Let's be very clear: Strong men - men who are truly role models - don't need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful. People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together.

If you love someone, you say it.
You say it right then, out loud. Otherwise, the moment just... passes you by.

the most difficult thing is to love.
Actually, the most difficult thing is to feel loved—

Poem for your Thursday
I Wonder If I Need the Rapture or
If I Could Just Swallow A
Catastrophe and Call It Good
~ Kelli Russell Agodon
—In a perfect world, we would slow dance with someone we love,/Turn off the news when a javelin is thrown through the screen into your heart —

That's Someone's Son
Recently, I heard a woman in public say
but that's someone's son—
—filled with sadness, tired of hearing bad behavior defended
I said
I'm someone's daughter
I didn't deserve any of the horrible things brought on me by someone's son!
