just say, "You're welcome!"

Several months ago, I came across Young Me, Now Me by a guy named Ze Frank.

The idea is that people contribute pictures of them when they were much younger along with a picture of them today re-enacting that same picture to the strongest detail they can.

Take a break from thinking for a second and go enjoy.

*I also heard that Young Me, Now Me was recently highlighted on Modern Family. Its Tivo'd. Don't ruin it for me.

Forever a favorite

This poem by Anis Mojgani may be one of my, if not THE, favorite poem. I believe I have posted this before, but I do like the video this person has made out of it. If you never have heard this before, shake the dust. If you HAVE heard it before, shake the dust, again. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuydRgVxWg4&w=560&h=349]
