I wish the frigid, promised kiss of winter didn’t accompany the sun of these late-summer days Because then I could just open my arms unconditionally to the golden, warm haze of these too-short afternoons. Today I got off of work, carrying a basket of supplies to my far-parked car. I smiled at the blue sky,ContinueContinue reading “On flowers and summer and Detroit”

I met some missionaries!
On Monday a crew of people showed up at my little-church for noon:fifteen mass and I was like, “Hey.” And they were like, “We’re from Colorado on mission to Detroit.” So I was like, “Cool story, bro, I’m going to sit over here and pray.” Not really, but kind of. Then I saw them againContinueContinue reading “I met some missionaries!”

What I Wore Wednesday
So I was driving to work-y stuff today, though Detroit, and I came across this dewd strutting proudly across the street like he didn’t give a good American darn. When he got to the Boulevard and the light turned red and there was no one behind me I snatched this photo. DETROIT IS SO COOL!!ContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”
Christmas Magic | Uno
Subtitled: HOW GOOD, EXCESSIVELY FRAGMENTED THOUGHT Rough outline, because otherwise this makes no sense: Story Other story Things that are cool about Christmas Quote that is neat, but doesn’t really tie into anything It still doesn’t make sense…but, at least you have an outline. On Monday Julia texted me all, “Should I dress cute orContinueContinue reading “Christmas Magic | Uno”
Is she working on any projects at the moment. COUGH. OF COURSE.
I’m working on things. This is who I am as a person, generally, and sometimes I just gotta TELL THE THINGS, and I was going to text this one dewd like, “LISTEN TO ALL OF THE REASONS WHY LIFE IS WORTH LIVING AT THIS PARTICULAR MOMENT,” because I had already told (and I count, mentally)ContinueContinue reading “Is she working on any projects at the moment.

Such words. Much length. Very racial injustices and how I don’t know how to love as I should
Monday I went running. I ran the farthest I’ve ever run, which isn’t actually far, only five miles, because Christine is training for a half-marathon and I’ve been training for the halves of her half-marathon so that when she runs the loops twice, I only run them once. Don’t judge. It’s my own form ofContinueContinue reading “Such words. Much length. Very racial injustices and how I don’t know how to love as I should”
Flowers from glass shards
Here’s a non-secret: I work in Detroit. And as long as we’re sharing non-secrets: Detroit is riddled with crime and poverty. That was obvious, wasn’t it? But, here’s a second secret: the suburbs of Detroit are riddled with crime and poverty, too. The suburbs are surrounded by racism, in our hearts…and that’s both a crimeContinueContinue reading “Flowers from glass shards”
Went to a Gospel concert on Sunday <3
Show me a people who have known deep suffering, and I’ll show you a people who know how to talk to God, plead with God, walk with God, praise God. Show me a young girl singing to Jesus and I will honestly show you an auditorium of grown men crying. (Yes. That happened). Sing andContinueContinue reading “Went to a Gospel concert on Sunday <3”
