Home. Something yet everything. One place yet many meanings. Sometimes, near. Other times, so far. Yet, it can be felt. A place of protection. A realm of freedom. Somewhere we can be ourselves.

Alone
Do you ever feel alone, Even in a crowd? Even when there's room For no more? Do you ever feel alone, Even when everyone is Nice to you, Giving you enough to be grateful? Do you ever feel alone, Even when there's so much Sound around you, Making it no more than noise? Do you [...]
Soap Bubbles
Floating in the air, They come near me, Telling a different story Of a faraway land. Showing off their colours, They come near me, Telling of how a myriad Can live together.

Do you know why we feel embarrassed? It's because we weigh someone else's opinion more than our own. We acknowledge that they know it better than us. We submit to them. Should we? I spent a large part of my life worrying about what others think of me. Maybe they did think those very things [...]

Our Christmas Star
