I embrace an eclectic life, tastes, and friends. I love to listen to people - to induce talking about their past. Sometimes, their voices end up in my writing. For grammar perfectionists, allow me to apologize in advance, as I write for the casual reader, not the professional readers. My passions include my family, music, working in electronics, mechanics, stone, and concrete. Better to know a little bit about everything than everything about one thing. Quote from Pascal.
Treading My Path

Soul Direction
And, the stillness of the night, gives way slyly to the red hues of the birthing sun. Silence is pregnant and full now, goose bumps flow on my arms and engorge me during this change.

Christmas, 2019, a turning point in disrespect
Ahh Don't you feel it? I do. I feel a change in the very air, where my opinion, my thoughts cannot be squashed by those unwilling to allow me to have my opinion, my thoughts. I can say Merry Christmas. To those that are offended, I am sort of sorry, sort of not. My life … Continue reading Christmas, 2019, a turning point in disrespect
Let the Arrogant find God
So many sad and hungry, so many confused, so many refusing, thank you I am not one. Let the poor find plenty, let the lonely find love, let the hungry find bread, let the arrogant find God.

A Wrap of Slumber
Within my wraps of slumber as the northern cold robs warmth from the air, I almost remember my mother, as if she lay next to me there, I want to reach out to her but with limbs just like lead, she turns away from me slowly, just a tiny reach from there. I want to … Continue reading A Wrap of Slumber

Listen, to the silence between the raindrops, The gentle sound of water hitting that old tin roof, But still, in between lies my feeling of solace and peace and wanting, These old eyes look up into the darkness, remembering the youth long gone, the loves I had trashed, and the energy wasted, yet, I … Continue reading Silence Between the Raindrops
