May 2016 – No Strings Attached
https://mikaelalaura.wordpress.com/2016/05
When did dependency become a license for disposal? May 14, 2016. When did dependency signify worthlessness? There are foundational misconceptions on which hinge a woman’s right to abort. One of them is that her privileged uterus has the right to choose whether or not it wants to house the human being who dwells inside of it. I have a right to my uterus, to do what I want with it. This is a sobering misconception. When did dependency become a reason to devalue? Part of being human is to be frail, it is to...

The needs of the soul – No Strings Attached
https://mikaelalaura.wordpress.com/2017/01/03/the-needs-of-the-soul
The needs of the soul. January 3, 2017. Like camels in Sudan we ride. Wearily along to catch the evening’s tide. To feel the soft breath of daylight’s kiss. In comes the golden weather. Hot sands become as pools beneath my feet. To swim, to feast, to dive. We caught the evening’s tide, alright. We ran beneath the setting sun. We tasted of divine love. While all the worlds lay still before us. Flashbacks of a former life, a former good. Can one go back to who they were? Like camels in the night we ride.

The liberator vs. the perpetrator. January 20, 2017. We are all one bread and one body, for we are all partakers of one bread and of one cup. –St. Paul. I think one of the main reasons I haven’t particularly liked past conversations with peers who had a lot of things to say against “the Church” is because their objections seemed to be entangled in the rantings of a self-righteousness person (which is ironic). 8221; “Sure.” I said. 8220;Oh yeah, what happened? He said what he was gonna do now was to go fi...

A story about the fragility of falling in love and things you find at the bottom of it. October 18, 2016. A story about the fragility of falling in love and what you find at the bottom of it. The boy pulled up on his bike outside of Starbucks. The girl didn’t notice him. Her sister, however, did notice him and whispered in the girl’s infant ears, “I’m gonna marry that guy.”. Same as your name.” He smiled back. “Yup, I know about Copeland,” he said. First they went to Panera, the boy opened the car door f...

July 2014 – No Strings Attached
https://mikaelalaura.wordpress.com/2014/07
The Dawn of Autumn. July 18, 2014. August 31, 2014. What frozen waters, held images of living creatures,. Now thawed, give life to schools of fish. Moving beneath the water;. Moving Springs passed into Summer. Bathed in heat she dips her wing in a cool pool of water, blue water as blue as the sky and you can’t tell which is which, still the sun burns bright when she flies through the sky. The lark waits for the dawn of Autumn. For the sky never felt so light upon her wings as in Autumn. July 17, 2014.

April 2016 – No Strings Attached
https://mikaelalaura.wordpress.com/2016/04
April 23, 2016. When I was in school we had a session on dealing with death. We had to get in groups and practice putting the identification tag on the right big toe of the deceased patient. During labs we practiced putting mannequins in body bags. Alas, only real life can truly prepare you for real life. The reason she was at the hospital is because she was in the kitchen trying to reach something. Her husband tried catching her but instead she just fell through him like a domino. She had gone from gett...

November 2015 – No Strings Attached
https://mikaelalaura.wordpress.com/2015/11
The power of singleness. November 10, 2015. November 3, 2016. Popular movies and songs imply the power of romantic love to bring joy. I wanted to share some thought’s I’ve had lately concerning the alternative– the unspoken power of singleness. When I’m socializing with patients on the geriatrics ward, the elderly folks always want to know if I’m married. When they find out that I am not, “Oh, why, I’m surprised! But the more I think about it, the more I start to think that pity is an unfair response to ...

Dec. 28 – No Strings Attached
https://mikaelalaura.wordpress.com/2016/12/28/dec-28
December 28, 2016. A Poem about “acceptance”. If I had made another choice. If I had seen with different eyes. Would I have lived a different life? I could have escaped the turmoil. All those hideous words. Was the child I used to be. Squashed down, forbid to come out. 8216;This is glorious you see, to really bow the knee. Serve another man’s vision,. The rewards will come later. Just keep singing, let’s all join in together’. On and on and on. I would have risen up. I would have been a free person,.

Once upon a time – No Strings Attached
https://mikaelalaura.wordpress.com/2014/06/23/once-upon-a-time
Once upon a time. June 23, 2014. April 24, 2016. One day there was a rain drop that fell onto a puddle. It immediately felt sad and invisible, unrecognizable. The little drop is forgotten, though many little feet run through the puddle. What’s left of it, car tires run over. Flown to a field, finds a home upon a blade of grass. There he shone, gleaming. A drop once more, with boundaries and shape,. Noticed once again, by a simple ant who lived close by. View all posts by mikaelalaura. October 18, 2015.
