good flesh
for most of my life
I tried so hard
to push down my
“sin” nature
when all that time
it was really just
my “nature” nature
and there wasn’t
a damn thing
wrong with it

This is a poem from my new book, whole, which is now READY TO PREORDER. And I have the biggest biggest favor. Would you preorder a copy TODAY and help me achieve my dream of a 3-digit ranking on Amazon? (even if it’s just long enough to capture a screenshot)
Pretty please and thank you! And spread the word! Can’t wait for you to read book 3 in my poetry trilogy! (if you want to read an early PDF—like TODAY—sign up for my launch team HERE)
Anybody else still working out the whole sin nature vs. nature nature thing?
one of my first realizations in my long questioning/curiosity about how i was raised is just encountering babies and toddlers and anyone under say 10 years old and being like "there's no way they're sinning, they can't even formulate thoughts about the world yet, they're just overwhelmed and need help instead of being shamed about their perfectly natural behavior".
I can't wait to read your new book and relate so much to your writing. I definitely am still working through the "sin" nature vs. "nature" nature...turns out I'm allowed to feel all my feelings, that it isn't selfish to love myself and take care of my body, that I can listen to and trust my intuition, etc. I know you know... it feels so good to know we aren't alone.
