The Homeplace

I received a call from a gentleman, who owned a summer home in nearby Kibler Valley. He wanted me to look at a white ash slated for removal. It was a Sunday afternoon, so I told Cameron to load the boys and we might get to see the inside of this beautiful, restored farmhouse. Indeed, we did. The... Sign in to see full entry.

The Need To Know

In life, nothing is assured; yet, we humans act as if it were. Whence came the insecurity: from the choice, or from the outcome that continues to elude its captor? The reckoning comes as an answer to its call, however unintentional it might be. Rest is not assured to those who claim certainty as an... Sign in to see full entry.

Inner Struggle

Being a master of deception, the human mind attempts to identify its inner discord outside itself, and then uses what it has found to justify doing it. Yet, the mind has never been meant to be a master, as whatever falls beneath its power is certain to wither and die. Surely there must be more to a... Sign in to see full entry.

Scarifaction

The inner truth of a situation is oft hidden by the veneer of appearances, much as the hull of a seed serves to protect itself from the elements during its maturation process. Yet, just as a seed must become scarified to become a living entity, one's appearances must be seen as a hindrance to growth... Sign in to see full entry.

The Gift of Remembrance

All gifts are not welcome. Some are not easily seen as gifts, but as burdens and scourges. Others still are not appreciated simply because they are not what was expected. Our remembrances stand as gifts to our growth and understanding. They serve little purpose when shunted, buried, or colored over... Sign in to see full entry.

What is Your Purpose Here?

Society can tell you; religion can tell you; your parents can tell you. We go through our lives thinking that what others tell us is our purpose is our reason for being here. Although we do have certain responsibilities, our purpose is unique for each of us, depending on our personalities,... Sign in to see full entry.

Come What May

The angst of becoming what you are impedes its true expression. The status quo insists that you hide in the darkness of its shadow, which is the promise of security. Yet, an idea cannot live in the moment of awakening; neither can your fears of rejection stand against an ounce of self-acceptance.... Sign in to see full entry.

Your World is Not Mine

Uniqueness serves the purpose of gaining empathy and thus understanding acceptance; Begin within and the path emerges through the denseness of outer confusion and embattlement; Does not all sorrow begin as the desire to coalesce through discrete means? Is agreement the objective, if a way is sought... Sign in to see full entry.

Nothing is Free

Allotted to every action is an accompanying reaction. It can be called the consequence or the effect of the action taken. The way I view the world surrounding myself is therefore a summation of what I have given to it. A thief creates his own paranoia. Those who come to take what is rightfully his...

Who Am I To Say?

I've never voiced my opinion much, for the simple fact that I waived my right to being a citizen early in my life. I spent many years in seclusion and contemplation, developing my own beliefs based on what I felt was true. In the eyes of the world, I am no pundit; neither am I passionate about...
