Most of my younger days were spent with a joint in my fingers, the teenage angst pushing through into my 20’s and 30’s. Married at 26, failed by 37, I stumbled through life with anger and a self-righteous attitude, thinking the world was wrong and I had the answers. Foolishly following the disastrous path of…

How does one find the truth within? With action or deed, through wisdom or thought? Maybe it will come in the night, a dream unseen in the light of wakefulness, beckoning us to explore its mysteries.

I think the human mind can be a vast wasteland of unbridled thoughts, misconceptions, and self-righteous pantomimes by which we fool ourselves into thinking all is good in our lives. Forever pushing aside anything that might bring our focus to the facts because we may not like what we find, we stumble through life turning…

The next chapter in my recent life started during COVID. I was kind of floating through life, searching for a deeper sense of purpose after dedicating so much time to caring for my parents and coping with the myriad difficulties of that unprecedented time. With no home or apartment to call my own, I found…
