Outbursting

Outbursting out loud. Sneezing directly into my cat’s face. Sorry. He knows I’m sorry, knows I’m basically gentle, and kind. I feel like in another life he taught me these.

Haunted Friday Morning

Did you hear that? Hear what? Listen! Wha… What the fuck was that? A door slams. (When I was a kid in high school, a friend and I ran by and slammed the door of a music hall.) After meditation, a man says to me that he’s really been picking up on the spirits around…… Continue reading Haunted Friday Morning
