Raise Your Voice
A Poem I Wrote in High School
A voice, a call, a life
Whispering wanting to be heard
Don’t deny it
Please don’t hide it
It’s been silent far too long
When troubles make you self-destructive
Raise your voice in a call for help
When you can’t see the light of day
Raise your voice and someone will be there
If you muffle or silence a voice calling out for help
Everything will remain the way it is
Your life will still be painful
Your words remain unspoken
Your life could near its end
Raise your voice if you want to be heard
Raise your voice if you wish for change
Raise your voice and you will be helped
Raise your voice and your life will change
From that first step towards the light
The first time you feel okay
The first day you don’t meet that darkness
Each time something changes it starts a chain reaction
Another situation solved
Another life saved
Another person facing what they’d rather leave behind
Raise your voice and you will be heard

What if no birth happens?
To remember that our collective human experience is woven into the fabric of a vast and intricate tapestry. Reflecting on the universal phenomenon of birthdays, we find ourselves confronted with the humbling reality of our existence. Despite the individual significance we attach to our special day, the sheer volume of births occurring globally serves as a reminder of our shared humanity. On any given day, hundreds of thousands of babies enter the world, each one adding to the tapestry of human history.

Hall of mirrors
Things used to matter, before all the noise. And at that time when things still had meaning, there had been dreaming too, when dreams still mattered. And the brightest dream from those times was full of mountains and seas and smiles and the types of passion that absorbs you the way a dog is absorbed by witnessing something for the first time: with absolute presence, and awe.
