Reborn
From ashes gray I shall arise Won’t recognize me with your eyes What I was you’ll find no more Nothing like I was before Tempered like a hardened steel Sharpened on the grinding wheel My soul is hollow, fully scraped Broken down to be reshaped Stripped of armor, stripped of pride My only fuel, this…

Discovery
In the temple of my mind Clarity I wish to find Far away from fellow man I seek to learn all that I can In solitude I feel my best Away from noise and all the rest I find the peace I’ve always sought Free from worry, free from thought As I feel the setting…

Musings of the Mind at Moonlight
I had a lot of thoughts in mind when I created this post. Now, I sit here and find I don’t have even one. Or I have a hundred too many. Hard to tell the difference sometimes when it all sounds like static. Maybe that’s why I started this post – I just wanted a…

Mother Moon
Mother Moon is watching us In her ways we can but trust Bewitching with her energy Spirits bound or spirits free Her whims we are but subject to We may deny but know it’s true On lunar waves we merely ride And trust that she is on our side Is she your friend, is she…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (12.1)
Excerpt from the journal of Korv the Barbarian. Is this all there is to life? Stagnation cutting like a knife Has the blade become this dull? Into a stupor I’ve been lulled Once was meant for greater things To fly upon immortal wings Now I merely mark my days While boredom works it’s evil ways…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (12)
Weeks had passed and Korv assumed his new role within the private army. The men were good and of hearty stock, and the wages were fair. Korv had also been granted plenty of leave time. The post was rather easy. Almost too easy, to be more accurate. Korv had been so used to the unending…

Work Ethic…
Is dead. And if it is not, it is on life support and the pulse is getting weaker. We’re starting to lose this guy… The amount of people who read a job description, apply for the job and then act all bewildered when they are expected to do said job is absolutely staggering. And the…

Sublime Perfection
Amidst the chaos and the din I search for comfort deep within While a storm may rage without A whisper born within a shout A place of center, calm and peace Where all my worries I release I send them to another plane And free myself from strife and pain A soothing breeze, a feeling…

Random Reflections
Hibernation is good and sometimes necessary. Solitude often has a negative connotation. It’s not the same as loneliness. When one feels like they have to censor themselves or walk on eggshells, especially in their own space, something is terribly wrong. If one is still long enough, they can sense the energies around them. I sense…

Cyberwhere Whensday
Yes, I meant to spell it that way. 😄 Good morning! Happy Hump Day and all that good stuff. I hope the week has been a good one so far. I am gearing up to go back to work tonight for a few days. With a little bit of luck they’ll go by quickly. As…

Both.
And guess what? So are most of us. There might be people out there who think they are cutting their own path, blazing their own trail, answering to no one, and that’s fine. You go on thinking that. Because, from where I’m sitting, most of us answer to someone. Work for a company? You probably…

Take It Easy Tuesday
Good morning all. Hope everyone is doing well on this fine Tuesday. I’m taking a slight left turn today and going in a quieter direction. Can’t be all silliness and bombast every day, right? I slept minimally yesterday, so today the plan is to just lay low and do as little as possible. It feels…

Another blogger MIA
Reblogging Alice’s post, as I too, hope Renard is ok. While it is certainly possible he just said the heck with it and bailed, Renard seemed to be a very committed blogger who was in it for the long haul. If anyone knows, and/or can share, is he ok? I don’t know if anyone has…

Mechaphysical Monday
Good day one and all. Welcome to the start of yet another week! Hopefully Lady Monday is not too cruel a mistress to you. My three day stretch is done and now I’m off for a couple. And not a moment too soon, I dare say. Why “Mechaphysical” you might be asking. Well, why not?…

More Weight!
Lifting more weight. Why? Because lifting weight makes me happy. Or, to put it another way, remain consistent with my workouts. I’ve been on a pretty good roll lately, but as I adjust to this new schedule, I have had to cut back slightly. That is fine short term, but long term, not my ideal…

Cloudy With A Chance of Zen
Up above here in the clouds Far above the din so loud A clarity of calm and peace A purity of sweet release No coming, going, to and fro Life up here, a gentle flow All senses free, it’s almost zen Releasing thoughts of where and when There is no pain, no that or this…

Starstruck Sunday
Good morning and welcome to Sunday, everyone! Hope the weekend has treated you all well and it’s been an enjoyable, relaxing one. One more shift to go and then I get my next taste of freedom. Working every other weekend has its downside, but the 5 days off the next week help make up for…

A game of extremes
Talk about one extreme to the other. At my previous job, I was averaging 14 to 16 hour workdays Monday through Friday, and 4 to 5 hours on Saturday and Sunday. And it was nonstop go, go, go. From about 4AM until 9 or 10PM on the regular. Now? I have literally gone from one…

Forked Up Friday
As another week draws to a close, I sit here tired, sore and contemplating life over coffee number two; soon to be coffee number three, for those keeping score. My moods have been up and down for a couple weeks now, as most of you are painfully aware. Quite truthfully, they still are. And that…

Peaks and Valleys
Peaks and valleys, they abound Finish one, another round Always climbing, never stops Climb again to reach the top Tired, sore and feeling lost Is the climbing worth the cost? Staring up, a peak so high Don’t think you’ll ever touch the sky But still you try, God only knows Pelted by the freezing snows…

What Do You Remember?
No Theme Thursday I remember hugging my family goodbye, not knowing what awaited me. I remember sitting on the tarmac in the dead of night. I remember seeing a Budweiser vending machine in Germany and thinking it was the coolest thing ever. I remember the first time my feet touched the desert sand and thinking…
