Floating through the void, we reach out for a hand that's not there... and if it is, we will wish we didn't reach out at all. In an anonymous interview conducted in the Spring of 1980, Michel Foucault claimed Philosophy wasn’t so much the study of wh...

Oh, the toothache, a pain so grand, It's like a tiny drill, in our mouth it lands, A throbbing ache, that just won't quit, A funny feeling, that makes us writhe and flit.   It starts so small, a little twinge, And then it grows, a full-on cringe, We...

Of colors and shades, the world is made, A tapestry of hues, to be surveyed, From red to blue, from green to gold, A symphony of colors, to behold.   The sky above, a canvas so vast, Painted with hues, that forever last, A palette of blue, of pink an...

Pain Grips

When pain grips our heart and soul, And our world turns black as coal, It's hard to see a way ahead, When all we feel is fear and dread.   But we must remember, we are strong, And we have the power to move along, Despite the hurt and sorrow inside, W...
