Cali Dreamin

I have found a place amidst the wasteland
of myself
you can see straight through to the bottom
clear, and bright like liquid serenity.
I have found a place amidst the desert 
of myself
it holds the pieces of our past
millions of glimmering sand bits
of hope
jaw bones and giant hunks of our mountainside
rest beneath the current
ecstatic palms shoot out their arms,
some yearn for a taste of the ocean.
I have found a place where I can be
of myself
where the sun can whisper to my bones
the aqua tongue continues
licking
licking
licking the edges
until the shoreline has no choice but to melt
pulled into that slow dance.
I have found a place that reminds me
of myself
floating over, and under, the peaks
being drawn far away to dark water
that does not resemble this place, my oasis
verdant on it’s soft jawline
asks me to close my eyes
erase the memories etched behind these lids
eradicate the rotten innards of my skull
pluck the tangled kelp from my bowel.
I have found a place that is the savior
of myself
The waves of this place, the humming
and pulsing of the sea
can be seen across the yellow beams of sunlight
and heard when, 
softly and hidden, 
the moon chants to the water
cooing, 
flirting from far away.
I have found a place that I made
of myself
I don’t know if it’s really there,
except 
when I can feel the powdered sugar
sand between my toes
and the crystals have changed my lips into
salty
soft pink geodes.
I know it’s there when I close my eyes
and the ruffled leaves wordlessly chatter to themselves
but I see their mouthes move,
I see the way they bow, also

in awe of the place I have found.

A song of fire

I haven't felt the fire lately.
More of a drowning sensation
each day I am submerging deeper within the waves
and further from a breath of air

It's hard to say if I will rise again
but
maybe I will come about full
circle, back from the watery grave

As I tunnel through the cold muddy trenches
I can't help but wonder where the flame has gone

and then I realize
I have been the one hiding it from myself all along
lying on the embers
letting it lick my sides
and all I need to do
is get out of the way

just a mental tidbit

Image result for alice in wonderland rabbit hole

It’s days like this,
days like this 
when I wonder where this path will go.
On and on down this rabbit hole
no marked destination,
just the scandal of my intrepid soul.

The Complete Breakfast shake!



The great thing about this shake is that it gets EVERYTHING done all at once!
You get your caffeine fix, your protein, and some extra nutrients to keep you full all morning!
I named this beauty the coffee cake protein shake because it tastes like that wonderful dense cake from Starbucks! (without ANY of the guilt)

What you'll need:

1 scoop Vanilla Protein powder (I used Vega brand plant based protein)
1tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp cloves
2 medjool dates
unsweetened vanilla almond milk (as much as necessary for blending and desired thickness)
coffee (cold brew is best)
ice
and frozen cauliflower!!

blend well for at least 30 seconds and enjoy!

super satisfying and super simple

attempting a new type of poetry


Part 1

Can you guess what has bested me today?
An unmeasurable power
bound only by those who choose to see it bound.
It’s weightless as it seeps through a set of teeth
only to settle 
and crush any hearts that have been let off their leash.

______________________________________________________________________

Part 2

I’ve decided to bequeath this day to you.
Even rodents and scavengers deserve their day of glory.
but
swift is the passing of the sun from crest to crest,
swifter is my retribution. 
Yes, you have won this day,
but even as you read this your glory fades..
seconds have passed and
I have stolen each one of them from you
using that same unmeasurable power.
