Island Life

Two best friends don't tell each other secrets. 
They don't know that though.

Individually they're trusting in a wayfaring stranger. One romantically. The supporting friend is talking to do some investigating and be vigilant. 

During their opposing third-party conversations secrets appear that they've held from each other. They trust in the traveler... As good folks should. But, these sprinkles of innocence have burnt. They've shared beyond with him. More than with one another.

They do not trust easily. Sharing their separate talks back to one another like a war room. However, it's become clear they have deceived one another. There must be action. Cut away this new chapter. Back to the rough draft. Unkempt friendship. 

Actions of ingratitude for this new revelation. Sharing only possible by way of new trust with an outsider. Yet, unclean. Baring a different scroll from the catacombs of their soul. Fresh ground never meant for the old confidant.

Best of friends divided by truth. Causation to bar the door for the wandering stranger. A new dimension to their everlasting relationship. Filtered by shame and cauterized by ugly deeds. Collective ingratitude. Tithing no one shall ever count.

Girlfriend Application

  by: Michael L. Craver This is the result of a quarter-century of time, hundreds of thousands of messages, and common sense. My best advice is to think hard... Show enthusiasm and creativity and tell the complete truth. The more well-thought out and precise every answer is, the better off everyone will be.  Here we go... 1.       Describe your transportation situation (i.e., own, rent, lease, hitchhiking): 2.       Describe your living situation (i.e., owner, renter, squatting, halfway house): 3.       Describe your career situation (i.e., full-time, part-time, crowdfunded, welfare): 4.       What is your availability (work schedule, custody, commitments)? 5.       Have you participated in adult entertainment (defined as selling photos, videos, performing on stage, or otherwise NSFW content with or without pay): 6.  ...

The M Path

by Michael L. Craver Giving birth is the beginning of a new journey. Changing times mean no path is certain. The chance to succeed or fail is beyond any math or science… An obligation to evasively maneuver the winding roads that will remain under construction for eternity. Carrying a weight of unknown potential and sacrificing every moment going forward- the gravity of decisions. The quality of our future depends on the choices of caregivers. The idea of ‘self’ is an extension of one’s body and incorporates everything that affects us. Doing for another is a karmic offering to the environment around us. The many moving elements of the world help determine each butterfly effect. What we do for ourselves includes the deeds toward others that bounce back our way. Mothers are the ultimate scientists. Raising these live studies in humanity. Mixing the need for compassion and emotional balance with the bold truth of where the world is today. Having to choose what may or will be… Many th...
