In her hands she holds a book with a silk cover, dark purple and glittering. Sitting down in a quiet cove, the story drifts to a new world, a place of starry skies. The story connects me to a memory: camping in a quiet world, no Internet, no pressures, just me and my imagination. In […]
This week, I’m going to stream-of-consciousness dream world type stuff. No one else in it, not because I want to live forever alone, but so as not to presume anyone else would want my fantasy too. Of course, every fantasy – for me – has to start in a library. Come on in, and pull […]

CLICK THE FROG TO JOIN THE PARTY Not sure if I’ll be back,but leave the light on.When every other light goes dark…. she thinks of his parting words.

Tiki torches stuck in the groundwhere they belong,can light paths […]
This is not a (spontaneous) spiritual reflection. Someone submitted an A2A on Quora, and part of me is still wondering why none of the answers I saw mentioned the Lord’s Prayer. So, I had to say the Lord’s Prayer in an online forum. Because that is the answer to that question. Right? Also, whatever prayer […]
Well blog readers, I had a mini implosion on Saturday that had to do with a serious misunderstanding with my pastor slash guy who is severely underpaid and overworked. Nothing a ten second convo and a bit of existential angst couldn’t cure. And then, we spent the rest of time in the confessional doing what […]
I live very close to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, comfortably in the suburbs, but I have many friends/acquaintances/former coworkers who work or live in or near the capitol complex. There may be riots there this weekend because of the presidential inauguration. Because the world didn’t have enough problems already. I know. Plus, no one has sent us […]
CLICK THE FROG TO JOIN THE PARTY! Once upon a time, I remember you said: always count the cost. No one starts major construction without first counting the cost. Forever feels like a very long time to promise to anyone. My breath catches at the thought. Can we really do this? Really? Then, I remember. […]
