Poetry & Prose
I tend to write as a way to process what's uncomfortable. I'll go a year without writing and when the next turbulence hits me, I might write 30 pieces in a few months. I've often wished I could say something about the other side of my experiences. The times when I'm stunned by the beauty around me. Or my thoughts about meditation and beingness. I've admired those who's writings have inspired me...but, that's not what writing is for me. So you'll notice that the topics are more weighty than lighthearted, carry more angst than contentment and more anger than joy.
This is only a small sampling of my writing. I have tried to select pieces that have more universal appeal, rather than those that are simply focused on my own narcissistic process. Unfortunately, there is nothing posted from the last 8 years or so, primarily because I haven't gone through journals to type them up.
As a therapist who often works with issues around sexuality, I feel that the open discussion of sexuality is critical to the full expression of our humanity. As such, I have included a few writings that are sexually explicit in nature. All writing with sexually explicit material is inappropriate for those underage, as such, a password is required to access these poems.

Something to ponder
The thought manifests as the word.
The word manifests as the deed.
The deed develops into habit.
Habit hardens into character.
So watch the thought and its ways with care
And let it spring out of love
Born out of concern for all beings.
As the shadow follows the body,
As we think so we become
Dhammapada. The Buddha
