I’ve recently reopened my dream folder on my computer and have had some interesting ideas spring forth. Before I can allow myself to feel comfortable with the dream, I need to explore why another model of it failed. We were successful in our mission. We excelled at peer to peer groups, financial assistance, and helping…

My Deployment to Djibouti
The travel was intense: Norfolk to Atlanta, Atlanta to FT Benning (renamed now), Ft Benning to Atlanta, Atlanta to Norfolk, Norfolk back to Atlanta, back to FT Benning, Back to Atlanta, back to Norfolk, forward onto Italy, then Bahrain, then Dubai, then Djibouti. Returning home was just as interesting: In-between: Kenya, Ethiopia Djibouti to Dubai,…
Not Interested
I’m not interested in financial success. I am interested in the voice of my work carrying hope and the reflection of a man on a recovery journey. I have published some collections and priced them; it is because I think there is value and a different audience. People who won’t take time to peruse a…
Drifting
Drifting on the suns debris, Away into ethereal thoughts, Blue sky vast and deep, Orange haze burns away, Far away into ozone, Ferocious winds churning the roulette, Traveling space lanes, Down the expressway, Away from stars, Away, deep in galaxy, Far away, Into the churning reality of eternity.

An Insight into My Motivational Landscape
My views will not be normal, and they will depart from logical structure and lean into emotional reasoning. I’ve been thinking a lot about the journey across the churning river that held me back. It was a mixture of logic and emotions that were difficult to sort. So many moments created shock waves in my…
Love you lots
I love you lots, I love you more than pokadots, I love you lots, I love you more than tater tots, My love and I had the most interesting response back and forth to each other this morning.
Gave me a compliment
What’s the kindest thing someone has ever done for you? A lot of my life has been spent living in emotional pain from loneliness. In high school an English teacher I wasn’t even in class with would stop me in the hall and tell me I was doing a good job and to keep my…
