Unbearable
Photo by Leon Macapagal from Pexels Life’s not Baseball… fair, or foul, you are expected to run the bases. The plane would only take a few hours to get there. A place where nobody knew you, no connections past a few names to look up, and a location to get to. The need is overwhelming, a constant drone…

Finding America
Photo by Edgar Colomba from Pexels An idealism grew into a country, which grew into a concept. Your beliefs about this country, about the world, is wrong. You immediately want to challenge that statement, go after what is…

Gratitude of Friends
Just a little ditty for a friends 28th sober anniversary. A grateful head is bowed tonight, Awash in love, and points of light. The strength and hope, and answered prayers, The grace and joy, and friendships shared. Has brought me to a peace in life, Serenity through the darkest plight. I share this…

Breaking Humanity
You can paint your worlds any which way you like them. You can believe that this country and its people are this and that… But this is who we are. I grew up in a dysfunctional family, learned to manipulate people and events, to lie and to cheat from an early age. It wasn’t that…

The New Myans
The New Mayans Is modern religion too savage for humanities future? The rituals and traditions were savage and brutal. Human life was not a sacred right, as much as a tool of appeasing the Gods. They must be enlightened, and brought into the new world… As much as this sounds like the beginning of the Spanish…

Healing Hard
Maybe it’s from the suicidal idolization thinking that I held for so many years, an escape mechanism from the overwhelming that I find myself here again. Maybe it’s the recovery and different life’s my own life has held, that I feel it is my part to say something, anything. Maybe it’s just the lives that…

Planting Now’s in the Gardens of Then
Planting Now’s in the Gardens of Then Curating a path to being in the emotional present. While pondering a word prompt, patience, from another piece, the umpire-ical outlook on the natures of us that I tend to fall down took hold. As I examined my patience that metaphysical door opened up a bit. I must be…

The Curious Commodity of Common Sense
The Curious Commodity of Common Sense You may not know how you know, and that’s the problem. American patriot Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet a few hundred years ago, that curiously says quite a bit about where we stand today as a country. About seven years ago, I heard the saying that you didn’t get…

The Sacrificed
The Sacrificed Stop looking to the past for answers to school shootings. The ability to breathe has been taken away from me. That’s not a nod to the poetic, I have physically lost my breath, overwhelmed… again. wendel moretti — Pexels The smiles can only be seen in pictures, the joys of friendship are just…

Humans and Dark Matter
Humans and Dark Matter The root systems of higher functions Photo by Rakicevic Nenad from Pexels Most of us have heard the term dark matter, or dark energy. While most just check it off as science stuff, over the head, and the…

Gilligan
It’s been months since I visited this introspect development area. It’s not for reasons of neglect as much as growth, or change? I haven’t been able to decipher the answer to that yet, maybe that’s why I am here now on my walkabout? This look at the cast members that perform in my psyche, as…

Surrogates of Sexism
In a world of double standards, is the torch is being passed? Misogyny is going to be spoken of quite a bit over this election cycle. With the amount of women running for President at an all time high, the need for discertion and understanding will be necessary. That word will be brought out and…

Appropriation of Hate
An incident at a local college has stirred up controversy among those who picked up on something during the reporting. The incident apparently started with a student that has conservative views and a meeting of a group she was forming. It is said that someone took exception to her efforts and tried to hit her…

Reality Roulette
In engineering terms, a datum is a point in which a part or object is measured from, a fixed position. Each point thereafter can be measured against the datum for accuracy and functionality. The reason for this is simple, mechanisms don’t work if the parts don’t fit together properly. Call me the ever curious kid,…

Salem Syndrome 2020
“You aren’t going to get the job… You’re going to go to prison… They’re going to kill me!” All of the self talk that has more than likely happened at least once in our lives. I myself can apply a few memories to those voices, but like anyone I know, I have thought those same…

Acts and thoughts of the common man and his best friend Hobbes the Cat.
To write to me is to explore, from the very top to the deepest core. That part human sometimes unseen. Compiled of the many things, that show themselves in acts and words. Such as kindness that is returned. So take to heart one soul am I, though heartfelt are these words of mine; To approve or accept not, is yours, like mine… Simply a thought.
