And I see you looking back
walking underneath yourself
While trust waits
Sometimes a five year old
has the most confidence
and why shouldn’t they
and why should we
It’s as if the five year old
has a soul
an infinite soul
-M. Taggart
when it hits, I write
i’m so sorry i’m so behind. I see you.
The biggest blindfold we have is death. -M. Taggart
Don’t take
That’s my building in the background.
Up she goes,
Building a company from scratch isn’t easy.
they say opportunity knocks once.
that isn’t true.
which one you feel passion for-
that’s where you’ll find the path

I apologize for not being there for some of you.
I drive by this cemetery once a week.
For nearly two years I’ve been telling
myself to stop and take a photo.
I found myself pulling over and
getting out of my truck on the anniversary
of my Father’s death.
It was time. The weather was nice.
Leaves were falling and the sun was out.
It was slightly damp and I could smell
the sweetness of the trees readying for
the oncoming winter by shedding their
seeds. Some of these seeds will be eaten.
Some will nestle into the earth and cover
themselves deep enough to live again.
Even though my father was buried a
few hundred miles from where I stood,
I could feel him with me. I believe he
knew what I was doing and why I had
finally stopped to take this photograph.
It’s my belief that to live this life without
fear, you must not be afraid of death.
I believe that the famous line, The Truth
Shall Set You Free, is directly tied to this.
I think it’s no coincidence that I repeatedly
told my father that I will not live in fear,
before having realized exactly what that
meant to me.
No wonder I love leaves.

The addiction
to want to live
is beautiful
-M. Taggart
We are not a world of logic.
We are a world of emotion,
and control.
Those with abusive emotions, control.
-M. Taggart
Myself asked
what’s so good about a cigar
It calms me down
Unless the smoke rises too fast
and then it’s too late
Myself let the cigar nearly die
and cigar let Myself live
-M. Taggart
I like scars, and would rather them being on the outside. -M. Taggart
Bullet point your pain
Then ask someone to read it out loud
-M. Taggart
Every footstep,
causing dishes to clang,
reminds him of his failure.
-M. Taggart
