Into the Woods
Hollywood always seems to make things more than what they are. People seem more interesting, places become more desirable, and age becomes a myth. We walk out on movies and write Rotten Tomato reviews swearing that real people are less predictable in real life. We couldn’t possibly be that boring or that dense.
I would beg to differ.
It’s hard to say that we aren’t as real as...

A Year of the Sea
The Labyrinth is surrounded by a beach of white sand and clear water. The wind by the shores of a break through follow my days here. It’s a nostalgia that hasn’t left me since that April Sunrise. There are hints of it everywhere, until it blows through my fingers and escapes me.
I’m always trying to work towards something, and feel like I have to do things to make them better....

Confessions of an Athlete
Here is a very old blog off of my myspace from 2007. So much fueled my writing then. It’s something I hope to never loose.
Speed
Speed is a very interesting thing. For some it’s natural, but for me it’s not. I worked for it until it became a part of me. I eventually learned that there are two ways people run. 1. Some run towards the finish line. 2. Others, like me, run away...

Instinct
As Humans, we are instinctive creatures.At our core, there are two essential elements-to love and to live.
Our cultural focus is so greatly placed on love, particularly with romance, that we forget to fully live our lives. Especially since the average person doesn’t really get what it means to love. If we understood the full depths of “I love you”, then a lot of things would be...

Help TWLOHA bring Heavy and Light to Cities →
Heavy and Light is an evening of conversation, music, and hope. This night is an expression of real things that aren’t talked about. It’s a night I personally have never forgotten and I know you won’t either. Please help make this happen if you believe that hope is real.

The things I write about and post on Stained Glass Window deserve more conversations. Deeper conversations. The fan page is a place for the conversation to take place. Post what moves you, what makes you, and especially what helps you to escape.

I've Got Something.
reneeyohe:
I have been (we all are, each of us, all the time) fighting for my life. There’s that broken record repeating in the background; not the nice old crackle that this culture romanticizes, not the song playing over and over that makes you smile, but the irksome repetitive song that I have been trying to get out of my head… this song should wait to be an appropriate dirge when I have...

Chasing Summerset
Life is full of so many beautiful things. Sometimes they are elements of fiction, but the finest elements always come from reality. They stick with more than any of the fictional concepts I treasure. This is mainly because they are examples of times something actually worked out the way it was meant to be. Those are the beautiful snap shots, that inspire a replication on my own life’s...

The Stealing Season
Leaving behind the midnight of a new day, she ran through the night with silent screams in her eyes. Nothing made sense except her feet on the pavement. The power of a thought moved her to chase still places, although her legs and mind continued to race. A staleness filled the air, despite its bad taste she breathed it in. Her lungs are grateful for the empty element, yet offer no reward for the...
