Writer, dreamer, strategic thinker following my heart and living my life from the inside out
There are some things time cannot change. You happen to be one of them. You are the shark circling the place where the riptide's current ends. I used to believe the end of you would be the end of me. Your scars were mine to carry. This curse that curses us both. You are unresolved,... Continue Reading →
There's a space inside that unhinges when I'm asleep. Where all my unresolved moments, suppressed feelings and unthinkable thoughts announce themselves in the dark, always in the quiet. The gathered residue hangs humid in the air long after the day has, reminding me of life left unfinished. In the place that's called a dream, I... Continue Reading →
While driving home after an evening spent producing a Skype conversation for Omega's Ecstatic Chant between Ram Dass in Hawaii and Jai Uttal with Shyamdas in New York, I was struck with the realization that everywhere in the world could potentially be home. Home, for me, is no longer defined by my familiarity with my surroundings,... Continue Reading →

Whether we dated or not,... Continue Reading →

Something deep inside is propelling their need. Something deep inside of you may see what it is that blocks them. But... Continue Reading →

She put her foot on my thigh and 1-2-3 she was inside the window. When I was younger, I remember climbing out my bedroom window after an... Continue Reading →
You speak between the lines, A secret to decode. No sense of where to stand, But in between, there is something like love. The flint, the spark, the flame, Lava's liquid sharpness, Igneous, formed from fire. You sweat, but we do not burn. Adrenaline buzzed with fever, I held you wet in my arms. Sick with...

There's a resurgence going on in America. Organic. Local-food culture. Farm-to-table. Chefs are celebrities. Reality cooking and baking shows are on every cable channel.
