Announcements, rants, affirmations and all else that doesn’t quite fit into the other categories are posted here. From poetry that probably won’t be made into a song, to in-the-moment expressions of thoughts and feelings that probably won’t make it into a story. I will share here, whatever comes to mind and heart. Occasionally, I also may take creative writing pieces from my past, revise and revive them to post here.

8/25/18: Agressive Nakedness

"We can’t connect unless we are already separate; and we can’t separate unless we are already connected. Such is the apparent paradox of relationship.

8/2/18: Sure, Not

I know we've come a long way We're changing day to day But tell me, where do the children play? ------ Cat Stevens No answers, only questions. More and more questions. Certainty is now the enemy, and truth (or even speculation) becomes a political position. Thus all ideas fail to fully come to market, mincing [...]

7/16/18: A Right to Privacy.

7/7/18: My Net Neutrality

Ever since I started this blog my dear reader, (October 8th, 2017)... I've been a bit conflicted about how I want to use the other aspects of my so-called "internet presence". I hadn't really thought about it much, before now. Since the early days, I've been just doing whatever came to mind. I'd occasionally get [...]
