I’m currently reading a couple of books. I’m working hard at not constantly starting books and then putting them down to start a new book, ah because I’m always buying books. Just FYI, I’m not a huge fiction reader. I lean towards history or esoteric books (they, too contain a lot of history). Physically Reading […]

My whole life had been a lie. Well, not in the sense you may think. I’m not even sure how it happened, the sudden realization. I grew up in a family where everyone felt the world was against them. This is not a belief that is outwardly discussed. It’s a pattern that weaves itself in […]

A Life of Existing It’s funny how a song crosses your path and hits the very note of the feeling you’ve been exploring. I’ve had the idea of just existing on my mind lately. I remember hearing “Where Have All The Cowboys Gone” by Paula Cole as a child. I remember it hitting my heart […]

Throughout the day, I’ll have light bulb moments that I want to write about, and now here I am, with no idea what to write about. I’m going to the Morning Page it and type until something is uncovered. So I’ll talk about my day. When I got up this morning, I was surprised to […]
